Proper packaging ensures fast processing and helps reduce additional fees.

Why packaging guidelines matter

• Prevents rejections, returns, and repackaging fees
• Ensures safe storage and transport of products

General requirements

• Clear FNSKU for each product variant (size, color, condition)
• Barcodes must be visible and scannable on the outside — do not place them over edges or curves
• All other barcodes on outer packaging must be covered or rendered unreadable

Packaging for specific product types

• Products sold as a set:
  • Clearly label (“Sold as set,” “Do not separate”)
  • Use a unique ASIN for the set
  • Cover individual barcodes of items within the set
• Units packed in boxes:
  • Use a sturdy, six-sided cardboard box
  • Lids and openings must be securely sealed
  • Must pass a drop test from 125 cm
• Units packed in poly bags:
  • Transparent bag, at least 0.0254 mm thick
  • Fully sealed with a maximum flap overlap of 7.5 cm
  • Barcode must be scannable through the bag or attached externally

Single-SKU cartons

• Same SKU, condition, and quantity per carton (max. 150 units)
• No barcodes on the outer carton — only on individual units

Products with expiration dates

• Expiration date format: DD-MM-YYYY or MM-YYYY
• Clearly printed on both individual units and outer packaging (minimum 36 pt font size)
• Must be easily accessible during check-in
