How to Turn a Sketch into a Custom Squishy Toy

Ten stages from your idea to a shipped, retail-ready squishy — and what happens at each one.

02 THE WORKFLOW

One process,
ten checkpoints.

Each stage is confirmed against your brief and signed off before the next — you never lose sight of the concept.

03 WHERE TIME GOES

Prototype and sample approval take the longest.

Mold and sample revision rounds are where most custom projects spend their time.

A new shape goes through tooling and prototype rounds before the sample is signed off — this is the longest stage and is project dependent. The payoff is a product that belongs to your brand, not a catalog item. Start a custom squishy development with your sketch and target cost.
