Amazon FBA Labeling & Packaging Guide

Getting your Amazon FBA labeling and packaging right is crucial to avoid delays, rejections, or extra fees. Lets break down the key labeling requirements step by step.

What is an FNSKU?

The Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit (FNSKU) is Amazon’s way of uniquely identifying your product as linked to your seller account. Without the correct FNSKU label, your products won’t be properly tracked in Amazon’s fulfillment system.

Choosing the Right FNSKU Label

Amazon offers 11 different types of FNSKU labels, allowing sellers to select the best format for their products. The most commonly used label is "40-up labels (52.5 mm x 29.7 mm on A4)", which is widely accepted across Amazon fulfillment centers.

Below is a complete list of available FNSKU label printing options, ensuring you choose the right one for your packaging needs.

11 FNSKU Label Printing Options
1 21-up labels 63.5 mm x 38.1 mm on A4
2 24-up labels 63.5 mm x 33.9 mm on A4
3 24-up labels 64.6 mm x 33.8 mm on A4
4 24-up labels 66.0 mm x 33.9 mm on A4
5 24-up labels 66.0 mm x 35.0 mm on A4
6 24-up labels 70.0 mm x 36.0 mm on A4
7 24-up labels 70.0 mm x 37.0 mm on A4
8 27-up labels 63.5 mm x 29.6 mm on A4
9 30-up labels 1" x 2-5/8" on US letter
10 40-up labels 52.5 mm x 29.7 mm on A4
11 44-up labels 48.5 mm x 25.4 mm on A4

Recommended: For most sellers, the 40-up labels (52.5 mm x 29.7 mm on A4) is the most efficient and widely accepted option.

"Sold as Set" Labels

For products that are meant to be sold as a set, Amazon requires them to be marked and labeled properly to prevent individual items from being separated. These labels inform Amazon that the package must be handled as a single unit rather than individual pieces.

Ensuring correct "Sold as Set" labeling helps avoid confusion, prevents inventory mishandling, and ensures your products reach customers exactly as intended.

Suffocation Warning Labels

  1. 1 1. Mandatory for Poly Bags: Any poly bags with an opening of 5 inches or more must have a suffocation warning label.
  2. 2 2. Proper Placement & Visibility: The suffocation warning must be clearly visible, printed in a legible font, and placed on the prominent face of the product.
Suffocation Warning Labels

Refer to the table below to determine the correct font size for the warning label, ensuring compliance with Amazon’s standards.

Total Length plus Width of Bag Minimum Print Size
60 inches or more 24 point
40 to 59 inches 18 point
30 to 39 inches 14 point
less than 29 inches 10 point

Proper labeling helps protect consumers and ensures your products are compliant with Amazon’s safety regulations.

Shipment Labels

Shipment labels are essential for identifying the shipment details and must be placed on the outer packaging or cartons to inform Amazon of key shipping information. These labels can be generated through the seller's system when creating a new shipping plan.

Small Parcel Delivery (SPD)

The SPD label is used for small units that are packed individually in boxes and labeled individually. These shipments typically involve:

Products packed separately and marked clearly on each box.
Shipments that may be mixed with other vendor products.
Multiple delivery points during transit before reaching the final destination.
Incorrect
Incorrect No shipment label on the packaging
Correct
Correct Shipment label properly placed on the carton

Proper shipment labeling ensures smooth handling and accurate delivery to Amazon’s fulfillment centers.

Poly Bagged Units

When packing your products in poly bags, it's essential to follow these Amazon FBA guidelines to ensure compliance and protect your products during transit:

  • The polybag thickness must be 1.5 mils.
  • The polybag must be clear, allowing easy identification of the product inside.
  • Each bag must feature a scannable barcode (UPC, EAN, etc.) or X-00 label.
  • The bag must be completely sealed to avoid exposure and damage.
  • The polybag should not protrude more than 3 inches beyond the product’s dimensions.
  • Scented products must be tightly sealed to prevent the fragrance from absorbing into other items.

These guidelines ensure your polybagged units are safe, compliant, and ready for Amazon's fulfillment centers.

Packaging Requirements: Loose Products:

Every product must be packaged securely in its own complete package, with a unique FNSKU attached. Amazon will not accept products that require any form of assembly before shipping.

Sold as Set:

For products sold as a set, be sure to clearly label the packaging with terms like “Do Not Separate,” “Sold as a Set,” or “This is a Set.” These labels ensure the products are handled as a set by Amazon, both during receipt and dispatch, preventing any mix-ups or errors.

What does an Amazon FBA inspection check?
We verify FNSKU and carton labels, suffocation-warning labels, packaging and poly-bag requirements, carton weight and dimensions, quantity, product quality and workmanship, and overall FBA compliance — all documented with high-resolution photos.
How fast do I receive the inspection report?
A standard FBA inspection is completed in one day at the factory, and you receive a detailed report with photographic evidence within 24 to 48 hours, so you can approve or correct the shipment before it leaves.
