Where toys are made
China has multiple manufacturing regions and supplier types for toys, from plastic molding and plush production to wooden products, educational toys, outdoor items, and promotional products. The best location depends on the construction and order requirements.
Questions to ask
Clarify age range, materials, dimensions, moving parts, batteries, magnets, packaging, artwork, testing, and traceability. Requirements vary by destination, so identify the target market early.
Quality focus
Check function, seams, edges, small parts, smell, paint or coatings, labels, packaging, and consistency with the approved sample. Product inspection does not replace required laboratory testing or legal review.
Before you begin
Start with the intended use, target buyer, materials, dimensions, expected quantity, packaging, destination market, and any existing reference sample.
A useful decision checklist
- What toy certifications are required?
- How do I check a toy factory?
- What should a toy sample include?
What to do next
