Materials & Sustainability
Safe, stable, and sustainable materials designed for global compliance. Every yarn, fiber, and component is selected for market readiness, traceability, and long-term supply consistency.
Material Documentation Pack
Move faster with a clear, audit-friendly documentation set. We provide material specs, certificates, and traceability records (with sensitive details masked when needed).
- Material spec sheet (yarn / filling / components)
- SDS/MSDS + CoA (where applicable)
- Certificates: GOTS / OEKO-TEX / GRS (project-based)
- Faster compliance evaluation & approval
- Reduced testing rework and delays
- Audit-ready traceability & record retention
Material Selection Principles
Every material choice is guided by three non-negotiable criteria that protect compliance, supply continuity, and long-term program stability.
Safety First
Pre-screened for EN71, ASTM F963, and CPC readiness. We prioritize restricted substances control, physical safety, and age-appropriate standards.
- Restricted substances list screening
- Phthalates / heavy metals readiness
- Age grading compatibility
Supply Stability
Multi-year supply programs with established mills. We manage color continuity and batch-to-batch consistency across long-running collections.
- Batch continuity controls
- Predictable lead times & forecasting
- Color standard + lab dip workflow
Full Traceability
Lot-based tracking from mill to finished goods. We can map materials → production batches → shipments for fast investigation and compliance support.
- Lot ID & inbound record
- Supplier CoA linking
- Record retention & rapid retrieval
Yarn & Core Materials
A curated material portfolio tailored to product category, washability, hand-feel, cost, and market compliance.
Premium Cotton Yarns
High-grade cotton options with stable twist and reliable color retention—ideal for premium toys and collectible-grade IP derivatives.
Acrylic Blend Systems
Durable, washable, and cost-effective for high-volume production and DIY applications—supported by pilling and odor control screening.
Specialty Fibers
Bamboo, modal, and functional blends for specific texture and performance—evaluated for feasibility, compliance readiness, and long-term availability.
Quick Material Selector
typical guidanceMaterial Customization Options
Materials can be adapted based on your project requirements, market regulations, and brand standards—without sacrificing continuity controls.
Sustainability Options
Sustainability is evaluated for viability, compliance readiness, cost impact, and supply continuity—so your program stays stable after launch.
We confirm viability before committing: compliance needs, supply continuity, color stability, and total cost impact.
Certification & Standards
Certificates and claims are provided only when applicable to the chosen material and program scope.
Sustainability claims must match the selected material and certificate scope. We provide supporting evidence for your product documentation.
Material Compliance Readiness
Materials are pre-qualified for major safety standards—so you reduce compliance risk and accelerate time-to-market.
EN71 (EU)
Materials screened for common EU toy-safety chemical and performance requirements to reduce rework during product testing.
- Key restricted substances readiness
- Dye/chemical control documentation
- Material-level pre-screening
ASTM F963 + CPC (US)
Testing-ready materials and documentation support for CPSC compliance workflows and CPC packages.
- Material screening reduces retest risk
- Age grading compatibility review
- Documentation support for audits
UK / CA / AU & Beyond
Market-specific alignment for UKCA-related workflows, Canada requirements, and AU/NZ expectations—handled project-by-project.
- Market-ready documentation strategy
- Risk points review (labels, parts, filling)
- Compliance checklists available
Testing & Documentation Process
A streamlined workflow that reduces testing friction and delivers a complete documentation package for your market entry.
- Test report PDF (lab issued)
- CPC support docs (US projects)
- Material traceability set (lot mapping)
Typical Testing Timeline
- Dye/chemical compliance mismatches
- Filling fiber shedding & odor issues
- Small parts / labels / age-grade conflicts
Material Traceability & Consistency
Visibility and control across sourcing, batch management, and continuity—built for long-running brand programs.
Batch Management System
Every lot is tracked from inbound to finished product. We map lot IDs to production batches to support fast investigation and documentation requests.
Consistency Monitoring
We monitor batch continuity for color, texture, and performance to reduce surprises during long-term replenishment cycles.
Supply Chain Transparency
audit-supportVisibility from fiber source to finished product, aligned with your compliance and sustainability reporting requirements.
Mill Partnerships
Stable, long-term supplier relationships with documented quality and compliance support.
Fiber Sourcing
Traceability evidence provided where required, aligned to program scope.
Processing Records
Dyeing/finishing documentation and chemical control evidence (project-based).
