Dear sellers and Amazon team!

We really need some advice here.

We're preparing our first shipment to Amazon. Here's the issue: we have our products in boxes with UPC barcodes and "made in China" labels printed on them. Originally, we planned to use Manufacturer barcodes. But now we've found out that each item goes into a separate carton box called the MIDDLE BOX before it goes into the master box. Here's the problem—the middle boxes don't have UPCs, and obviously you can't see the UPCs on the original boxes.

So, now we are scratching our heads... what should we do? Do we take out all 7000 units from the middle boxes? Or should we print extra UPC barcode stickers for the middle boxes? We're also thinking about using FNSKU. If we choose that, do we just need to put the FNSKU barcode on the middle box, or do we have to open each one, cover the UPC with FNSKU, and then put it on the middle box as well?

Any advice would be really helpful!

Thank you!

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

Dear sellers and Amazon team!

We´re getting ready for our first FBA shipment and were planning to use the manufacturer's barcodes with the "no prep needed" option. Here's the situation: our products come in boxes with UPCs printed by the manufacturer. These boxes then go into individual mid carton boxes, which don't have UPC barcodes. Those mid-boxes go to the master boxes that do have UPC barcodes as stickers.

My question is: do the mid carton boxes also need UPC barcodes, or is it okay to just have the UPC barcode on the master box and on the product box printed (but they are not visible because they are inside the mid carton box)? Alternatively, should we think about using Amazon's barcodes instead?

Thank you very much!
