How do I label my shipment for Amazon FBA delivery?

Each unit in an Amazon shipment must have the proper label attached. This ensures it will arrive at the correct Amazon Fulfillment Center.

You can print shipping labels from within the Amazon Shipment Creation Workflow or, if you already created the shipment, from your Amazon shipping queue.

Be sure to read the Amazon specifications about label placement.

For example, the entire label must be visible and no other bar codes should be visible on the carton. They should also only be put on a flat surface (ie, the sides or top of the box). You should avoid the seams or corners so the barcode is clear.

If you’re shipping boxes, each box needs its own label. If you’ve got enough boxes to ship a pallet, you need four additional labels - one in the center of each pallet side.

Who Labels the Boxes?

Your supplier can label your boxes as long as you provide them with the correct labels and understand the correct way to label them.

If you aren't sure if your supplier can handle the labeling, our logistics providers can label your boxes for a fee before sending them to Amazon’s warehouses.

In this case, the logistics provider will need to palletize your shipment after it's labeled (for an additional fee).

You don’t pay for palletization if you ship via small parcel delivery (ie, UPS).
