The Importance of Proper Lawn Mower Packaging
Quality packaging is crucial for lawn mowers manufactured in China and worldwide. Whether you’re shipping gas mowers, electric mowers, or robotic mowers, the packaging must protect the product during transit while meeting international standards.
Essential Packaging Materials for Lawn Mowers
Chinese manufacturers like Shandong Deyou use several protective materials:
- Heavy-duty corrugated cardboard – At least 5-ply for ride-on mowers
- EPS foam corner protectors – Custom-molded for each model
- Plastic stretch wrap – Waterproof layer for metal components
- Steel strapping – For securing large commercial mowers
International Labeling Requirements
Proper labels help with customs clearance and customer safety:
| Label Type | Description |
|---|---|
| CE Mark | Required for EU markets |
| FCC Certification | For electric models sold in North America |
| Made in China | Country of origin marking |
Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions

Warning Labels and Safety Information
Proper warning labels are legally required and should include:
- Blade safety warnings in pictogram format
- Electric shock warnings for corded models
- Fuel handling instructions for gas mowers
- Noise level information (dB rating)
Customs Documentation Requirements
Exporting lawn mowers from China requires:
- Commercial invoice with HS code (8433.11 for mowers)
- Packing list with gross/net weights
- Certificate of origin
- Product manual in destination language
Retail Packaging Considerations
For consumer models, packaging serves marketing functions:
Color Schemes
Green for eco-friendly electric models, orange for commercial-grade equipment
Window Boxes
Allow customers to see product without opening
