Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie Highland Cow (MM565) is a professionally engineered plush toy designed specifically for high-quality customisation. This charming character features a distinctive contrast nose, horns, mane, and tail, providing a premium aesthetic that appeals to all ages. Unlike standard soft toys, the Zippie range is built with a functional white panel on the stomach, which serves as a dedicated canvas for branding or personalisation. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses looking for a unique promotional item or for individuals seeking a bespoke gift that meets rigorous safety standards.
Key Features
The integrated zip access at the base allows for the removal of internal stuffing, providing a flat surface for direct and precise decoration on the tummy panel.
Full compliance with EN71 European Toy Safety regulations ensures the product is safe for recipients of all ages, including infants from birth.
Sewn eyes and mouth features eliminate the risk of small parts detaching, maintaining high safety standards while providing a classic, friendly appearance.
The 100% polyester plush fabric offers a soft tactile feel while remaining durable enough to withstand regular handling.
Design & Performance
The MM565 is designed with both the end-user and the decorator in mind. The substantial, soft-touch polyester plush provides a high-quality feel that reflects well on any associated brand. From a technical perspective, the inclusion of a removable inner stuffing pod is essential for high-quality embroidery and printing; it prevents the "bunching" or distortion often found when decorating pre-stuffed items. This design choice ensures that even intricate logos or detailed prints sit perfectly flat against the fabric. The contrast elements—such as the horns and mane—are securely attached, ensuring the toy maintains its structural integrity over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is exceptionally versatile regarding customisation. Embroidery is highly recommended for creating a sophisticated, professional appearance with a high-texture finish, perfect for names or detailed corporate logos. The plush fabric is sturdy enough to support dense stitch counts without losing its shape. For those requiring large, vibrant designs or full-colour imagery, the white stomach panel is perfectly suited for print techniques, including vinyl, flock, and sublimation. Sublimation is particularly effective here, as it allows the ink to bond directly with the polyester fibres for a finish that is soft to the touch and resistant to fading. Our expert in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your design is executed with precision.
Use Cases
The Zippie Highland Cow is a versatile asset for various sectors. It serves as an excellent corporate mascot for agricultural or heritage-based businesses, a memorable promotional giveaway at trade shows, or a high-quality retail item for souvenir shops. Furthermore, its birth-safe certification makes it a premier choice for personalised newborn gifts and nursery decor.

Practical Advice
The Highland Cow stands at approximately 35cm, providing a significant presence for any branded message. When designing your customisation, we suggest centralising the artwork on the white stomach panel to ensure maximum visibility. Before giving this item to a child, please ensure all hang tags and fasteners are removed as per safety guidelines.
Caring for your product
To preserve the plush texture and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend that this product is hand washed only. Machine washing can lead to the matting of the synthetic fibres and may cause mechanical stress to any embroidered or printed details.
After washing, the item should be allowed to air dry naturally. Avoid the use of tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the polyester plush and may cause heat-applied prints to peel or lose their adhesion. Ensuring the inner stuffing is completely dry before re-inserting it will help maintain the toy's shape and prevent any internal moisture issues.
