Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie Teddy (MM051) is a technically refined plush toy designed specifically to meet the needs of the promotional and gifting sectors. Unlike standard soft toys, this medium-weight polyester bear features a clever zip-access base, which allows the inner stuffing to be removed. This creates a flat, accessible surface for high-quality branding. The bear is finished in a professional mid-brown plush with contrasting light brown panels on the chest and feet, providing a neutral yet premium aesthetic suitable for a wide range of corporate identities.
Key Features
EN71 European Toy Safety Compliance: This ensures the product meets all legal safety requirements, providing peace of mind for businesses distributing gifts to children of all ages.
Zip-Access System: The base of the bear features a discreet zip, allowing for the temporary removal of stuffing to facilitate direct-to-garment printing or embroidery.
Sewn Eye Detail: By opting for sewn eyes rather than plastic components, the bear maintains a higher safety profile while providing a classic, traditional appearance.
Versatile 45cm Size: A substantial size that ensures your brand is clearly visible and the gift feels of significant value to the recipient.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester plush, this bear is designed for both tactile appeal and durability. The fabric is specifically chosen for its ability to hold detailed embroidery stitches without excessive puckering, a common issue with lower-quality plush materials. The light-coloured chest panel serves as a high-contrast canvas, ensuring that logos and text remain legible and vibrant. The internal design is robust, with removable stuffing pods that allow the bear to regain its shape perfectly after the customisation process is complete.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The MM051 is a specialist item for branding. The 15 x 15cm print area on the chest is ideally suited for sublimation printing, allowing for full-colour, complex designs that become part of the fabric itself. This is a superior choice for detailed photographic logos or vibrant event branding.
For those seeking a more traditional and prestigious finish, embroidery is highly recommended. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, uses professional-grade machinery to ensure names or corporate logos are applied with precision. The zip-access feature means the embroidery backing is tucked away inside the bear, ensuring a clean, retail-quality finish that looks professional from every angle.
Use Cases
This bear is an excellent tool for corporate gifting, charity fundraisers, or as a commemorative item for nurseries and schools. Its compliance with safety standards makes it a versatile asset for any organisation looking to create a personable and safe brand touchpoint for families and children.

Practical Advice
Safety is paramount; please ensure all hang tags and plastic fasteners are removed before the item is handled by a child. When designing your artwork, we suggest centralising designs within the 15 x 15cm chest area to account for the natural curvature of the bear when it is in a seated position.
Caring for your product
To maintain the soft handle of the polyester plush and the clarity of your custom branding, we recommend that this bear is hand washed only. Machine washing can cause the plush fibres to lose their soft texture and may lead to the distortion of the bear's shape over time.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive detergents, as these chemicals can strip the colour from the fabric and degrade the quality of the print or embroidery. The bear should always be allowed to air dry naturally; high-heat drying methods can damage the synthetic fibres and potentially melt or peel printed elements.
