How to separate member and venue SKUs
Use one SKU sheet to organize member colors, outfit variants, venue-limited versions, sets, and EC-versus-venue packaging.

|---|---|---|
| Member SKU | Color, outfit, expression, and tag differences | List quantity gap, barcode, backing card, and venue inventory. |
| Tour venue SKU | Venue-limited items, date split, regional cartons | Confirm delivery address, arrival date, carton label, and reserve stock. |
| Set sales SKU | Full-member set, pair set, box, bonus item | Confirm set assembly, outer packaging, barcode, and inventory name. |
| EC sales SKU | Online stock, pre-order, repeat batch | Confirm warehouse label, product registration name, individual packing, and shipment unit. |

Review eye, eyebrow, mouth, hair-part placement, and embroidery-thread color.
Share body and costume construction while controlling hair, color, and added outfit parts by SKU.

Align backing card, barcode, product name, and venue label to reduce picking errors.

Match expression, sewing, thread trimming, outfit parts, tags, and individual packing to the approved sample.
Define final metal-detector or needle-detection conditions according to the project and sales requirements.
Check the combination of member, backing card, barcode, venue label, and carton marking.

Custom idol and live merch plush OEM workflow
When show dates are fixed, plan backward from venue split-delivery and packaging-data deadlines.
Confirm member count, SKUs, quantity, show dates, and destinations.
Organize member quantities, packaging, split delivery, and QC.
Review and revise expression, embroidery, outfit, and member colors.
Check appearance, sewing, SKUs, packing, and metal control.
Separate venue and EC cartons for each required arrival date.
Risks to control before mass production
Live merch has fixed selling dates and stock movement, so SKU, packaging, and delivery mismatches should be caught early.
Weak carton labels or SKU sheets can cause stock for one venue to mix with another.
Similar backing cards or labels increase picking mistakes during event sales.
Fabric, embroidery thread, ribbon, and tag color should be checked together at sample stage.
Tour opening dates, added venues, and EC shipment need a clear split-delivery plan.

Undecided items are acceptable. The more information available, the easier it is to compare specifications, cost, schedule, and packaging.

Frequently asked questions
Can member-specific plush be produced in small lots?

Can you support split delivery by national tour venue?
Depending on specification and quantity, organize venue, show date, arrival date, destination, SKU quantity, carton markings, and reserve stock before quotation.
How accurately can member colors and outfit variants be reproduced?
Review fabric, embroidery thread, ribbon, print, and costume parts during sampling. Three-view artwork, color codes, and outfit photos make variant control more precise.
Can you handle a short schedule close to the concert date?
Feasibility depends on quantity, materials, sample revisions, and packaging-data readiness. Share the show date, warehouse intake date, and venue arrival date for a realistic schedule review.
Can a venue-limited version and standard version be produced together?
Yes. Separate common specifications from changed parts, then control the SKU sheet, backing card, barcode, venue label, and carton markings.
Can EC and venue sales use different packaging?
Depending on the project, separate EC individual packing and warehouse labels from venue backing cards, sales labels, and cartons.

NDA terms, authorized contacts, file access, storage scope, and production photo reviews can be organized project by project.
What should we prepare before quotation?
Share front, side, and back artwork, member count, target size, SKUs, quantities, packaging, tour dates, destinations, and requested timing. Undecided details can be organized from the sales plan.
