Cycling accessories specs & selection guide materials, logo methods, packaging, MOQ and compliance

• EPS (expanded polystyrene) — the energy-absorbing liner in most bike helmets; density chosen per model. EPP is a more resilient foam used in some multi-sport helmets.
• PC (polycarbonate) — thin helmet shells fused in-mold; tough light housings and mirror lenses.
• ABS — thicker hard-shell helmet shells; housings for lights, mounts and lock covers.
• Alloy and hardened steel — lock shackles, chains and plates; floor-pump barrels; bell domes. Grade and heat treatment are specified per SKU.
• Aluminum — pump barrels, bells, light housings, racks; anodizable in colors.
• Nylon and polyester fabrics — saddle bags, chain sleeves, covers (e.g. 190T taffeta, 210D–1680D Oxford); coated with PU or TPU for water resistance.
• Glass-fiber reinforced nylon (PA) — clamps and brackets for mounts, bells and lights.
• Silicone — light straps, phone-mount pads, grips, seat cushions; moldable with logos.
• Gel and memory foam — seat cushion fills.
• Wicker, PE rattan, steel wire, PP — baskets.
• Lithium-ion cells — rechargeable lights, electric pumps, alarm locks and e-bike batteries; regulated for transport.

• In-mold decals / water-transfer graphics — helmet shells; full-color, durable.
• Pad printing — curved plastic parts: light and mount housings, lock covers, pump handles.
• Silk-screen — flat or cylindrical surfaces: pump barrels, boxes, fabric.
• Laser engraving — aluminum and steel: bells, pumps, light bodies, lock bodies.
• Anodizing colors — aluminum parts in brand colors.
• Molded / debossed logos — silicone, rubber and plastic parts on larger runs.
• Woven labels, rubber patches, heat transfer, reflective print — bags, covers, sleeves, cushions, straps.

Window color boxes (helmets, lights, locks), blister and clamshell cards (bells, mirrors, mounts), polybag + header card (bags, covers, cushions), kit boxes (helmet + light, lock + mount, repair kits) and bulk packing for factory fitment or fleets. Manuals and warnings in your languages, barcodes and marketplace (e.g. FBA) labels are applied per SKU. Products with lithium cells need battery labels and, for larger packs, dangerous-goods packaging.

What drives MOQ:

• Platform — an existing design with your logo starts lower than a new mold or structure (helmet shells, lock bodies, mount housings).
• Colors — plastic, coating, fabric and anodizing colors have minimums per color.
• Logo method — molded logos and custom graphics have setup minimums; pad print and labels start lower.
• Packaging — printed boxes and kits have their own minimums; neutral packaging with a label starts lower.
• Documentation — helmet and battery testing for your market adds time and may set a practical minimum per SKU.
• Mixed SKUs — combining categories helps fill a shipment even when each SKU is small.

MOQ and lead time are quoted per SKU on every quotation; no prices are published. Send your RFQ via the inquiry form.

We do not hold out certifications, listings or ratings on this site. Documentation is handled per SKU and per order:

1. Brief. You tell us the destination market, sales channel and any retailer, marketplace, insurer or city requirements.
2. Identify per SKU. We list which documents may apply. Typical examples: bike helmets — the helmet standard of the market (for example CPSC 16 CFR Part 1203 in the US, EN 1078 in the EU/UK) with testing by an accredited lab, and third-party testing for children’s helmets in the US; lithium batteries (e-bike packs, rechargeable lights, electric pumps, alarm locks) — UN 38.3 test summary, SDS and dangerous-goods packing, and for e-bike batteries the safety standards a market or channel requires (for example UL 2271 / UL 2849 in the US, EN 50604-1 in Europe); electronics — electrical, EMC and radio documents for smart or rechargeable products; children’s products and materials — material and chemical declarations (for example CPSIA, Prop 65 or REACH where relevant); locks — independent security ratings only if a model is submitted.
3. Confirm before production. What can be provided — existing reports for a platform, or testing arranged with an accredited third-party laboratory — is confirmed on the quotation for your market, before mass production.
4. Labels and claims. Labels, manuals, warnings and packaging claims are approved by your team and must match the documentation for that SKU.

Labeling and claims are the brand owner’s responsibility. Rules change; confirm current requirements with your compliance advisor or laboratory.
