Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie Kangaroo (MM575) is a sophisticated promotional soft toy engineered with customisation in mind. Unlike standard plush toys, this kangaroo features a dedicated white tummy panel constructed with a flatter pile, specifically designed to provide a smooth and stable surface for high-quality branding. This medium-weight plush item is as functional as it is charming, featuring contrast detailing on the nose, inner ears, and feet that adds a premium aesthetic. It is a well-engineered garment for the promotional sector, ensuring that your company logo or message is presented with clarity and professional authority.
Key Features
- Integrated zip access at the base allows for the removal of internal stuffing, enabling the toy to be laid flat for direct decoration.
- The white tummy panel uses a shorter pile fabric, which ensures that embroidery does not get lost in the plush and print adheres securely.
- Fully compliant with EN71 European Toy Safety regulations, making it a safe and reliable choice for brands targeting all age groups.
- Contrast fabric on the ears and feet provides a distinctive look that elevates the product's overall quality and visual appeal.
Design & Performance
Crafted from 100% polyester, the Zippie Kangaroo is designed to withstand the rigours of both the decoration process and everyday handling. The fabric is soft yet durable, maintaining its shape even after the internal stuffing has been removed and replaced multiple times. The use of sewn eyes and mouth ensures there are no small plastic parts, contributing to its safety profile and providing a classic finish that suits both traditional and modern branding.
The performance of this item is centred on its versatility as a medium for decoration. The zip-access system is a practical inclusion that allows professional decorators to achieve a level of precision that is simply not possible with standard stuffed animals. This design ensures that the finished product looks like a bespoke creation rather than an after-thought.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is exceptionally well-suited for both embroidery and various printing techniques. For those seeking a professional and permanent finish, embroidery is highly recommended. The flat-pile tummy ensures that the stitching remains crisp and visible, making it perfect for corporate logos or individual names.
For larger or more complex multicolour designs, the white panel serves as an ideal canvas for vinyl or sublimation printing. This allows for vibrant graphics that stand out clearly against the neutral background. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, manages the entire customisation process, ensuring that every kangaroo we produce meet our high standards of craftsmanship.
Use Cases
The Mumbles Zippie Kangaroo is an ideal choice for businesses looking to create a memorable brand mascot. It is frequently utilised by schools, charities, and childcare providers as a commemorative gift or promotional tool. Its safety certification for all ages also makes it a superior choice for corporate gifting where families are the primary audience, ensuring your brand is associated with quality and safety.

Practical Advice
When selecting your design, ensure the central elements are positioned to take full advantage of the flat white panel on the tummy. For the safety of the recipient, it is essential to remove all hang tags and their plastic fasteners before giving this item to a child. While the stuffing is removable, ensure it is repositioned correctly after decoration to maintain the kangaroo's upright stance.
Caring for your product
To preserve the appearance and soft texture of the polyester plush, we recommend that this product is hand washed only. Hand washing prevents the mechanical stress of a machine cycle from flattening the pile or causing the internal structure to become misshapen.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the synthetic fibres and cause the custom colours of your print or embroidery to fade. It is also important to air dry the item naturally; high heat from tumble dryers or irons can singe the polyester and may cause printed designs to warp or peel. Ensuring the toy is completely dry before re-stuffing will help maintain the integrity of the material and keep the product in top condition.
