Zhi Ma Kai Hua means “sesame blossoms, rising higher and higher.” It is how we work with every brand — one small figure at a time, until the whole collection is standing on the shelf.
Suzhou Industrial Park
Jiangsu, China · 18,000 m² facility
Our own mold shop cuts and reworks tooling on site, so sample changes take days instead of weeks.
Repeat molds start at 500 pieces per SKU — small enough for a first drop, structured for reorders.
EN71, ASTM and CPSIA testing, retail-ready cartons and full export documents handled by our team.

Not sure which one?
Send us your reference images and target retail price. We will tell you honestly what is possible at your volume.
Compare servicesYou own the artwork. We own the process.
Send us your sculpt, tech pack or reference sample and we take it through tooling, molding, painting, assembly and export packing with strict color matching.
Start with a concept, leave with a shelf-ready line.
Our in-house illustrators and sculptors develop characters, chase ratios, packaging and gift logic from a single brief, then produce it in the same building.
How We Work
One project manager follows your series through every stage, with photo and video approval at each milestone so nothing is decided without you.
Share reference images, target price, quantity and launch date. You receive a costed proposal within 24 hours.
Illustrators and sculptors turn the brief into turnarounds and a printable 3D model, revised until approved.
A physical prototype is printed, hand-painted and photographed. Paint masks and joints are tuned in this round.
Production molds are cut and validated. First-article samples confirm fit, color and finish before mass production.
Injection, airbrushing, assembly and packing run with in-line checks, then AQL 2.5 final inspection.
Blind box sealing, carton labeling, container loading photos and full export documentation handled in-house.

Client Voices
We had a 12-character series and only eight weeks. Zhi Ma Kai Hua handled sculpting, tooling and packaging in one flow and shipped on the exact date we needed for our spring drop.
Amelie Roux
Founder, Maison Petit · Paris, France
The color matching is the best we have had from a Chinese factory. Our brand palette is very specific, and they held it across three reorders without drift.
Daniel Okafor
Head of Product, Tiny Atlas · London, UK
Their team proposed a modular body system that let us release four seasonal outfits on the same mold. It cut our tooling budget nearly in half.

Buyer Questions
Still unsure about MOQ, tooling cost or lead time? Write to us with your quantities and we will reply with a real number, not a range.
hello@zhimakaihua.comFor a new blind box series with new tooling, we recommend 2,000 pieces per figure. If you already have molds or work from our existing body library, orders can start at 500 pieces per SKU. Mixed assortments across a series are welcome.
A typical new series takes 10–14 weeks: about 2 weeks for concept and 3D sculpting, 2–3 weeks for physical prototyping, 2 weeks for tooling, and 4–6 weeks for bulk production plus sea freight. Repeat orders usually ship in 25–35 days.
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before receiving any artwork or tech pack, and we never show a client's unreleased design in our portfolio without written permission.
Packaging is done in-house: blind box cartons, foil bags, display trays, counter units and export cartons. We also build the assortment ratios, secret-figure logic and duplicate control into your packing plan.
We regularly test to EN71 (EU), ASTM F963 and CPSIA (US), plus GB6675 for the domestic market. Test reports from SGS, Intertek or TÜV can be issued before shipment.
Standard terms are 30% deposit and 70% before shipment, with T/T or Alibaba Trade Assurance. We ship FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, and can quote CIF, DDP or air express for smaller launches.
