Detailed Description
Plush strip twist sticks, also commonly known as plush strips or plush twist sticks, are a globally recognized basic material for creative crafts. The product features a composite structure with an inner metal wire core and an outer layer of polyester plush. Its core technology is based on using a highly resilient metal wire as the shaping skeleton, which offers excellent bendability and plasticity; even after repeated twisting, bending, and coiling, it remains resistant to breakage and retains its shape. The outer layer is wrapped in high-density polyester fiber plush, providing strong adhesion, preventing shedding, and delivering a soft, smooth texture that balances comfort with aesthetic appeal.
The product is manufactured in strict compliance with the EU EN71-3 heavy metal testing standard for toys and the U.S. ASTM F963 toy safety standard, rigorously controlling the migration of harmful heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. It is free from odors and toxic additives, with environmentally friendly management throughout the entire production process—from raw materials to finished products—ensuring safe, worry-free use even when children handle or play with it closely. In terms of color performance, the dyes exhibit strong adhesion; even after multiple bends, rubs, and washes, the colors remain vibrant and resistant to fading, demonstrating excellent colorfastness. Standard product specifications are extensive, offering a wide range of sizes and hundreds of color options, including basic solid colors, fluorescent hues, and mixed shades, meeting diverse personalized needs for crafting and decorative applications, making it an exceptionally versatile foundational consumable in the craft industry.
