1. I need help placing the product BARCODE and Amazon SHIPPING LABEL on the SAME BOX without a master box.

I have a product barcode GS1 US GTIN-12 (more commonly known as a UPC) and an Amazon FBA shipping label. There are 600 pcs products in 600 boxes without a master box.

Note: I have it set to use a manufacturer barcode (instead of an Amazon FNSKU barcode) for my listing.

On Google, I didn't find an exact answer to the question, “Where should the Amazon FBA shipping label and manufacturer barcode be placed on the outer box if there is no master box? Next to each other on the same side, or two different sides of the box?"

As far as I know, you must place both on the box, but we haven't done that before, so I need confirmation of the exact placement of the two labels on exactly which surface of the box !!

2. Should I use the master box if the size of one carton box averages 37* 9* 10 inches/95* 22* 24 cm and the gross weight is 13 Lbs/6 kg? If so, how many product boxes should be placed in a master box (and as an oversized item that exceeds 50.00 lb, indicating the "Team Lift" label on the top and sides of the master box)?

3. Also, please confirm that MY BARCODE GS1 US GTIN will be smoothly accepted in the US Amazon FBA system as a UPC INSTEAD of the Amazon FNSKU BARCODE.

I want my products to meet the Amazon FBA packaging requirements for packaging and prep standards.

Can anyone help? @Ricardo_Amazon, @Manny_Amazon, @Cooper_Amazon, @Steve_Amazon, or @Josh_Amazon

Thanks, and I appreciate it.

Regards

I am trying to find Amazon Policy for AWD for master / inner cartons. There is very sparse information.

We use inner cases SOLELY for protection of the product. Surely that is standard procedure for products coming from China. A case contains 80 units, packed in 4 inner cases of 20 items. Only the items themselves have FNSKU barcodes. There's maybe 24 cases on a pallet.

Here's my thinking of how it should work:

- The SSCC barcode label tracks a carton at AWD. A carton has an associated list of contents, but other than that it is a 'black box' to AWD. They have no need to open it for verification.

- Even if the inner cartons had SSCC labels I wouldn't expect AWD to open the master cases to find them.

- When a carton is transferred from AWD to FBA they tell them to expect a carton of 80 items and at FBA they open it, find 4 inner cartons with no barcode. Anyone with even the tiniest brain would realized they have to open the inner case to find 20 items with FNSKU barcodes.

- If we send our current 'inner cartons' as primary cases with SSCC labels, not only will an A4 label not fit but the product will be much more likely to get damaged.

I can't find ANY official description of case requirements except for maximum size.

I have found many threads, mostly closed so I need to open a new one. I have found answers such as this:

"AWD receives and stores at the individual carton level, so each carton would need a SSCC label on it."

This doesn't make any logical sense to me, and frankly I don't believer it can possibly be true. AWD only cares about cartons, but a carton is a 'black box' with an SSCC label on it. Only when they transfer it to FBA should anyone open it and look for a barcode.

I have a protective box for my product that the manufacturer printed with my FNSKU. The UPC is on my product inside the protective box. If I sell to other ecommerce platforms they don't need the FNSKU instead they need the UPC. Can I put the UPC on the protective box with the FNSKU? If so, do they need to be on opposite sides or can they both be on the bottom with proper spacing? I want to utilize the protective box.
