Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie Giraffe is a meticulously designed soft toy that successfully bridges the gap between a high-quality gift and a versatile promotional platform. Crafted with a soft polyester plush finish, this character features distinctive contrast details including hooves, nose, and horns, as well as a textured mane and tail. The design's primary innovation is the zip access located at the base, which allows for the removal of internal stuffing to facilitate a flat, stable surface for high-quality decoration on the white tummy panel. This ensures that custom branding is applied with precision, avoiding the distortion often found in standard soft toy decoration.
Key Features
- Soft Plush Fabric: Provides a premium tactile experience and comfort, making it suitable for users of all ages.
- Integrated Zip Base: Offers direct access to the decoration area by allowing the removal of stuffing, ensuring a superior finish for both print and embroidery.
- Safety-First Construction: Features sewn eyes and mouth to eliminate small parts, complying fully with EN71 European Toy Safety regulations.
- Contrast Detailing: The bold giraffe print combined with contrast mane and horns provides a visually striking appearance that complements your custom branding.
Design & Performance
The Zippie Giraffe is constructed from 100% polyester plush, a material selected for its durability and its ability to maintain a soft texture even after handling. Unlike conventional plush toys, the Zippie range is specifically engineered for the branding process. The removable inner stuffing pods mean that when the toy is placed under an embroidery frame or heat press, the fabric remains taut, resulting in a cleaner and more professional appearance. At 38cm, it is a substantial item that feels sturdy and well-manufactured, ensuring longevity as a keepsake or promotional item.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is uniquely suited for a range of customisation techniques, with a dedicated 17 x 19.5cm decoration area on the white tummy panel. Embroidery is an excellent choice for a sophisticated finish, ideal for adding names or detailed logos with a textured, high-end feel. For larger, more complex designs or vibrant graphics, the smooth polyester surface is perfect for both traditional printing and sublimation. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, handles all customisation in-house, ensuring that every giraffe meets our rigorous standards for quality and brand alignment.
Use Cases
Given its full compliance with safety standards for all ages, the Zippie Giraffe is an ideal choice for nursery branding, primary school leavers' gifts, or as a commemorative item for birth announcements. It also serves as an effective and memorable promotional tool for businesses looking to offer a high-quality gift that stands out from standard corporate merchandise.

Practical Advice
When designing for the Zippie Giraffe, we recommend utilizing the full 17 x 19.5cm space to ensure your logo or message is clearly legible. To maintain the safety profile of the item, it is essential to remove all hang tags and their fasteners before giving the toy to a child.
Caring for your product
To preserve the integrity of the soft plush fabric and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend cleaning this item by hand. Hand washing ensures that the delicate fibres of the mane and the structural integrity of the zip are not compromised by the aggressive agitation of a washing machine.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will cause the colours of the giraffe print to fade and may damage the synthetic polyester fibres. For the best results, allow the item to air dry naturally; excessive heat from a tumble dryer can singe the plush surface and cause permanent damage to printed or embroidered designs.
