Which playpen sizes do you make?
| Size (cm) | Size (in) | Floor area | Example styles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 127 × 127 | 50 × 50 | 1.6 m² (17 sq ft) | PK-160 |
| 150 × 180 | 59 × 71 | 2.7 m² (29 sq ft) | PK-167 |
| 150 × 200 | 59 × 79 | 3.0 m² (32 sq ft) | PK-161 |
| 180 × 200 | 71 × 79 | 3.6 m² (39 sq ft) | PK-161 |
Inches are rounded from centimetres. Other sizes can be made from 100 pcs.
How much floor space does each size need?
The outer size is the footprint, so measure the room and leave space to walk around the pen and open doors. A 127 × 127 cm pen fits a small living room; a 180 × 200 cm pen needs more than twice that floor area. Many of our pens fold flat for storage, which matters to customers in smaller homes.
Can a crib mattress fit in a playpen?
For play yards, CPSC advises using only the mattress supplied with the product: an extra or supplemental mattress can leave gaps that create an entrapment and suffocation hazard. Our playpens are floor play fences, not sleep products — we do not market them for sleeping, and your listing should not either.
Which standard applies to playpens?
- EU: EN 12227 covers playpens for domestic use. Our playpens are tested to it — report C210525017001-2.
- US: play yards fall under 16 CFR part 1221 (ASTM F406). Panel-style enclosures may instead be covered by the gates and enclosures rule, 16 CFR part 1239. Your lab classifies the design; we do not list a US playpen report today.
What can you customise on a playpen?
Size from 100 pcs, fabric colour and print from 500 pcs, and retail packaging from 100 pcs. Send your artwork and we sample in 3–7 working days.
Fabric, mesh or panels — which build?
- Fabric panels with printed patterns — soft to the touch and easy to brand with your own print.
- Mesh windows — let parents see in from outside the pen.
- Plastic panel pens — rigid panels joined into a floor fence.
Most of our pens are fabric or mesh on a frame; see the playpen range for each style's build.
What to put on the listing
- Outer size in cm and inches, and the floor area.
- Panel height and the number of panels or sides.
- Whether it folds, and its folded size.
- Age range and the statement that it is a play product, not a sleep product.
- The standard it is tested to for your market.
Ask us for the measured height, folded size, carton size and container quantity of the model you choose — we send them with the quote rather than guess them here.
