Empowering Global Brands with Precision, Quality, and Cost-Effective Custom Production

1. Introduction

In recent years, the global market for trend play collectibles has surged, reaching a scale of several hundred billion dollars—with the US and European markets contributing over 35% of that share. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturing hubs such as Dongguan and Huizhou have emerged as leaders in custom IP prop production, thanks to their mature supply chains, superb craftsmanship, and competitive cost advantages.

huizhou EVHooL stands at the forefront of this industry, offering an internationally certified production system supported by a “Dual Quality Inspection Team” that meets both domestic and overseas standards. Our one-stop solution—from creative design to mass production—has empowered top brands to succeed in global markets.

This guide details our comprehensive process for custom trend play IP prop production, using successful collaborations with brands such as B.DUCK and Three Squirrels as case studies. Read on to discover how we achieve high-quality, cost-effective custom production tailored for the global market.

2. Design Phase: From Concept to 3D Prototype

2.1 IP Planning & Authorization

• Unique IP Creation:
  Every successful trend play product begins with a distinctive, market-recognizable IP.
• Legal Assurance:
  At the outset, our team collaborates closely with brand partners to secure all necessary design authorizations.
• Case in Point:
  In a B.DUCK collaboration, detailed licensing agreements clearly define the product’s visual identity, design style, and copyright—laying a strong foundation for the project.

2.2 Creative Design & 3D Modeling

• Concept to Sketch:
  Our creative team transforms innovative ideas into detailed sketches.
• Digital Precision:
  Utilizing professional 3D modeling software like ZBrush and Blender, we create high-precision digital models with a tolerance as fine as 0.1mm.
• Iterative Prototyping:
  Multiple rounds of prototyping and refinement ensure every detail is perfect, setting the stage for high-quality mold production.

3. Production Phase: Precision Molding & High-Quality Manufacturing

3.1 Mold Making & Process Preparation

• High-Precision Molds:
  Once the 3D prototype is finalized, huizhou EVHooL employs advanced CNC machining to create molds that guarantee uniformity in every product.
• Hybrid Production Approach:
  We integrate automated production lines with skilled manual finishing to enhance efficiency and product yield.

3.2 Material Selection & Process Standards

• Safety & Compliance:
  Our material selection adheres strictly to international standards such as the EU’s REACH and the US ASTM F963.
• Premium Materials:
  We use food-grade silicone, eco-friendly PVC, and ASA resin—ensuring harmful substances (like phthalates) remain below 0.1%.
• Optimized Processes:
  Our injection molding, painting, and assembly techniques maintain aesthetic appeal while boosting durability and user experience.

3.3 Mass Production & Quality Monitoring

• Automated & Manual Control:
  In mass production, a blend of automation and meticulous manual quality control ensures assembly tolerances within ±0.05mm.
• Comprehensive Testing:
  Every batch undergoes rigorous inspections—including visual, dimensional, and functional checks—plus safety assessments (e.g., formaldehyde emission tests ≤1.5mg/m³ and dynamic component precision tests).
