How to Label Packages for Amazon FBA
Every unit needs an FNSKU label (use thermal shipping labels or 4x6 direct-thermal stock). Poly-bagged items require a suffocation warning — 1.5 mil minimum thickness. Outer cartons need an Amazon carton label plus your shipping label, applied on the largest flat face.

Frequently asked
What size label does FBA require for FNSKUs?
FBA accepts 1"x2" through 3.5"x2" FNSKU labels. 4"x6" thermal shipping labels work for carton-level labeling.
What poly bag thickness does FBA require?
1.5 mil minimum for poly-bagged units. 2 mil is the practical standard — bags must include a suffocation warning in at least 14-point font.
Do I need Amazon-branded boxes?
No — any ECT-32 corrugated box under 25" on any side and 50 lb total works for inbound shipments. Amazon doesn't require branded packaging.
Can I use stickers instead of thermal labels?
Yes for FNSKU labels — self-adhesive paper stickers are fine. Thermal is cheaper at volume and removes the ink-cost line item.
