We maintain full control over our manufacturing pipeline in our certified facilities, ensuring quality, consistency, and clear communication. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how your custom TPR Food Toy comes to life.

Phase 1: Concept Design & 3D Modeling (5-12 Business Days)

Your vision starts here. Our creative design team collaborates with you to transform your idea—whether for a classic food item, a branded snack character, or a fantastical food creation—into a detailed 3D digital model. We specialize in optimizing designs for both visual realism and manufacturing efficiency, ensuring perfect wall thickness for an ideal squeeze. You will review and approve photorealistic 3D renders before tooling begins.

Phase 2: High-Precision Mold Fabrication (18-30 Business Days)

This is the most critical phase, defining the final product’s detail and quality. Upon your approval, our master toolmakers craft a precision hardened steel mold (or aluminum for prototypes). The mold cavity is meticulously machined and polished to a mirror finish to capture every intricate detail of the food texture. We then produce first-article samples (T1 samples) for your hands-on evaluation of aesthetics, feel, and function.

Phase 3: Material Preparation & Color Masterbatch Matching

Concurrently, we prepare the TPR material. Using a masterbatch system, we achieve exact, consistent, and vibrant colors crucial for food realism—think the perfect red for a tomato or the golden brown for french fries. We can match any Pantone (PMS) color for brand-specific projects.

Phase 4: Automated Injection Molding & Cooling

The colored TPR granules are fed into state-of-the-art, computer-controlled injection molding machines. The material is heated and injected under precise pressure into your custom food-shaped mold. A controlled cooling cycle solidifies the toy, ensuring dimensional stability and perfect shape retention.

Phase 5: Post-Processing & Rigorous Quality Assurance

After ejection, each toy undergoes de-flashing to remove any minuscule seam lines. Our multi-stage QC process is stringent:

Visual Inspection: For color accuracy, surface defects (sink marks, bubbles), and overall visual appeal.

Tactile & Functional Test: Every piece is squeezed to verify the correct rebound elasticity and pleasing hand feel.

Dimensional Check: Ensuring consistency across the production run.

Safety Audit: Final verification for any sharp edges or points.

Phase 6: Custom Packaging & Final Shipping

The approved toys are packaged according to your specifications. They are then securely packed in shipping cartons, ready for global dispatch via your chosen logistics partner.

Total Project Timeline: For a new custom TPR Food Toy design, the standard lead time from final 3D model approval to shipped goods is 50-70 calendar days. For reorders using existing molds, production can be completed in 20-30 days. A detailed schedule is provided upon project initiation.

We excel at transforming creative concepts into tangible, market-ready products. Our end-to-end customization ensures your TPR Food Toy aligns perfectly with your brand identity and target audience.

Bespoke Food Design & Sculpting:

Original Creations: Design your own unique food mascot, a themed series (e.g., breakfast set, sushi platter, holiday foods), or a hybrid fantasy food item.

Brand Integration: Incorporate your company logo or product shape into a food-themed squeeze toy for unique brand merchandise.

True-to-Life Color and Finish Customization:

Photorealistic Color Matching: We specialize in achieving the exact hues and gradients found in real food to maximize appeal.

Special Effects: Utilize translucent TPR for jelly or soda designs, glow-in-the-dark features, metallic finishes for accents, or soft-touch coatings for a premium feel.

Multi-Material/Overmolding: For complex designs like a burger with different-colored “ingredients,” we can employ multi-shot molding techniques for a seamless, multi-color product.

Functional and Interactive Enhancements:

Keychain/Bag Clip Attachment: Add a functional loop during molding for portability.

Scent Infusion: Impregnate the TPR with food-safe, pleasant scents (e.g., vanilla, strawberry, chocolate) for an added sensory dimension.

Variable Hardness: Adjust the Shore hardness to create a softer, more pliable toy or a firmer, more robust one.

Integrated Features: Include a built-in squeaker, rattle, or magnetic base for added play value or utility.

Appetizing Retail & Promotional Packaging:

We design packaging that enhances the product’s desirability:

Blister Cards & Clamshells: Mimic food packaging aesthetics with bold, mouth-watering graphics and clear visibility.

Gift Boxes & Display Trays: Package sets of food toys in styled boxes, like a “sushi boat” or “fruit basket.”

Poly Bags with Custom Headers: Cost-effective for bulk orders, event favors, or promotional giveaways.

Sustainable Options: Recycled cardboard and minimal plastic solutions.

Flexible Ordering for All Business Sizes:

We support brands of all scales with competitively low Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) for custom projects, enabling market testing and limited editions. Our dedicated service team manages your project from concept to delivery.
