plastinlägg


Explanation:
Huvudordet här är ju 'stiffener' som är ett slags inlägg i det uppstoppade djuret för att det inte skall falla ihop. 'Plastic 'är en bestämning till 'stiffener' vilket talar om för oss att inlägget är av plast. I detta fallet är inlägget tillverkat av hårdplast, vilket inte är nödvändigt att förtydliga, eftersom mjuk plast inte skulle ha fungerat här.
