Commonly Used Plush Fabrics
As part of our professional plush development service, we select materials based on texture, durability, and suitability for different plush applications. With access to a wide range of industry-standard fabrics, we help you identify the most practical and production-ready options for your custom plush project.
Crystal Super Soft (Short Plush)
Crystal Super Soft is known for its smooth, delicate touch and short fiber length ranging from 1–5mm. This fabric offers good color uniformity, stable surface texture, and a high degree of softness, making it ideal for plush toys that require clean lines or simple shapes. Slimmer variants create a sleek appearance, while thicker versions add more visual volume.
PV Plush (Long Pile Plush)
PV Plush features longer fibers (5–50mm), rich colors, and a soft, dense texture suitable for medium- to large-size plush designs. Available in matte or semi-gloss finishes, this fabric maintains shape well and is commonly used for animal-themed plush and expressive characters requiring fuller volume.
Rabbit Velvet (Yutu Plush)
Rabbit Velvet is a soft, fine-fiber fabric with a gentle skin-like feel and a pile height of around 5mm. It offers a smooth, consistent sheen and is a popular choice for trendy plush products, keychains, and small plush lines that require a premium hand-feel without excessive fluff.
Spandex Super Soft (Elastic Plush)
Elastic Plush combines spandex fibers with a soft surface, offering excellent stretch recovery and resistance to wrinkling or deformation. This fabric is commonly used for plush cushions, stress-relief toys, and shapes requiring flexibility while maintaining structural integrity.
European Mink (High–Low Pile)
European Mink, also known as Snow Mink or Jade Fox Plush, blends natural and synthetic fibers to achieve a soft, luxurious texture. Its high–low pile surface brings plush characters to life with depth and visual dimension, making it suitable for premium plush lines and high-end collectible designs.
Pearl Plush
Pearl Plush stands out with its compact, bead-like surface and excellent resilience. It offers a smooth texture that works particularly well for short-fur animals, mascots, and character plush designs. Its stable structure makes it a reliable material for maintaining shape consistency.
How to Choose the Right Plush Fabric
Selecting the right fabric is a key step in ensuring your custom plush looks and performs as intended. Below are practical methods we recommend to help you make informed decisions during development.
1. Explore Local Stores or Existing Products
Visiting local toy or fabric shops can help you assess texture, density, and color in person. This is an effective way to build your initial preference list if you’re developing a new plush line.
2. Provide Samples or References
If you already have a sample plush or fabric swatch, share it with us. We will match it with the closest available options from our network of material suppliers. If you only have design sketches, we’ll recommend appropriate swatches based on usage and manufacturing feasibility.
3. Use Different Fabrics for Different Parts
Many plush toys require a mix of fabrics—short plush for the body, long plush for hair, and velvet options for facial areas. We’ll review your design and confirm all fabrics before sampling to ensure consistency and practicality throughout production.
4. Understand Fabric Quality Essentials
GSM (fabric weight), pile direction, shedding resistance, and elasticity all affect the final outcome. Higher GSM fabrics provide better durability, while premium long-pile materials offer improved softness and visual appeal.
Frequently Used Plush Accessories
In custom plush production, choosing the right accessories is essential for achieving accurate expression, safe construction, and strong visual appeal. This section presents commonly applied components that enhance functionality and reinforce the final look of your plush design. Each accessory category below is selected based on practicality, safety, and compatibility with mass production.
Plastic Eyes
Plastic eyes come in various types—including safety eyes, 3D printed eyes, cartoon styles, matte eyes, glossy eyes, and animal-specific versions. Selecting the right eye style significantly influences character expression. When developing your design, we provide guidance to match eye type, size, and fastening structure to your plush pattern.
Plastic Noses
Plastic noses range from rounded, embossed, and matte finishes to more detailed animal-style shapes. Depending on your plush model, we help align the nose size, color, and locking method to ensure stability during sewing and assembly, as well as compliance with safety requirements for various markets.
Key Rings & Hanging Parts
For mini plush, keychains, and promotional plush items, metal and PVC-based key rings are frequently used. Options include standard O-rings, lobster clasps, ball chains, and reinforced hanging loops. We help you choose the right structure based on durability expectations and intended usage.
Apparel Accessories
Apparel-style add-ons—such as bows, neckties, ribbons, miniature clothing, lace trims, and tiny props—enhance branding and visual identity. These additions require proper stitching positions and reinforced attachment methods to ensure durability during handling and transport.
Internal Functional Components
Internal components like squeakers, rattle beads, voice modules, magnets, crinkle paper, and LED boxes add interactive value to plush designs. We evaluate placement, safety housing, and wiring feasibility to ensure these features integrate smoothly into mass production.
Stuffing & Inner Materials
Though not visible externally, stuffing quality plays a major role in plush firmness, durability, and shape retention. Common options include PP cotton (polyester fiberfill), memory foam fragments, microbeads, and weighted pellets. We recommend the appropriate filling type based on softness requirements, size, and structural needs of your plush design.
Pet Plush Toy Customization
Pet plush toys require different production standards compared with regular plush items. For brands developing chew-friendly or interactive pet products, we offer material and construction options specifically adapted for pets’ play behavior. Key features include the use of reinforced fabrics, secure stitching methods, and pet-safe internal components to improve durability and safety during use. We also support custom shapes designed for tugging, fetching, or gentle chewing, along with branding elements suitable for pet categories.
