NTE x Lawson Mint Plush Keychain: Reading the Chinese Tag (毛绒团子, 执行标准, 非卖品) and What Envelope Shipping Means for the Plush
Using our own listing photos of the NTE x Lawson Mint plush keychain, this guide explains the product name, standard, age and not-for-sale wording on the back tag, what the hologram can and cannot show, and what to know about compression when it ships in a regular envelope.

When you pick up a Chinese collaboration item, the tag on the back is often entirely in Chinese. This guide looks at an item we list on Mercari: a plush keychain of the character Mint (薄荷) from the NTE (Neverness to Everness) and Lawson collaboration.
NTE is a free-to-play open-world RPG from Hotta Studio, published by Perfect World Games. According to gamebiz, it officially launched on April 29, 2026. Rather than introducing the game, this guide sticks to what can be read from our own photos of the item.
The front: a round shape, a woven tag and a paw patch
The front photo shows a round plush with a large face, inside a clear outer bag. The hair is mint and blue, there is a black ornament on the head, and the red eyes are embroidered. At the lower right are a white paw patch and a woven tag that appears to read Hotta Studio.
The listing photos are taken through the outer bag, so reflections hide some details. Round plush items are also hard to judge for size in a photo. The product page does not give body dimensions, so if size matters to you, please ask in the comments before buying.
Reading the back tag
| On the tag | Meaning | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| 【品名】异环×罗森 毛绒团子 | Product name: NTE x Lawson plush dumpling | 罗森 is how Lawson is written in Chinese. 毛绒 means plush and 团子 refers to the round dumpling shape |
| 【执行标准】GB 6675.1 to .4-2014 | Applied standard | These are numbers from China's toy safety standard. They are separate from Japan's ST mark |
| 【适用年龄】3岁以上 and a 0-3 prohibition mark | For ages 3 and up | Do not give it to children under 3 |
| 非卖品 NOT FOR SALE | Not for sale | Explained below |
| © Hotta Studio | Copyright notice | This names the rights holder |
We also cover 执行标准 and 适用年龄 in our guide to Chinese luggage tag labels. From what we can see, this tag does not give detailed material or care information, so these photos cannot tell you whether the plush is washable.
How to read 非卖品 and the hologram
非卖品 NOT FOR SALE suggests the item was originally distributed as something like a bonus rather than sold on its own at a set price. The tag does not spell out how it was distributed, and we could not confirm that in official information, so this article makes no definite claim. Our Chiikawa crab bag guide also discusses this wording.
The tag also shows a hologram reading HOTTA STUDIO and the barcode 6977470414313. These are useful clues when checking the tag, but neither this article nor these photos amount to an authentication. We have not obtained third-party authentication, and the product page description is our statement as the seller.
The product page describes this as part of a crane game (娃娃機) series, but the product name on the tag is 毛绒团子, and the word 娃娃機 does not appear in the tag photo. Likewise, China-only is not wording printed on the tag. If the series name or where it came from matters to you, please ask in the comments before buying.
Envelope shipping, compression and condition
The product page describes the condition as new and unopened, including the outer bag. It also notes that, as an overseas product, there may be small differences in sewing from the start, or fine scuffs on the bag.
For shipping, the product page says the item is put in an OPP bag against water and sent in a regular envelope, and that the plush may be slightly compressed so that it fits in a mailbox. It says gently kneading it after opening restores the shape, but if you want it to keep its exact shape or care about the bag's condition, please decide before buying whether this is acceptable.
- Check the 3岁以上 age wording, and do not give it to a child under 3
- Ask in the comments about dimensions or anything the bag hides in the photos
- Decide whether you accept compression in an envelope and scuffs on the bag
- Note there is no shipping on weekends or holidays, and purchases after 6 p.m. Friday ship the next Monday
Price and availability can change, and the item may sell out. See the product page or our Mercari profile for current details. This is a Mercari listing for delivery within Japan and we do not ship it directly overseas. This article reflects the listing and photos as of November 3, 2026.
