What Does an FBA Prep Service Do?

FBA prep services typically handle the physical preparation, packaging, labeling, and inspection of your products to ensure they comply with Amazon’s rules. This can include:

Common FBA Prep Tasks:

FNSKU Labelling – Printing and applying Amazon’s unique product barcode (FNSKU) to each unit.
Polybagging – Wrapping items in clear polybags with suffocation warnings if needed.
Bubble Wrapping – Protecting fragile items to prevent damage during transit.
Kitting & Bundling – Combining multiple products into one ready-to-sell bundle or multipack.
Expiry Date Labelling – For grocery, beauty, and health products with shelf lives.
Inspection & Quality Checks – Ensuring units are clean, undamaged, and match your SKUs.

Why Use an FBA Prep Service?

Inventory rejection
