Amazon FBA Labelling and Packaging Guide
Let’s look at all the labeling requirement criteria one by one:
Amazon FBA Labelling and Packaging Guide
FNSKU is the way that Amazon recognizes a product as unique to the seller that has sent it to the Amazon fulfillment center.
Amazon has 11 different kinds of FNSKU label specifications available on their menu. Whereby, the seller can choose one of the labels for their product. These different types of labels allow you to identify the type of product being sold. Most used label for Amazon products is “40-up labels 52.5 mm x 29.7 mm on A4”.
Below you can find all the options for printing out the FNSKU labels.
Sold as set Labels:
The units that are supposed to be sold in sets must not be separated and sold individually. Such products are required to be marked & labeled as sets on their outer package to let Amazon know that these products will be sold as one complete unit and not be treated as a single entity.
Suffocation Labels:
1. Suffocation warnings labels are mandatory for poly bags with 5 inches opening or more
2. Warning labels must be placed in a legible font and on the prominent face of the product. You can use the following table to decide the font size of the warning labels.
Shipment Labels:
Shipment labels are labels that are required to be placed on the outer most packaging/cartons of the product to let Amazon know about shipment details. These shipment labels can be generated in sellers system in new shipping plan.
Small Parcel Delivery (SPD)
The SPD is used for small units that are packed in individual boxes and are marked individually on the boxes.
- The SPD is used for small units that are packed in individual boxes and are marked individually on the boxes.
