Amazon FBA Product Requirements

[GoonerGary]

I've put off Amazon FBA for years and stopped selling with them altogether, but I might come crawling back!

If I were to send off one coaster design or a mug for example to an FBA centre, how do I prepare the product?

Does the product need a permanently printed product code, UPC barcode or brand name on the bottom?

Can you put a sticker on the bottom of the product?

Do you need to send a mug in a box which is printed or labelled?

Or can you send an unlabelled product and let Amazon label it up?

Thanks!

We often print trade orders for a few customers being sent in for FBA. All have a different ways of finishing off their item which we carry out for them but the one thing in common is a barcode type label which is downloaded from Amazon. This is basically an identifier for the product listed and every item will need this. It will need positioning as per their guidelines as that is used for picking. The rest is largely upto you. I would suggest individual boxes for the mugs though which we do for all our orders going in. They do have a full list of rules for outer packaging and delivering in, but just follow that and all should be fine.

Cheers, I thought that I'd read years ago that they wanted the base printed with a brand name. I'll read through their requirements.
