Our Process
Our Process
1: Design
Each puppet begins as an idea. Our designers create concept sketches for new characters, then refine those sketches into a final design.
2: Prototyping
Our expert puppet builder and toy designer then take the approved character design and begins building prototypes. Our designers usually go through 2-4 prototypes before the final design is approved. Key elements our designers focus on when developing prototypes are: Functionality,Looks & Safety.
3: Manufacturing
Once the final prototype is approved our overseas manufacturing team begins fabricating each puppet by hand. Our puppets are not built by machines but rather expertly trained craftspeople.
4: Testing
Safety is a top priority at Puppet Pals. After manufacturing is completed, random puppet samples are sent to a safety testing lab to undergo CPSC testing to meet safety guidelines.
5: Delivery
Once testing our 3rd party testing lab has approved the batch of puppets, they are then shipped out to our US warehouse, and then delivered to you!
