Plush toy materials
1. Identification of toy fabrics (commonly used):
2 plush cloth:
A, A yarn (also called ordinary yarn, BOA material) is divided into:
3. Glossy yarn: Generally, it is glossy. Under the light, the hair direction can be divided into yin and yang.
4 Matte yarn: that is, matte color, basically no yin and yang;
B. V yarn (also called special yarn, T-590, Vonnel) has even cut (Even Cut) and long and short hair (Uneven cut). The hair length is in the range of 4-20mm, which is a mid-range material;
C. Hipile (Shanghai style, plush): The hair length is within the range of 20-120mm. Any hair length can be made within the range of 20-45mm. Above 45mm, there are only 65mm and 120 (110) mm. It is long and short hair. Due to the quality of the original yarn, The impact of Hipil is obvious, so we should require plush factories to use raw yarns above Japan's Mitsubishi level. The wool should be straight and not easy to curl.
D. Others:
1. Curly plush (rolled tufted wool): ①Tumbling boa, A yarn curly wool: most of them are granular wool, lamb hair, or the hair root is in the shape of a bundle, and the top is rolled up. Usually used to make more classic toys, the hair length can be up to 15mm; the price is much cheaper than Shanghai-style curly hair.
②Tumbling H.P, Shanghai-style curly hair: Usually the hair is longer, the curl effect is looser, and there are many styles to choose from;
2. Super soft material: has started to be used, the material is very soft; please note that the price will be different depending on the raw yarn.
3. There is also D.D.F: it is a kind of H.P., stiff, high-grade material, usually mixed colors.
E. Plush printing materials include: 1. printing; 2. jacquard; 3. tip-dyed: (like mixed wool glasses open book); 4. variegated color; 5. two tone, etc.
※Note: Checking the quality of plush cloth depends on: 1. Plush density and weight, and whether the hand feel is smooth (that is, whether the exposed bottom yarn is serious, whether the wool surface is standing up or lying down, the weight and the quality of the plush factory finishing are more affected) Large),; 2. The raw yarn quality and the weaving quality affect the smoothness effect; 3. The shearing quality affects the wool height; 4. The dyeing accuracy affects the color; 5. The effect of the matte surface on a larger area depends on whether the matte effect is dense. , erect, supple, with or without abnormal indentations, wavy lines, random hair direction and other abnormal phenomena; the above aspects can basically be used to judge the quality.
Of course, different grades of products have different requirements. We should learn to judge and grasp the acceptance scale. The safest way is to confirm the sheet first, then place an order, and receive the goods according to the sheet.
※Plush factories generally develop new varieties with different styles, feel, wool texture, curling and rolling effects every year for toy factories to design new styles. We should take the initiative to clarify the names, specifications and attributes of new varieties in order to make accurate classifications. and applications.
(2) Velboa: There are many styles. It is clear from the color card of Fuguang Company. In recent years, it has become very popular to make bean bags. Most of the TY beans that are popular in the United States and Europe are made of this material. We produce them. Wrinkled Bear also falls into this category.
※When checking the quality, please pay attention to: the softness of the wool surface. Generally, the quality of the wool falling down is poor, but the printed shearing fabric will have a little falling. If it is not serious, it should be acceptable.
※General plush (including plush cloth and sheared cloth), if the weight is low, the hair will easily fall down and cannot stand up. Please pay attention during quality inspection. It is difficult to measure the hair length of shearing cloth. The hair is short and the fabric appears thin, so you should check it carefully. Generally, the hair length should be 2.5-3.5mm, normal is 3.00mm. Curly shearing cloth can reach 5-10mm, and its relative weight is also relatively heavy. High, please indicate the hair length requirements when signing the contract. Generally, the weight of 3mm is 450g/Y-480g/Y. Special requirements must be noted. In addition, shearing cloth also has hair direction.
(3) Honey velvet (velour): similar to shearing cloth, but the hair length is about 1.5-2mm, and its elasticity is larger than that of shearing cloth; there is no hair direction.
(4) Edge fabric (Nylex, Tricot): It is divided into ordinary edge fabric (100% Polyster) and nylon edge fabric (Nylon). The ordinary types are usually used. It is easier to produce, screen-print and embroider the pieces. When screen-printing the pieces, be sure to control the length of the hair (usually no more than 1mm). Otherwise, the screen printing will be difficult, the color will not penetrate easily and the color will fade easily.
6 Pay attention to the weight, usually 44’’ 180g/Y. If the weight is low, you will see obvious lines, and the product will appear low-grade.
7 Nylon-edged fabric is rarely used and is only used when special products require strong adhesion, such as the beach hats we previously produced. Moreover, there is a minimum quantity for ordering materials, which must be ordered in Korea, so only special products will be considered.
(5) T/C cloth: (composition is 65% Polyster, 35% Cotton) There are three types:
5 110X76: thicker, used in printed cloth, or products with higher requirements; (higher density, not easy to fall apart)
6 96X72: second; density is thinner.
7 88X64: Again. Because the structure is relatively loose, the materials usually require medium to light paste to prevent the seams from unraveling and causing cracks.
2) and 3) are usually used for interlining. When using, you should choose according to the grade and purpose of the product.
(6) Cotton cloth (100% Cotton): used to make higher-grade printed cloth, thicker than T/C cloth.
(7) Felt: Pay attention to the thickness and softness. It is divided into two types: ordinary polyester and acrylic. We usually use ordinary polyester, which is harder and has a thickness of about 1.5mm. Acrylic is very soft and has loose and easy tissue. Rotten, often used for gifts, rarely used for toys.
(8) Polar fleece: It is divided into single-sided fleece and double-sided fleece. It feels soft but has greater elasticity.
(9) PU leather: It is a type of Polyester, not real leather. Note that the thickness of the fabric will vary depending on the base fabric.
※Note: PVC material cannot be used in all toys now, because PVC contains excessive toxic and fatal elements, so when purchasing, please pay attention to the fact that the material cannot be of PVC nature. As for packaging materials, some customers accept PVC materials, and some do not. Be very careful.
(10) Twill (Heavier T/C): It is also divided into cotton or T/C: thicker and the texture is clearly visible.
(11) Zhejiang cloth: measure the texture according to the count; it should be selected according to the grade and use of the product.
(12) Knitted fabric: The quality is divided into cotton or T/C according to the gram weight. The fabric has greater elasticity.
(13) Electronic velvet: thin and bright, but the wool surface is not soft enough;
(14) Velvet: There are several grades. The difference from electronic velvet is that it is softer and the price is relatively high.
(15) Flocking Material: It is divided into single-sided and double-sided. If the base fabric of single-sided flocking is different, the thickness and hardness are different, and the price is also different.
(16) Satin: Usually it is difficult to sew, and it is too soft and easy to yarn;
(17) Nylon cloth: Lining cloth: 170T, a kind of nylon cloth. It is very thin and cheap. You can consider lining the inner bag: Ordinary nylon cloth: 190T: Thick nylon cloth: 210T: Oxford cloth: 420T or more.
(18) Washed cloth, wrinkled cloth (Nylon Taffeta): The cloth surface has wrinkles. Since it can be washed, it can be used in some products, but it is difficult to sew.)
(19) Terry cloth: Cotton: The terry cloth is higher and looks rough. When used on toys, a thick base cloth should be used to prevent the cotton from escaping out easily.
T/C type: fine and smooth terry, mostly used in baby products, bath products, etc. Please note that the base fabric must be thick and not see through the cotton.
(20) Others: denim, glitter cloth
※Note: When determining fabric quality and unit price, be sure to pay attention to width, weight, density, wool length and other specifications. Do not just look at one value and ignore other conditions.
2 Ingredients include:
3 Eyes (also divided into plastic eyes, crystal eyes, cartoon eyes, movable eyes, etc.
4. Nose (also divided into plastic nose, flocked nose, bag nose, matte nose, etc.);
5 Ribbons: For designated colors, small quantities, or designated styles, please pay attention to the order quantity.
6. Plastic bags (PP bags are commonly used in American products and are cheaper. European products must use PE bags; PE bags are not as transparent as PP bags, but PP bags are more prone to wrinkles and breakage). PVC can only be used as packaging material (DEHP content Must be limited to 3%/square.), heat shrinkable film is mostly used in color box packaging as a protective film.
7 cartons: (two types)
8 Double-gauge A=B, A=C, B=B, B=C, C=C, triple-gauge, A and three-B are also available (such as backpack series use this type), unless specified by the customer, usually A is used for export outer boxes =B. For small export outer boxes, B=B or B=C can be considered. Before ordering cartons, you should first choose a genuine supplier. You should first confirm the various paper types provided by the carton factory. Note that each company may be different. Choose genuine ones. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the quality of each batch of goods to prevent the supplier from using them. Substandard products pass off as genuine products. In addition, factors such as weather humidity and rainy season climate may also have adverse effects on paper quality.
9 Single flute B33, C33, etc. are usually used as inner boxes or turnover cartons for domestic delivery. The quality of the outer paper and inner flute determines the hardness of the carton.
(6) Cotton: divided into 7D, 6D, 15D, and grade A, B, and C. What we use now are usually grade 7D/A, and 6D is less commonly used. Low-end products or products that are very full and hard should use 15D/B grade or C grade. 7D is very smooth and elastic, while 15D is thicker and harder.
According to the fiber length, it is divided into 64MM and 32MM cotton. The former is used for manual flushing of cotton, while the latter is used for machine flushing of cotton.
(7) Colloidal particles: (divided into PP and PE), the diameter should be greater than or equal to 3MM, and the particles should be smooth and uniform. Products exported to Europe are usually made of PE, which is more environmentally friendly. Unless there are special requirements from customers when exported to the United States, PP or PE can be used, and PP is cheaper. Unless otherwise specified by the customer, all rubber pellets for export products must be wrapped in inner bags.
(8) Plastic accessories: The body of ready-made plastic accessories cannot be changed, such as size, size, shape, etc. Otherwise, a mold needs to be opened. Generally, plastic molds are expensive, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the size of the mold and the craftsmanship. The difficulty depends on the choice of mold material. Therefore, if the production order output is less than 300,000 yuan, additional mold fees will be charged.
(9) (Color) printed materials: including color boxes, tags, stickers, etc. The price of color printing is directly related to the number of orders. If the order is small, the quantity of printing paper will be small, which may easily cause large color differences, uneven colors, and manufacturer losses. The proportion increases, so the unit price must be higher.
When determining the unit price of printed matter, you should pay attention to whether it includes film, proofing, coating and other costs. For customer-specified patterns, it is best for the customer to provide film and color drafts, and color proportions (four-color CMYK). ratio), which can speed up the speed and accuracy of board making.
(10) Cloth labels and woven labels: must pass 21 pounds of pulling force, so thick tapes are often used instead.
(11) Cotton belts, webbing, silk ropes, and elastic bands in various colors: Pay attention to distinguish the impact of different textures of raw materials on product quality and cost.
(12) Velcro, buckles and zippers: Pay attention to the fastness of Velcro (especially when the functional requirements are high).
Pay attention to the selection of zippers. #5 zippers can generally meet the test requirements of EN-71 and ASTM and can be suitable for products of all ages. #3 zippers may fail the tension and torque tests and are usually only used for products suitable for those over three years old.
Before designing and ordering materials, you should first understand the applicable scope of the product. When ordering and purchasing materials, suppliers should be reminded that they must comply with relevant safety standards. Note that the element content of dyes (oils) must meet standards.
※There are many fabrics for toys, so I won’t list them all here. More knowledge depends on daily accumulation, memorization and continuous learning. To understand materials, the way is to read more, remember more, and ask more questions, especially asking questions to suppliers, recording the material names and specifications correctly, understanding the performance of all aspects of the materials, and paying special attention to different specifications and prices from different manufacturers. Use appropriate judgment regarding quality and suitability for use when selecting suppliers.
