IP Merchandise Development from Artwork to Product Range

We help IP owners and brand teams decide which parts of a character should become plush, acrylic, pins, cards or packaging: and how those products should still look like one family.

01

Start with rights and usable artwork

Before product work, the buyer confirms ownership or production authorization and supplies the usable character files. Front, side and back views, color references and protected details reduce interpretation errors.

02

Build a product range, not random items

We assign each idea to the medium that reproduces it best. Soft volume may suit plush; fine outlines may work better in acrylic or print; small graphic symbols may suit pins or cards.

03

Adapt artwork by production method

One master drawing cannot be sent unchanged to every supplier. Plush needs pattern and embroidery decisions, acrylic needs cut lines and print layers, metal needs line-width and plating decisions, and packaging needs bleed and barcode space.

04

Approve samples and cross-product consistency

Samples are reviewed for expression, proportion, Pantone reference, scale and attachment details. A range review then checks whether colors, logo placement and naming remain consistent across products.

05

Plan packaging as part of the launch

Backing cards, hang tags, inner bags, gift boxes and shipping cartons are chosen according to retail channel, event use, protection and destination requirements.

Range control

How we plan an IP range without exposing the customer or the protected artwork

An IP project does not need a public customer name or a full case story to have a useful production method. We can explain the decisions without publishing protected characters, contract terms, order quantities or launch results. The working record stays inside the project; the public page describes the control logic.

One source of truth for character identity

We begin with the current authorized character source and a short list of protected features: expression, color blocks, logo treatment, names and details that cannot be simplified. Product teams then work from controlled derivatives instead of downloading different screenshots from chat.

A range matrix for products and SKUs

Each product line records its SKU, artwork version, quantity range, target size, sample status, packaging and approval owner. A collection-level row records shared colors, launch priority and delivery date. This lets plush, acrylic, pins and printed goods move at different speeds without losing the common IP rules.

Evidence that can be shared safely

When confidentiality applies, approvals can use cropped detail views, material swatches, coded SKU references and versioned sample records. Public content can discuss the production question: such as keeping a character expression consistent across plush and acrylic: without identifying the customer or reproducing protected files. AIYYANG does not infer endorsements or sales performance from product photographs.

For an initial range review, send the authorization context, current character sheet, candidate products, quantity per SKU, target market, packaging direction and required launch date. Mark any information that must remain confidential so the review and later evidence plan use the correct boundary.

Questions buyers usually ask

Can you develop a range from one character sheet?

Yes, after reviewing usable views, colors, target buyers, quantities and the products planned for launch.

Do all products use the same artwork file?

No. Each production method needs an adapted file and its own approval points.

What should be approved before bulk production?

Approve the product sample, colors, accessories, labels, packaging artwork and final packing method.
