SILICONE TOPPERS
The personalised silicone toppers are flexible and soft figures designed to be placed on pencils and pens. Made from safe, toxin-free silicone, they are a perfect option for children’s, educational, or family campaigns where safety is as important as the design.
Silicone offers a pleasant, durable texture that is easy to clean, making it an ideal alternative to PVC in projects where the product will be handled by young children. Unlike other materials, it does not splinter, break, or lose shape with use.
At Mr. Crafty Bear, we produce toppers in moulded silicone, soft-touch or food-grade silicone, adapting the material according to the campaign type. It’s possible to create flat designs with relief, semi-volumetric or full volumetric figures without compromising user safety.
These toppers are especially popular in schools, publishing houses, museums, children’s brands, paediatric clinics, institutional programmes, bookstores, educational campaigns and NGOs, as they combine creativity with responsibility.
Furthermore, silicone allows for toppers with their own personality: animals, fruits, characters, icons, soft logos, kawaii figures or themed symbols. Their flexibility and bright colours make them highly attractive items, perfect for collecting or gifting.
They are also a very useful option in campaigns related to health, hygiene, wellbeing, positive sexualisation of the educational environment, neurodiversity, inclusion, or emotional values, as their soft and safe touch inspires trust.
A silicone topper turns a common pencil into a safe, tactile object full of personality.

Advantages of personalised silicone toppers
Personalised silicone toppers offer unique advantages over other materials like PVC or resin, especially in environments where safety, flexibility, and durability are priorities. Their soft texture, free of hard edges, makes them the best choice for children’s or educational campaigns.
One of their main advantages is that silicone is a hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and safe material, allowing these toppers to be used in schools, hospitals, paediatric clinics, and projects with young children without concern.
Its flexibility is another key point: the figure does not break, chip, and withstands bending without damage. This makes them ideal for frequent use or settings where the product may experience impacts or pressure.
Additionally, silicone is pleasant to the touch, which creates a positive sensory experience. Children tend to handle the topper like an anti-stress object, strengthening the emotional bond with the brand.
Another important advantage is that silicone is easy to clean, resists moisture, and does not absorb odours, which is essential in school supplies and promotional materials reused by multiple people.
In terms of design, silicone toppers allow for vibrant colours, smooth shapes, rounded details, and soft-touch finishes that give a premium feel without losing functionality. It’s also possible to incorporate embossed or simplified volumes.
Finally, this material conveys values of care, safety, and inclusion, which is ideal for educational, institutional or health campaigns, where the product must communicate responsibility besides creativity.
A campaign with silicone toppers not only stands out: it inspires confidence.
Types of personalised silicone toppers and available materials
Personalised silicone toppers can be adapted to different styles and complexity levels based on the project, target audience, and brand aesthetics. Silicone offers enormous versatility in shapes and great creative freedom without compromising safety or durability.
The most common format is the 2D silicone topper with relief, where the design is presented flat but with layers and contours that provide visual volume. It’s ideal for logos, simple icons, minimalist characters, and educational messages.
For more elaborate designs, there’s the semi-volumetric topper, which maintains a flat base but incorporates raised areas like ears, eyes, limbs, or decorative elements. It’s a very attractive intermediate option for animals, fruits, emojis, or corporate mascots.
It’s also possible to manufacture 3D silicone toppers, with a full shape similar to a mini-figure. Soft, flexible, and with actual volume, this version has great appeal for collectibles, children’s campaigns, and retail products.
Silicone allows for a wide range of bright colours, pastel tones, or corporate palettes, always using safe pigments. It is also possible to use food-safe or child-safe inks.
In terms of personalisation, reliefs, smooth textures, rounded shapes, low or high relief details, and even perforated areas or kawaii effects can be added. The design can include an integrated logo, brand name, or a character with silicone-adapted elements.
Toppers can be manufactured as a single piece or as a themed collection, ideal for gamification, seasonal campaigns, educational packs, or creative promotions.
Silicone allows designing toppers with style and safety without sacrificing personalisation.
Applications and uses of personalised silicone toppers
The personalised silicone toppers are particularly useful in environments where conveying safety, closeness, and positive values is important. Their soft texture, friendly design, and flexibility make them a key tool for educational projects, institutional campaigns, and children’s branding.
In schools, they are used as motivational resources, reinforcement awards, educational materials, elements to encourage reading, gamification tools, or complements for creative activities. Their pleasant feel makes children want to use and keep them.
They also work very well in paediatric clinics, children’s hospitals, or care centres where a silicone topper can reduce stress, provide a positive experience, and become a comforting small gift for the child.
In institutional or public health projects, these toppers can communicate healthy habits, road safety, recycling, prevention, or social values using children’s characters or thematic icons, reinforcing the message in a non-invasive way.
In marketing, they are an ideal option for family brands, children’s publishers, bookshops, museums, nurseries, child well-being products, and social responsibility campaigns where the material must be safe and convey trust.
Furthermore, thanks to their durability and flexibility, silicone toppers also perform well at events, children’s fairs, school packs, themed collectables, and merchandise for sensitive audiences that require a pleasant and non-rigid product.
Silicone enables emotions and values to be communicated through a small but significant object. A soft topper can make a big difference in the user experience.
How to design an effective personalised silicone topper for your brand
Designing a personalised silicone topper requires combining creativity with safety, ergonomics, and functionality criteria. The objective is not only to create an attractive figure but also a comfortable, durable product suitable for its final audience, especially if it is aimed at children.
The first step is defining the visual concept. It can be a character, an animal, an educational icon, a logo, or an object reduced to a cute shape. The important thing is that the figure is recognisable even without text.
When working with silicone, it is advisable to use rounded shapes and simplified details as the material deforms slightly and needs stability. Designing thin or very sharp elements can affect the final result.
The choice of format will depend on the objective: flat design with relief for something economical and lightweight, semi-volumetric format to add depth, or full 3D topper for a more collectable look.
Colours should be chosen considering emotional communication. Pastel palettes convey softness, while saturated tones work well in educational projects. Silicone allows for intense colours, corporate tones, and child-safe combinations.
Size and weight are also key: a topper should be comfortable to use, flexible, and not too large so as not to hinder writing. The recommended height is usually between 3 and 5 cm.
If the product is part of a campaign with an emotional reinforcement, it can be designed as a thematic collection, with several models that encourage interaction, exchange, or gamification.
A well-designed silicone topper does more than just decorate: it conveys closeness, safety, and joy.
Personalised silicone toppers, safety, design, and emotions in one product
Personalised silicone toppers are the perfect choice when a project requires a product that is safe, soft to the touch, and visually appealing. Their flexible, durable, and non-toxic material makes them an ideal tool for children’s, educational, and branding campaigns with a responsible focus.
Silicone allows for the design of characters, animals, icons, logos, and themed figures that not only decorate the pencil or pen but also become an element of affection and emotional connection with the user. The product feels great in hand, is used with confidence, and lasts for a long time.
We produce toppers in moulded silicone in 2D, semi-volumetric, or full 3D format, tailored to any graphic style. We can develop cartoon, kawaii, minimalist, thematic, or educational designs, always with safe materials intended for the end user.
This type of topper is ideal for schools, publishers, museums, bookshops, paediatric clinics, NGOs, family events, children’s brands, institutional campaigns, inclusive projects, and retail products that need to convey positive values without compromising aesthetics.
Unlike rigid or conventional promotional items, a silicone topper does not break, does not cause harm, and does not generate rejection. It conveys care, closeness, and attention to detail.
A soft topper may seem small, but its emotional and educational impact is huge.
