About Your Custom Made Teddy Bear

Make your own teddy bear using your illustrations, designs, and artwork. Custom made teddy bears, made from Suede Vision fabric and filled with the finest stuffing, is a unique way to show your work and lends itself to any number of different design styles. Suede vision is an incredibly soft yet ultra-strong material, producing great results on abrasion tests. It is fire rated and has no small parts which could come off, and there are no chemicals or inks used in the processing which can leach off, so is perfectly safe for children and for use at bedtime.

How Your Custom Teddy Bear Is Made

Our professional technicians print your design onto fire rated, super-soft Suede Vision fabric. We do this first so that your design is printed edge to edge in glorious colour. They are then cut to shape by highly skilled craftsmen, using the unique Contrado pattern. Once printed and cut out, the fabric is passed to our expert seamstresses, who will stitch your custom made teddy bears together. They're then filled with the highest grade stuffing, before being quality checked and sent to you.

Care Instructions

To clean your custom made teddy bears, simply wipe down the surface. Do not soak your bear.

Surface wipe only. Clean gently by hand with mild soapy damp cloth.

Design Tips

When you make your own teddy bear you are given an entirely blank canvas. This means that not only can you choose the main designs of your custom teddy bears, but you can also create the faces yourself; giving you full control over where the facial features will sit, and even what they look like. You could choose to make your own teddy bear without a face, and use features of your design to give expression to your teddy bear. Completely handmade, custom made teddy bears are truly a unique way to get your personal designs noticed.

Print Guideline

What's the best resolution to print in?

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results.What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What does GSM mean?

Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
What are bleed areas?

When designing your product, it's best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a "Bleed Area" or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it's important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.

Do you print on garments a customer supplies?

Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better-finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?

We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
Can I print my own Labels?

Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding. If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.

Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, all measurements may vary slightly.
