Best for

Choose logo plush & pillows if your moment is brand mascot merchandise, children's healthcare and member programs or retail gwp and unboxing moments.

Brand mascot merchandise

Commission a fully shaped plush from the character sheet — embroidered eyes read warmer than printed, and a woven hem label with the tagline makes the piece feel like retail, not promo. The right craft turns a mascot into a collectible.

Children's healthcare and member programs

Small comfort plush with AS/NZS ISO 8124 testing, removable care labels and hypoallergenic fill. Soft-pile rPET reads considered for sustainability-led briefs and washes beautifully.

Retail GWP and unboxing moments

A shaped cushion or mini plush tucked into a gift box is the piece people photograph. Dye-sub a campaign pattern edge-to-edge on the cushion cover so the brand story travels into the home.

Office and reception styling

Branded scatter cushions in tone-on-tone deboss-style embroidery or woven jacquard — the quietly luxurious version of a logo. Lovely on breakout-room sofas and client-lounge banquettes.

Our mascot plush arrived for the campaign launch and every child in the room asked if they could take one home. The embroidered face looked exactly like our character sheet — the Sense2 team understood the brand instantly and the pre-production sample stage made the whole thing feel safe.

Priya · Head of Brand
Melbourne health brand

We needed branded cushions for our flagship store refresh and wanted the embroidery to feel like tailoring, not promo. The tone-on-tone stitch on linen-look covers was exactly right, and delivery was a few days ahead of when we needed them.

How to choose

Start with the audience, because the audience changes everything about a plush brief. If the piece is going to a child — hospital programs, community events, kids' product launches — toy-safe compliance is not optional. We test to CE EN71, AS/NZS ISO 8124 and ASTM F963 where the campaign needs it, with embroidered eyes (never plastic safety-eyes on under-threes), tamper-resistant stitching and age-grade labels. That testing adds 2-3 weeks to the timeline and we build it in from the first call. For a brand mascot or character plush, the craft sits in the face. Embroidered features read warmer and more premium than printed; printed is fine for pattern work on the body but the expression should always be stitched. Send us the character turnaround sheet — front, side, three-quarter — and our in-house design studio builds the 3D render and a pre-production sample from real plush before tooling. That sample is where the real decisions happen: pile length, stuffing firmness, stitch density around the mouth, whether the ears sit up or flop. Cushions and branded pillows are the faster, lower-MOQ cousin of custom plush and a favourite for retail GWP, conference lounges and office styling. Dye-sublimation prints edge-to-edge on polyester covers for full-colour pattern work; embroidered logos or woven jacquard labels read quiet-luxury on linen-look or velvet covers. Cover-only styles ship flat and decorate cheaply; filled cushions ship bulky but land ready to photograph. On materials: super-soft short-pile is the most-loved plush finish because it photographs well and feels expensive. rPET plush (recycled from plastic bottles) is the answer when sustainability needs to be part of the story — the hand-feel is genuinely close to virgin polyester now. Organic cotton cushion covers suit hospitality and wellness brands. Minky is for the ultra-soft baby range. MOQs: bespoke-shaped plush starts around 250-500 because of tooling; printed or embroidered cushions on stock bases start at 50-100. If the brief is under 250 units, we'll often route you to a stock plush base with custom hem label and gift packaging — same emotional payoff, a third of the timeline.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: a fully custom-shaped plush at 250 units with embroidered features sits around AU$18-$28 per unit; at 1,000 units that drops to AU$9.50-$16. Branded cushion covers start at AU$6.50 at 100qty with a 1-2 colour embroidered logo; dye-sublimated full-colour covers sit AU$12-$22 at 100qty. Filled cushions add AU$4-$9 per unit depending on size (30x30cm to 50x50cm). Pre-production samples AU$180-$450 once off, credited against the order. Tooling for a new character mould is AU$600-$1,400 once off.

Delivery across Australia

Delivered Australia-wide. Custom-shaped plush runs 8-12 weeks from artwork and sample approval, including toy-safety testing where required — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra all on the same schedule. Branded cushions on stock bases turn in 2-4 weeks, with express 7-10 day options on selected lines. We kit into retail packaging, split-ship to multiple venues or state offices, and run timed-release dispatch for launch windows at no extra handling.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom logo plush toys?

Bespoke-shaped plush starts at 250-500 units because of tooling. If your brief is under 250, we'll route you to a stock plush base with a custom woven hem label and branded gift packaging — same emotional payoff at a much shorter timeline. Branded cushions on stock bases start at 50-100 units.

How long do custom plush and branded pillows take to produce?

Fully custom-shaped plush runs 8-12 weeks from artwork approval, including the pre-production sample round and toy-safety testing where required. Branded cushions on stock bases turn in 2-4 weeks. For late briefs, we can often drop-ship stock plush with a custom hem label in 10-14 days.

Are your plush toys tested for children's safety?

Yes. We test to CE EN71, AS/NZS ISO 8124 and ASTM F963 where the campaign needs it — essential for anything going to children or entering retail. Under-threes get embroidered features only (no plastic safety-eyes), tamper-resistant stitching and age-grade labelling. Testing adds 2-3 weeks and we factor it in from day one.

What branding methods work best on plush and cushions?

On plush, embroidered features and a woven hem label read the most premium — printed logos are fine for pattern work but the face should always be stitched. On cushions, dye-sublimation gives full-colour edge-to-edge pattern, embroidery reads tailored and quiet-luxury, and woven jacquard labels are the refined tone-on-tone option.

Can I see a sample before committing to tooling?

Always, and we insist on it. A pre-production sample in real plush — not just a 3D render — is AU$180-$450 once off and credited against the order. You hold the piece, feel the pile, check the face against the character sheet, and adjust before tooling. Thirty years of soft-goods briefs has taught us decisions are made in the hand, not on screen.

Do you offer eco-friendly plush and cushion options?

Yes. rPET plush (recycled from plastic bottles) now has a hand-feel genuinely close to virgin polyester, and organic cotton cushion covers suit wellness and hospitality briefs. CertiPUR-compliant fill is available on request, as is FSC-certified gift packaging. Talk to our team about the sustainability story you want the piece to carry.
