Amazon is one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms. In order to ensure a pleasant shopping experience for customers and safe transportation of goods, Amazon has formulated a series of packaging specifications for sellers. If you are selling on Amazon as a seller, you need to understand these specifications and package them according to their requirements. The following is a detailed introduction to Amazon seller packaging specifications.
1. Packaging materials.
Amazon requires sellers to use high-quality packaging materials to ensure that products are not damaged during transportation. It is recommended to use cardboard boxes with a thickness of more than 1.5mm and tape that meets ASTM D3951 standards for sealing. At the same time, foam pads, bubble wrap and other filling materials can also be used to protect the goods. Note that using old boxes or secondary packaging does not meet Amazon’s requirements.
2. Packaging method.
Amazon requires sellers to try to avoid collision or squeezing of goods during transportation when packaging goods. For this reason, it is recommended to use a single product box for packaging and do not mix multiple products together. At the same time, filling materials should be used to fix the goods in the product box to prevent the goods from shaking in the box.
3. Product tags.
Amazon requires sellers to mark relevant product information on the product box, including product name, ASIN code, seller name, quantity and other information. In addition, sellers need to put shipping labels and barcode labels on the product boxes so that the shipping company can scan and manage them.
4. Box size.
Amazon has different box size requirements for different types of products. Sellers need to choose the appropriate box size based on the size and weight of the product. When choosing box size, try to avoid using boxes that are too large or too small, so as not to affect the packaging and transportation of the goods.
5. Prohibited packaging materials.
When packaging products, sellers need to avoid using some packaging materials that do not comply with Amazon’s specifications, including glass, film, paper bags, plastic bags, etc. These materials are easily damaged or deformed, affecting the packaging and transportation safety of the goods.
In short, as a seller selling products on Amazon, it is very important to comply with Amazon’s packaging specifications. Only through high-quality packaging can we ensure that the goods are not damaged during transportation and provide customers with a better shopping experience. At the same time, it can also improve customer satisfaction and brand image, and increase sales. Therefore, sellers need to carefully understand and comply with Amazon’s packaging regulations and implement them in actual operations. If you have any questions or confusion, you can refer to Amazon’s official guidelines or consult Amazon customer service personnel to better understand and comply with these specifications.
