Meta Description: Discover how wooden toys are made—from initial design sketches to material sourcing, cutting, painting, assembly, quality control, packaging, and delivery. A complete guide to the custom toy manufacturing process.

🧠 Step 1: Product Design & Concept Development

Every great toy begins with a concept. Clients typically share rough sketches, sample photos, or even just ideas. Our design team then develops detailed drawings and 3D renderings that capture the toy’s shape, dimensions, color, and function.

✏️ Pro tip: If you’re launching your own brand, we can help co-develop your toy concepts to meet both safety regulations and production feasibility.

🌲 Step 2: Selecting the Right Wood Material

Not all wood is created equal. We primarily use durable and safe woods such as:

Beech wood: smooth grain, ideal for small parts
Pine wood: lightweight and affordable
Basswood or Rubberwood: sustainable and child-safe

All our materials are FSC-certified and dried to proper moisture levels to avoid cracking or warping.

🔧 Step 3: Cutting, Shaping & CNC Processing

After sourcing the wood, our workshop begins precision cutting using:

CNC routers for accuracy
Laser cutters for fine details
Hand sanding and shaping for a soft touch

Each piece is manually inspected before moving forward to ensure it meets design specs.

🎨 Step 4: Painting, Printing & Finishing

Once the toy pieces are formed, they go through a multi-step finishing process:

Base coating using eco-friendly, water-based paints
Silkscreen printing for logos, illustrations, or educational designs
Final seal coating to protect the toy and create a smooth, matte finish

We only use non-toxic, child-safe paints that pass EN71 and ASTM standards.

🧩 Step 5: Assembly & Functional Testing

Toys with moving parts or multi-piece components (like puzzles or vehicles) are carefully assembled by trained workers.

We perform:

Fit and function tests
Small parts risk assessments
Drop and wear resistance testing

Any unit that doesn’t meet our internal quality benchmarks is discarded or reworked.

✅ Step 6: Quality Control & Safety Certification

Before mass delivery, every production batch is checked by our QC team.

What we check:

Surface finish and color matching
Logo placement and branding
Size, weight, and sharp edges
Compliance with EN71, ASTM F963, CPSIA and others

Upon request, we also work with third-party testing labs to issue formal compliance reports.

📦 Step 7: Packaging & Branding

Packaging plays a big role in brand appeal and retail success. We offer:

Custom printed boxes (kraft paper, window boxes, etc.)
Eco-friendly packaging options
Barcode and SKU labeling
Instruction sheets, user warnings, or gift-ready wrapping

All packaging is designed to be export-compliant and optimized for shipping efficiency.

🚚 Step 8: Shipping & Global Delivery

Once everything passes QC, your wooden toys are securely packed and prepared for shipping.

Options include:

FOB (port of departure)
CIF (with insurance and freight)
DDP (door-to-door with duties paid)

We assist with all logistics documents (bill of lading, packing list, commercial invoice) and help coordinate sea or air shipment according to your preference.
