How do your unstuffed animals close?

The Bear Factory holds the United Stated patent for the locking zipper closure. Since 2002 we have been using this closure which utilizes a zipper with the string attached to the zipper head that is removed after stuffing is completed. This allows the zipper head to lock and secure the animal so children cannot open the back of the animal. We also have a fabric material that covers each side of the velcro closure so any customers that stuffs by hand will not have fiber get into the velcro closure.
