Character construction
Pattern, pile direction, filling, embroidery and structural zones protect the approved silhouette.
Cross-factory smart plush
Soft outside. Engineered all the way through.
One team coordinates the character body, plush pattern, acoustic path, PCB, firmware, sensors, battery access, assembly, testing and packaging, so the toy feels right and works reliably.

What this team solves
A product system, not a disconnected supplier list.
Every capability below connects to the same brief, approvals and target launch.
Acoustic integration
Speaker, microphone and openings are placed to reduce muffling and feedback inside soft materials.
Electronics module
PCB, firmware, connectors, sensors, lights and power are sized for assembly and service access.
Interaction design
Squeeze, touch, motion, voice and light responses are mapped to clear, testable behaviors.
Access and washability
Battery security, removable modules, seams, labels and cleaning assumptions are designed together.
Combined production
Plush and electronics checks meet at final assembly, functional test, packaging and inspection.
Buyer advantage
Most smart-plush failures happen between two suppliers.
A plush vendor can preserve the character while breaking acoustics. An electronics vendor can optimize the PCB while ignoring seams, access and hand feel. The integration plan makes both factories answer to one approved product.
Build My Smart Plush- Character silhouette and structural zones
- Speaker, microphone and vent location
- Battery door or removable module access
- Touch, squeeze, motion and light placement
- Washability and surface-cleaning assumptions
- Final assembly and functional test sequence
Approval-led process
Know what each stage must prove.
The next stage starts only when the current product decision is documented well enough to protect cost, quality and schedule.
Character and behavior brief
Align the visual reference with the intended interaction and age group.
Placement prototype
Test module size, acoustics, access, sensors and structure in an early body.
Golden sample
Approve appearance, hand feel, interaction and packaging as one finished product.
Pilot assembly
Verify sewing tolerance, connector routing, module installation and functional checks.
Scale and inspect
Control incoming materials, in-process assembly, function, pack-out and shipment.
Interactive buyer tool
Plan electronics placement inside the plush
Set the size, power, washability and interaction zones, then add your details. Send once and we reply with the placement plan and the integration questions for the first prototype.
Integration inputs
Set the plush and electronics assumptions, then add your details. One send returns the placement plan and reaches the engineers who own both sides of the build.
Working recommendation
Project plan
One send returns this placement plan and reaches the engineers who own both sides of the build. It is a planning aid, not a final engineering, cost or compliance decision.

Use this resourceQuestions before the first review
Can the electronics be removable?
Yes, when the product design supports a secured pocket or access panel. The age grade, connector, battery and cleaning method must be reviewed together.
Where should the speaker go?
Placement depends on the body, filling, fabric, intended loudness and microphone location. It should be tested in an early body rather than chosen from a diagram alone.
Can you preserve our exact character proportions?
The team begins from your character views and flags where internal volume, seams, electronics or safety constraints may require controlled adjustments.
Who controls final assembly?
The project plan defines where modules are installed, routed and tested, with one golden sample and one final quality plan.
How long does the first sample take?
A standard-platform sample may take roughly 7 to 14 days after requirements and files are approved. Custom tooling, electronics, firmware or complex mechanisms receive a project-specific schedule after feasibility.
Who owns the project IP and files?
Your brand, characters, artwork and content remain yours. Ownership of paid custom deliverables is defined in the signed agreement, while Chloe Toys retains its pre-existing tools, reusable technology and manufacturing know-how.

Common question
who makes plush toys with electronics inside
Chloe Smart Plush Works handles this as the cross-factory property, using the Chloe Toys owned plush operation for pattern, cut, sew and finishing, and the owned PCB operation for electronics and firmware. One team coordinates the character body, acoustic path, PCB, firmware, sensors, battery access, assembly, testing and packaging. That matters because most smart-plush failures happen between two separate suppliers, where one protects the character and the other optimizes the board. The project ends in one golden sample covering appearance and function, and one quality plan from assembly through pack-out.
