Your plush toy can do more than look cute
A mascot creates reach, sells merchandise, increases bookings and tells stories. One example: a hotel with 5,000 followers — if 2% buy a €29 mascot, that is €2,900 in revenue, and it is repeatable.
- Create reach instead of wasted coverage
- Sell merchandise · increase bookings
- Ideal for tourism, events, SMEs and creators

Having plush toys made — your questions
What does a custom mascot cost?
Custom plush toys start at €5.90 net per unit (plus VAT, business customers only). The price depends on size, material and quantity; the recommended minimum order is 1,000 units. You receive a no-obligation quotation and a free prototype before the production run.
Why Lindner?
Because we have been making mascots since 1998: over two million mascots produced, more than 3,000 clients, CE and EN71 certification and FAIRPAY. You have one dedicated contact from the first sketch to delivery — and on request we support you beyond that into digital visibility. Ideal for hotels, tourism, clubs, SMEs and creators.
How long does production take?
After the prototype is approved, production typically takes a few weeks depending on quantity. A dedicated contact accompanies your project and confirms every deadline with you.
Are the plush toys safe and certified?
Yes. All products are CE-certified and meet the EU toy standard EN71. Our partner factory manufactures with documented quality assurance and follows the FAIRPAY principle.
Can I receive a sample before I order?
Yes. Before the production run we create a free prototype. Manufacturing only starts once you have approved it — so there are no surprises.
