Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie Panda is a sophisticated choice for businesses seeking a high-quality, personable promotional item or a unique addition to a retail range. Standing at 34cm tall, this soft toy combines a classic aesthetic with modern functionality. Constructed from a high-grade 100% polyester plush, it offers a soft tactile experience while meeting rigorous safety standards. The design is specifically engineered for ease of decoration, featuring a clever zip access point that allows for seamless branding applications.
Key Features
- Zip Access Design: The base of the panda features a discreet zip which allows the internal tummy pad to be removed. This creates a flat surface for our production team to apply high-quality branding without the distortion often found on standard soft toys.
- Safety Compliant: This item complies with EN71 European Toy Safety regulations, ensuring it is suitable for all ages and safe for distribution in professional environments.
- Sewn Features: The facial features are expertly sewn, providing a durable and safer alternative to plastic components that can become detached over time.
- Substantial Feel: Despite being a soft toy, the Zippie Panda has a reassuring weight and density, suggesting a level of quality that reflects well on any brand it represents.
Design & Performance
The construction of the Zippie Panda focuses on the balance between aesthetics and durability. The 100% polyester plush fabric is chosen for its longevity and resistance to matting, ensuring the toy maintains its appearance even after frequent handling. The internal padding is substantial, providing structure to the toy so it remains upright when displayed. Performance-wise, the most significant design element is the removable inner pad; by separating the outer skin from the stuffing, we can ensure that the customisation process is precise and the finish is professional.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Zippie Panda is specifically designed to accommodate both print and embroidery, making it a versatile canvas for your branding. For a high-quality finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for logos and names. The density of the plush fabric supports intricate needlework, resulting in a three-dimensional effect that conveys professionalism. Alternatively, for larger, more vibrant graphics or complex colourful designs, high-definition printing is available. Our expert team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since 1976, handles all customisation in-house to maintain the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
This item is ideally suited for corporate gifts, charity merchandise, or personalised retail offerings. It is frequently utilised by businesses in the childcare and education sectors, or as a brand mascot for promotional events. Given its compliance with safety regulations, it is an excellent choice for healthcare settings or as a commemorative gift for new parents.

Practical Advice
At 34cm in height, the Zippie Panda is a medium-sized soft toy that fits well on desks or display shelves. Please ensure that all hang tags and fasteners are removed before the item is given to a child. While suitable for all ages, we recommend considering the size of your logo to ensure it remains legible on the curved surface of the panda's white tummy.
Caring for your product
To maintain the soft texture and integrity of the plush fabric, this item should be hand washed only. Machine washing may cause the internal stuffing to clump or the plush fibres to lose their characteristic softness, which can detract from the toy's appearance over time.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the polyester fibres and cause discolouration to your custom embroidery or print. After washing, the panda should be allowed to air dry naturally; do not use a tumble dryer, as the heat can melt or distort the synthetic plush material.
