Our sourcing workflow (play & performance edition)

1. Brief & NDA – age grade, markets, bill of materials, artwork, target tests/claims.
   
2. Factory shortlist – capability & audit matrix; initial risk register.
   
3. Sampling – CAD keys/3D prints → PP samples; test plan & labeling matrix.
   
4. Pilot – small batch to validate seams, adhesion, torque/pull, drop & packaging.
   
5. Bulk & QC – in-line QA, AQL, lab tests (heavy metals/phthalates/mech/flammability), needle detection.
   
6. Ship – documentation pack, loading supervision, insurance, and after-sales spares (balls/valves/needles where relevant).
   

Risk controls we enforce

• Chemical & RSL: lead, phthalates, PAHs, AZO, formaldehyde—lot-wise screening.
  
• Mechanical: small-parts/torque/pull & seam strength gates; edge radius checks; strap/handle pull tests.
  
• Plush needle policy: broken-needle logs + metal detection; embroidered eyes preferred for infant SKUs.
  
• Electronics: battery safety (UN 38.3, IEC 62133), charger checks, WPC/ETA for RF; enclosure IP/insulation as required.
  
• Sports: ball sphericity, pressure retention & rebound; bat moisture/weight/handle pull; helmet impact per spec.
  
• Artwork & labels: age grading, warnings, CE/UKCA/CPSIA tracking; barcode verification (ANSI/ISO).
  

Documentation you receive

• Test reports (ASTM/EN/BIS/REACH/CPSIA), RSL declarations, social-audit snapshots, PP approvals, needle-detection logs (plush), performance test sheets (balls/bats/helmets), packing spec & carton map, high-res QC photos/video, loading report, insurance & origin docs.
