A custom plush project normally starts with a clear reference: artwork, a character sheet, an existing sample, or even a rough sketch. The more information you can share about size, quantity, target market and intended use, the easier it is to define the first development direction.
1. Define the brief
Before sampling, align on the visual target, approximate dimensions, materials, branding details, functions and packaging expectations.
2. Build and review a prototype
The prototype is where proportions, construction details and visual choices become tangible. Feedback at this stage should be specific and prioritized.
3. Approve for production
Once the sample direction is confirmed, production planning can focus on consistency, packaging and delivery requirements.
