How an IP Program Works

1. Brief — Share the IP, target markets and product format (surprise egg, dip cup, gummy, etc.).
2. Design & prototyping — Character artwork adaptation, toy mold development and pre-production samples.
3. Licensor approval — We prepare submission packages and iterate until your licensor signs off.
4. Mass production — Production scheduling confirmed after final approval; lead time TBD per program.
5. QC & shipment — In-line QC, pre-shipment inspection and export documentation.

FAQ

Do you have experience with licensed characters?

Yes. We develop custom toy series and licensed packaging artwork, and manage the licensor approval workflow as part of the program.

Who owns the molds?

Tooling terms are agreed per program — typically the client owns character-specific molds after the agreed production volume.

What is the MOQ for an IP program?

TBD — MOQ depends on the character program, product format and design count. Share your brief and we will structure it.

How long does licensor approval take?

TBD — it varies by licensor. We run approval preparation in parallel with tooling to save time.

Can you keep my IP confidential?

Yes — NDAs are standard before we receive any licensed artwork.
