Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie football is a well-engineered soft toy designed for gifting and promotional purposes. Combining the classic appeal of a football with the tactile comfort of a plush toy, this item is specifically constructed to facilitate professional branding. The inclusion of a discreet zip access point and a removable inner stuffing pad distinguishes this product from standard soft toys, as it allow for superior access for customisation machinery.
Key Features
- Integrated zip access with a removable inner stuffing pad provides direct access to the fabric for high-quality customisation.
- Compliance with EN071 European Toy Safety regulations ensures the product is safe for all ages, from infants to adults.
- The 100% polyester plush fabric provides a soft, professional finish that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
- Ethically sourced and manufactured, carrying both Amfori BSCI and SEDEX accreditations for responsible production.
Design & Performance
The Zippie football is constructed from a high-quality polyester plush that provides a substantial, soft feel. With a diameter of 20cm and a circumference of 63cm, it offers a significant surface area for decoration. The design prioritises ease of use for the decorator; by removing the inner pad, the outer shell can be placed flat, ensuring that the branding is applied accurately without the interference of the toy's volume. This results in a superior finish that remains consistent across large orders.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is particularly well-suited for embroidery. The Zippie access allows the embroidery frame to be attached directly to the outer plush layer, ensuring the backing is hidden inside the toy once the stuffing is replaced. This creates a clean, professional appearance suitable for names, club crests, or corporate logos. While embroidery is the primary recommendation for this fabric type, the item is also capable of supporting printed designs for bold, high-impact visuals.

Practical Advice
To ensure the safety of the end-user, it is essential to remove all hang tags and their plastic fasteners before giving this item to a child. The 20cm diameter makes this a medium-sized plush toy that is easy to handle and display. When planning your design, consider that embroidery will provide the most durable and professional-looking result on this specific plush fabric.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the plush fabric and the quality of your custom branding, we recommend that this item is hand washed only. Machine washing can cause the polyester fibres to matt and may distort the shape of the football.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive cleaning agents, as these can damage the fabric and cause embroidery threads to fade. Always allow the item to air dry naturally; high heat from tumble dryers or radiators can damage the synthetic fibres and the internal components of the toy.
