Cycling glasses? Cycling glasses (scratch-resistant lenses): lens protection film (scratch-resistant), glasses case (hard-shell); ‘anti-fog, polarised’ selling points are printed on the case. The packaging of the glasses should ensure that ‘the lenses are scratch-free upon opening the case’.
How should helmets be protected? Helmets (outer shell, EPS lining): helmet box / mesh bag + cushioning; the EPS (cushioning layer) is susceptible to damage from pressure (compromising its protective properties) — a ‘Do not crush’ label must be printed; sizes (M/L) are marked on the box. Packaging for helmets must ensure that ‘the box is opened without marks and the EPS is intact’.
What about lights and accessories? Lights (front lights, rear lights): Blister-packed in separate compartments (to prevent impact); batteries (including lithium batteries) must comply with transport regulations; small items such as speedometers and bells should be displayed on hang tags (for shelf display). For the packaging of accessories, the standard is that “upon opening the box, every item must be present”.
What should be noted for export? For cycling equipment exports, labels (material, certifications) and helmets (CE marking) must be verified against the target market’s requirements; compliance documentation for the transport of lithium batteries (for lights) must be complete. For export compliance, verify the standards before placing an order.
Cycling gear is a ‘small but sophisticated’ product category: helmets are susceptible to crushing, bike lights to knocks, and cycling glasses to scratches — the cushioning and presentation of the packaging determine which item customers will pick up from the shelf. This article clearly explains the packaging requirements for cycling gear, providing direct guidance for clients in the sports and outdoor sectors.
How should hanging displays be arranged? For cycling gloves and socks (hanging tags + clear bags): ensure they are suspended on the shelf with clear size labelling; protective gear (knee pads) should be packed in soft, compressible bags. The choice of hanging displays should be determined by the available shelf space.
