Amazon FBA Packaging: The Manufacturer's Compliance Guide

For Amazon sellers importing from China, the transition from factory to FBA warehouse must be seamless. Here is how we ensure your boxes never get rejected.

1. Barcode & FNSKU Placement

Amazon requires scannable barcodes on the exterior of every unit. **EliteBox Service:** We print your FNSKU barcodes directly on the packaging during the printing phase, saving you the labor cost of hand-labeling each unit in the US.

2. Suffocation Warning Requirements

If your packaging includes plastic polybags over 5 inches, a suffocation warning is mandatory. **EliteBox Service:** We offer printed glassine bags or FSC-certified tissue paper as eco-friendly alternatives that bypass these warning requirements and improve your brand perception.

3. The "Drop-Test" Standard (ISTA-1A)

Amazon's sorting centers are high-velocity environments. Your rigid boxes must withstand multiple drops. **EliteBox Service:** Our 1200g greyboard structures are drop-tested to ensure your products arrive in pristine condition, reducing your return rate and protecting your seller rating.

4. Masters Carton Specifications

Amazon has strict weight limits (usually 50 lbs) for master cartons. We optimize your carton dimensions and packing counts to ensure you never pay "overweight" penalties. [Request an FBA-Ready Quote](/quote).
