Sense2 supplies custom plush toys finished with your branding — teddy bears, koalas, kangaroos and other characters, plus bespoke mascots cut to your shape. Most models carry the logo on a printed t-shirt; some offer embroidery or full-colour digital print. The tradeoff is simple: a stock character with a printed tee is quick and affordable, while a bespoke mascot gives you the shape but demands more artwork work. Pick the animal, then pick the print method.

How to choose
Start with the animal and the audience. A teddy bear in a branded t-shirt suits almost any recipient; a koala, kangaroo or kiwi ties the gift to a place or theme. Sizes range from small desk pieces around twenty centimetres to a standing bear near forty. Bigger plush reads as a gift; smaller ones work as bulk giveaways. The shirt is the branding surface on most models, so your logo must work at the stated print size — often a rectangle under fifty millimetres wide. Simplify the mark before you simplify the plush.
Then choose the print method the model supports. One-colour silkscreen suits a clean logo and keeps the shirt looking like clothing. Full-colour digital print handles gradients and multi-colour marks but can read as merchandise rather than apparel. Transfer print sits between the two. Bespoke mascots allow embroidery and a shape cut to your design — the strongest identity play, but it needs vector artwork and more planning. Confirm the fabric composition of the selected model with Sense2, ask for documented care instructions, and approve the digital proof before production.

Personalised Teddy Bears & Custom Plush ToysWhat is the minimum order for custom plush toys?
Minimums start at 50 units in this range; each product states its own minimum order. Unit price depends on quantity, so ask for a stepped quote across the quantities you are weighing up.
How long does production take for custom plush toys?
From under a week for stocked express lines up to 9 weeks from artwork approval, depending on the product — each product page states its own production window. Freight time depends on your destination and is quoted with the order.
Can I order a sample of Custom Plush Toys before placing a full order?
Yes — samples are available. Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.
Does the Best Price Guarantee apply to custom plush toys?
Yes. If you show Sense2 an Australian competitor's advertised price for an identical product, we verify it and match it — the guarantee covers promotional merchandise resellers operating in Australia and excludes clearance, seconds and manufacturer pricing. Details are in our terms.

What are custom plush toys typically used for?
Most of this range is chosen for team celebrations, anniversaries and openings. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.
How do I choose between a stock animal and a bespoke mascot?
Choose a stock character when a printed shirt suits your logo and the available range suits the occasion. For a mascot shaped to a specific character, compare the bespoke options and ask which branding methods that model supports. Some use embroidery, others use a printed garment. Confirm artwork requirements and the production schedule with the quote.
What artwork constraints apply to the t-shirt printing?
Print areas are small — commonly a rectangle around forty-five by forty millimetres, up to seventy by forty-five on the larger bears. Supply vector artwork where possible and strip the logo back to its essential elements. Fine text and gradients may not survive one-colour silkscreen; full-colour digital print handles more detail but check it against the stated print size for your chosen model before you commit.
What are the minimums and how does quoting work?
Minimums vary by model, and bespoke mascots carry their own setup considerations. Send Sense2 your chosen plush, print method, quantity and artwork for a written quote. Setup and freight are quoted separately from the unit price. For bespoke shapes, expect a more detailed quote conversation since the pattern and embroidery are built to your design.
How far ahead should I plan a plush order?
Plush production is slower than flat-goods printing, and bespoke mascots add pattern-making on top. Work backwards from your event date, add buffer for proof revisions, and confirm the schedule with Sense2 before locking the date. Rushing a plush order usually means compromising on the character or the print method, so start the conversation early rather than asking for compression later.
What should I check about materials and care?
Ask for the documented care instructions and fabric composition for the specific model you select — plush fabrics and fillings vary between lines, and some may be composites rather than a single natural fibre. If the plush is intended for young children, raise that with Sense2 so suitability can be assessed against the item's own specifications rather than assumed.
How does the digital proof and ordering process work?
After you approve the quote, Sense2 prepares a digital proof showing your artwork positioned on the shirt or mascot. Production starts only once you approve that proof in writing, so review colours, placement and spelling carefully — the finished goods are matched against the approved proof. Any changes after approval can affect schedule and cost, so settle artwork before the proof stage.
Softness against precision
A plush toy is the least precise object in a merchandise program. It is rounded, fuzzy and slightly asymmetrical, and that is exactly why people keep it. The tradeoff for a buyer sits in the branding. A printed t-shirt gives you a flat, controlled surface for a crisp logo — precision borrowed from apparel. A bespoke mascot abandons the shirt and puts your identity into the shape itself, which is stronger but harder to get right. Most buyers land on the middle path: a stock character, a simplified logo, a shirt printed in one colour so it reads as clothing rather than packaging. The plush does the emotional work; the shirt does the brand work.
