Amazon FBA Labeling and Packaging Requirements: How to Avoid Rejected Shipments

When shipping products to Amazon FBA warehouses, proper labeling and packaging is crucial. Failing to follow Amazon’s strict requirements can result in delays, additional fees, or even rejected inventory.

At Forestleopard, we help sellers ensure every shipment meets FBA standards. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them:

✅ Key FBA Labeling Requirements

• Label size should be ≤ 75mm × 75mm (check category-specific rules)

• Information like SKU and ASIN must be clear, complete, and scannable

• Labels must be placed centered on the largest side of the box

• Use white background for labels only

• Heavy items must include “Team Lift” / “Mech Lift” labels (color printed, ≥8cm per side)

📦 Essential Packaging Guidelines

• Use new, clean corrugated boxes — no reused or branded packaging

• Cushion products properly with bubble wrap, EPE foam, etc.

• Avoid easily scattered materials like shredded paper or foam beads

• Damaged or oversized boxes will be rejected

• Special items (e.g. liquids, fragile goods, electronics) must follow category-specific safety packaging

• Avoid staples, nylon tape, or tape overlapping box seams more than 5cm (new rule for 2025)

Why It Matters

Improper packaging or labeling can lead to:

• Rejected inventory

• Fines and delays

• Poor seller performance metrics
