FBA Packing Requirements
I'm having trouble locating the specific information I need for sending multiple SKU's to FBA in the same box.
I want to send small items - approx 3" long, 2" wide, 1" thick and 2-3 ounces. I have 2 questions:
- Can I put the little packages in which they come in a slightly larger vinyl zip-lock bag and put the FNSKU label on the zip-lock bag, or must I otherwise seal such a bag with with tape or heat?
- If I wanted to put, for example, 10 each of 4 different sku's in the same shipping carton, must I separate each sku from the others somehow (like putting each sku in a larger, sealable bag) or can I place all 40 units together in the box, relying on their FNSKU labels ?

Hi @Seller_fES06yRlGgMc4,
Thank you for reaching out on the Seller Forums! I'm just coming across this thread and wanted to provide some helpful information and resources as your packing your FBA shipment.
Please note that it's important to follow the below instructions to ensure shipments arrive undamaged and ready for intake to our fulfillment centers:
- Use a rigid, six-sided box with flaps intact.
- Use a single address label that has clear, complete delivery and return information.
- Each box you include in the shipment must have its own unique FBA Box ID label printed from your Shipping Queue.
- Each pallet requires four FBA Pallet ID labels, one on the top center of each side. Each box on the pallet also requires its own unique FBA Box ID label.
- When shipping multiple case packs in a larger box, apply the unique FBA Box ID shipping label on the outside of the primary box.
- If you are reusing boxes, remove all old shipping labels, barcodes, or markings.
- Cover existing barcodes with opaque tape or use a black felt-tip marker to render the barcode unscannable by crossing out the barcode. This prevents the incorrect barcode from being accidentally scanned during the receiving process.
- Wrap all items separately.
- Use adequate packaging material.
- Use strong tape designed for shipping.
- Use 2 inches of cushioning between each of your items and the inside of the box.
- After you pack your box, shake it gently. The contents should not move when shaken.
- Using boxes with dimensions measuring at least 6 x 4 x 1 inches and weighing at least 1 lb can reduce delays in receiving.
- Boxes must not exceed these maximum size and weight requirements: No more than 25.00 inches on any side and no more than 50.00 lb total, unless the box contains an individual oversize item that exceeds these limits. See the Box Dimensions and Box Weight sections below for additional information on box requirements.
If you haven't done so already, please read through the following help pages for additional guidelines and best practices on this process:
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know!
All the best,
Jameson
