Custom soft toys in Singapore cost from under S$5 to about S$20 per piece at 100 to 1,000 pieces, depending on the type and size, and a fully custom plush of your own character starts from just 30 pieces. GiftHub makes branded soft toys for Singapore companies, schools and government agencies: fully custom plush mascots, plush keychains, teddy bears with a printed T-shirt, reversible plushies, plush bags and foldable plushie totes. This guide compares all six types side by side, with real per-piece prices, minimum order quantities and lead times, so you can pick the right one and budget for it before you ask for a quote.
Every price below is GiftHub's current price list, quoted without GST and with free delivery within Singapore.
How Much Do Custom Soft Toys Cost in Singapore?
The price of a custom soft toy depends on three things: whether it is built from your own design or starts from an existing toy, how big it is, and how many you order. Quantity matters most. A fully custom plush up to 15 x 10cm is S$16.00 per piece at 100 pieces, S$9.58 at 500 and S$8.60 at 1,000. The same toy at up to 25 x 10cm is S$20.00, S$13.99 and S$12.28.
Ready-made bases cost less because nothing has to be designed from scratch. A teddy bear with your logo is S$14.50 per piece at 50 pieces and S$11.80 at 500. A foldable plushie tote bag, a plush character that unzips into a shopping bag, is S$6.20 at 50 pieces and S$4.60 at 500.
Very small runs carry a steep per-piece price. A fully custom plush is S$40 per piece at 30 pieces, because each design needs its own pattern and setup whatever the quantity. If your budget is tight, moving from 30 to 100 pieces cuts the unit price by more than half. A one-time sample fee, from S$200 depending on size, applies to fully custom designs.
What Types of Custom Soft Toys Can You Order?
GiftHub offers six types of custom soft toy. They differ in how much of the toy you design yourself, and in what the recipient does with it afterwards.
1. Fully custom plush (your character or mascot)
A new soft toy built from your artwork: your mascot, your brand character, or an animal in your company colours. Shape, fabric colours and embroidered details all follow your design, and there is no extra charge for the custom design itself. This is the right choice when the toy has to be your brand, not just carry its logo. See the custom plush soft toys page for examples.
2. Plush keychain
A mini plush, up to about 8cm, on a keyring or bag clip. It can be a fully custom character in miniature. Plush keychains are the most popular soft toy for roadshows, trade shows and goodie bags because they are light, cheap to give in volume, and end up on bags where other people see them. Prices start at S$16.50 at 100 pieces and fall to S$6.85 at 1,000. See the plush toy keychain.
3. Teddy bear with a printed T-shirt
A classic teddy bear wearing a T-shirt printed with your logo, event name or message. Because the bear already exists, it is quick to produce and works from 50 pieces. Popular for graduations, hospital and CSR donation drives, and family days. Each bear's T-shirt can even carry a different name.
4. Reversible plushie
A plush that flips inside out to show a second character or a second expression. A playful giveaway for school events and roadshows, where the flip is the conversation starter. See reversible plushies.
5. Plush sling bag or backpack
A soft toy that is also a bag: a plush character with a zip pocket and a strap. It is the most useful of the six, and the one most likely to be used long after the event. See the soft toy sling bag and the custom plush bag.
6. Foldable plushie tote bag
A small plush character that unfolds into a full-size reusable shopping bag. It is the lowest-cost soft toy in the range and doubles as an eco gift.

What Is the MOQ for Custom Soft Toys?
At GiftHub the minimum order for a fully custom soft toy, including plush keychains, is 30 pieces per design. That is far lower than many buyers expect: custom plush is often assumed to need 500 or 1,000 pieces because each new design needs its own pattern. GiftHub absorbs that setup into the per-piece price instead of charging a separate tooling fee, which is why small runs cost more per piece but are still possible.
Ready-made bases, such as the teddy bear with a printed T-shirt and the foldable plushie tote, start from 50 pieces.
If you need several designs, the minimum applies to each design, and so does the price. Five characters at 100 pieces each are priced at the 100-piece rate, not the 500-piece rate, because each one is made separately. Some items differ, so contact us and we'll confirm the minimum for your product.
How Long Do Custom Soft Toys Take to Make?
For ready-made bases like the printed teddy bear, GiftHub's standard lead time is 12–14 working days after you approve the artwork, and 7-day express is available on selected items for an extra charge.
A fully custom plush has one extra step: the sample. Before bulk production, a physical sample is made so you can check the shape, colours and embroidery in your hand. Allow roughly 10–12 days for the sample, then 12–14 working days of production after you approve it. In practice, start about five to six weeks before your event. If your date is closer than that, tell us when you first ask: we can go ahead on a digital proof and send the physical sample alongside, or quote express production at an extra S$2.20 to S$4.00 per piece depending on size and quantity. You can have a physical sample or a very tight date, but usually not both.
Plan earlier still for year-end and Chinese New Year orders, which are the busiest months for corporate gifts in Singapore.
How Does Ordering a Custom Plush Toy Work?
- Send your brief. Your logo or character artwork (AI, PDF or EPS is best; a clear image is fine to start), the size, the quantity and the date you need it by.
- Get a quote. GiftHub replies with a per-piece price at your quantity, the sample fee if one applies, and a delivery date.
- Approve the design. You receive a digital mockup of the toy. Nothing goes into production until you have approved it in writing.
- Approve the sample (fully custom designs). Check it, ask for changes, then confirm.
- Production and delivery. Bulk production runs, and the order is delivered free within Singapore.
Which Custom Soft Toy Is Right for Your Event?
Four questions settle it:
- Is the toy your brand, or does it carry your brand? If you have a mascot or character, choose a fully custom plush. If you only need your logo on something soft, a teddy bear with a printed T-shirt is faster and cheaper.
- How many, and how far does the budget stretch? For 500 or more giveaways, a plush keychain or foldable plushie tote keeps the per-piece cost under S$10. For 50 VIP gifts, a larger custom plush makes more of an impression.
- How will people carry it home? At a roadshow or conference, a keychain or a sling bag travels easily. A 25cm plush is better handed out at a dinner or in an office.
- When is your event? Under three weeks away, choose a ready-made base. Five weeks or more, any type works.
