Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie lion is a technically proficient soft toy designed with customisation at its core. Constructed from a soft 100% polyester plush, this item serves as a versatile promotional or commemorative canvas. The standout feature is the large, dedicated white panel on the tummy, which has been specifically engineered to provide a smooth, flat surface for high-quality branding. With contrast features including a mane, tail, nose, and horns, it offers a professional appearance that stands out in any setting.
Key Features
- Integrated zip access at the base of the toy provides direct access to the tummy panel, allowing for a cleaner embroidery finish and easier placement on machinery.
- The removable inner stuffing allows the outer shell to be flattened, which is essential for ensuring precision when applying printed or sublimated designs.
- Compliance with EN71 European Toy Safety regulations ensures the product is safe for all users, including infants, providing peace of mind for corporate gifting.
- Sewn eyes and mouth details eliminate small parts, reinforcing the safety profile and durability of the toy's design.
Design & Performance
This plush lion is a well-engineered garment in the soft toy category, prioritising both tactile quality and customisation performance. The use of 100% polyester plush ensures the item is lightweight yet substantial enough to maintain its shape after handling. The design includes contrast feet and a furry mane that add to its professional aesthetic without interfering with the primary decoration zone.
Measuring 42cm, it is a significant size for visibility. The fabric has been selected for its compatibility with various heat-press and needle-work techniques, ensuring that logos and slogans remain sharp and do not become lost in the pile of the fabric.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Zippie lion is a rare example of a soft toy that excels in both print and embroidery applications. The hidden zip at the base allows our team to frame the fabric directly, ensuring that embroidery backings are tucked away inside the toy, away from the user. This results in a superior finish that is standard for professional branding.
For those requiring vibrant, full-colour graphics, the white tummy panel is ideal for printing and sublimation. Our Telford-based team, established in 1976, manages the entire process in-house, ensuring that the 16 x 18cm print area is utilised to its full potential for maximum brand impact.
Use Cases
This item is particularly effective for corporate mascots, where a personable brand image is required. It is also frequently utilised for milestone celebrations, such as newborn gifts or school leaver mementos, where personalised text needs to be the central focus. Its safety certifications make it a reliable choice for charities and educational organisations.

Practical Advice
The lion is a one-size item with a height of approximately 42cm. For safety, please ensure that all hang tags and plastic fasteners are removed before the item is given to a child. The removable stuffing also makes it easier to clean the outer shell should it be required.
Caring for your product
To maintain the soft texture of the plush and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend that this product is hand washed only. Machine washing can cause the polyester fibres to matt and may damage the internal zip mechanism.Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will degrade the fabric and cause the colours in the mane and tail to fade. After washing, the item should be allowed to air dry naturally; tumble drying should be avoided to prevent heat damage to any printed elements and the plush pile.
