I used to use an Epson ET-2550 kzfaq.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

Thank you for such a thorough run through on the packaging requirements. Q: If using a upc barcode on a sticker that includes the brands: logo, slogan, mission statement, socials and website, would the sticker be in danger of being considerd 'marketing material"?

@ShipmateFulfillment 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Colin, That is a really tough question to answer. Amazon's policy regarding marketing materials is very broad and mostly centers around directing buyers off the platform. Because of this you see a lot of different opinions online on what is and what is not allowed. I consider a lot of these things to be gray area. You can't remove all your branding and all the information from your packaging and Amazon does not expect you to. The best answer would be to ask Amazon support as they are the only ones that can give you a clear answer. I will say that with gray area you usually are ok unless you have a bitter competitor or something, however if someone does report you and Amazon sees the claim as founded there can be major repercussions.

Hi, I noticed that sometimes when I send a mixed-pack case to Amazon, they mix up my merchandise when they receive it, even if I am very careful about proper FNSKU labeling. I get complaints from customers who receive an incorrect item from Amazon. I am trying to figure out how to prevent Amazon from doing this because the complaints are bad for my account. Do you think it will help if I pack my individual poly-bagged items into a larger polybag within the mixed box? For example, if I have a box of 120 individual items, and there are 6 different FNSKUs, 20 of each one - can I put the proper FNSKU label on each individual bag and then pack 20 in a larger bag, so then there will be 6 large polybags in the box, each containing 20 smaller polybags with identical FNSKUs - which the Amazon employees will then open and scan each item. Or do you have any other suggestions to avoid this issue?

@juliantu1542 Жыл бұрын

Hello, About the polybags, The item I have is smaller than the bag. If I folded the bag and seal it would be smaller. what if mine has sold as set/suffocation already on the bag and I place the item inside and when I seal the polybag you dont see sold as set? Do you think Amazon would reject this? Or should I leave the bag with space and seal?

@CecilDSouza Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the great info. Regarding FCNSKU, how do you get it from AMAZON?. Is it that after you specify the product details and units per boxes/Case Amazon automatically knows how many FCNSKU to print?. What if you want the FCNSKU printed on the product by the manufacturer and shipped straight to Amazon?. Or is it practical to print and do it yourself before shipping it to the Amazon warehouse?

GS1, upc or fnsku? 2. Our products are in a craft box. Should we also wrap these boxes with poly bag? Thank you in advance.

@ShipmateFulfillment 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ozge, I would recommend using a UPC if you can. This is because the UPC is standard and can be used for retail as well so if you ever decided to sell your products to a retailer or store you would have that option. Amazon will also accept the UPC without you having to use the FNSKU on most product categories so this is the route to go for 99% of sellers imo. I am assuming you mean cardboard box (kraft). as long as the packaging meets Amazon's minimum size requirements you would not need to bag it. Thanks for watching!

Please elaborate a little on this. Thank you for your time.

@ShipmateFulfillment 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Lucas, When I say marketing materials this does not include "branding" Amazon doesn't care if a brand logo or other information is showing. Branding is an important part of packaging. What I am getting at is marketing materials. Think coupons, ads, promotions, QR codes that redirect to websites. The people who buy from you one Amazon are Amazon's customers not yours and Amazon will do anything they can to keep it that way. Because of this they don't want you including any advertisements or promotions as this could lead to purchases outside of the Amazon ecosystem and ultimately hurt Jeff's pockets. Just make sure that you are not advertising your business, your website, or any kind of sale that you are having through an insert or on your packaging and you should be good. A Disney tag is not a marketing insert is is branding. Hope this helps and good luck!

Do you put the expiration label on the outside box or on each individual item. For example, if I have 4 in bottles of Essential Oils, do I put that big label on each bottle with the expiration date and the SKU label?

@ShipmateFulfillment 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Pedro, generally I recommend leaving anything with expiration dates up to the factory or manufacturer. There can be some liability with labeling things with expiration dates that you and your business may not want to take on even if you know/believe the information to be correct. Generally you want to make sure the the expiration date is visible on whatever the salable unit is. If you have a single bottle it needs to be visible on the single bottle, if you have a 4 pack it needs to be visible on the 4 pack. I hope this helps do not hesitate to call amazon if you are not 100% sure what to do. Thank you and thanks for watching!

Hi Sugeesh, thank you for subscribing! based on the assumptions I'm making and the information provided. Pouches should be ok as various food product does come in a salable unit that is a pouch. You should be able to uniformly case pack these salable units or pouches in a box. Just make sure if you send multiple boxes each one contains the same count. Also keep in mind that a clear expiration date will be needed as well and must be good for the amount of time specified by amazon for your particular product category. You may want to reach out to Amazon to confirm any outstanding questions or doubts. Hope this helps and good luck with your first product!

Hi Jack, If I were you I would contact Amazon and definitely include photos if you can as they are the end all be all judge, jury, and executioner.

I have attached the article on liquids for you to view. sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/G200280130?language=en_US From my understanding if your product lacks a double seal it will need to be in a poly bag.

If you are mailing self-published books to Amazon and they already have an ISBN, do you still have to purchase FNSKU labels? And if so, do you cover up the ISBN with their FNSKU label?

@ShipmateFulfillment 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Noir Notes, I do not have experience with self published books. I will say that FNSKU labels are free if you apply them yourself they only cost money if you pay Amazon or a prep service to apply them for you. I would contact Amazon to make sure that an ISBN is good enough just like how you can opt to use a UPC, my gut reaction is yes, as I've never received a new book with an FNSKU on it when ordering myself. However, I always recommend contacting Seller Support when you are unsure of things as that is the only way to ensure you are correct. If you do go the FNSKU route I would cover the ISBN as Amazon usually does not allow for multiple barcodes as their staff gets easily confused. I hope this helps even just a little bit, but the big take away would be contact seller support as at the end of the day they are judge jury and executioner and all I can do is take a guess based on my past experiences. Thank you for watching!

Hi Christian, Thanks for watching. When I say visible at all times I mean it cannot be covered or obscured.

For example the Jar with a clearly marked expiration date is good, but if that jar was within a color outer box and that box didn't show the date and you couldn't easily see it on the jar inside this would be a problem and may be rejected. It is also important to make sure your expiration date is clearly visible on the case or carton as well. Failure to have an easily locatable expiration date could risk your inventory being received as expired by FBA.

Great video! Can you put a ready to ship sticker on each item if you have packed it and put it a small box? I’m currently an eBay seller and have experience packing fragile items properly and have not had any items break this way in the last year I’ve been selling. I just want to send them to Amazon as though they are already to go to buyer.

Hi N Thompson, great question! I will tell you how I would handle this as I don't think there is a 100% "best" way to do this. Generally, you would have to make sure that the barcode or FNSKU is visible so you would want to put this on the outside of the small box. Technically this should signify a saleable unit, however I would recommend a sticker to signify the box should not be opened such as a general "Do Not Open" sticker or a "Sold As Set: Do Not Open" sticker. Amazon will most likely put your box into a larger box, but this should help to reduce the risk of Amazon opening your box. Hope this helps
