Bundling & Kitting

Bundling and kitting are FBA prep services used to combine multiple items into a single sellable unit. Amazon requires that bundled products are securely packaged together and labeled correctly so that the set is received, stored, and shipped as one unit.

This service is commonly used for multi-packs, complementary product sets, promotional bundles, and kits that include multiple components. Proper preparation reduces inbound issues and prevents Amazon from separating items during warehouse handling.

What Bundling & Kitting Can Include

Items are assembled according to your bundle configuration and prepared to meet Amazon requirements. Depending on the product type, preparation may include securing items together, adding protective packaging, and applying the correct FNSKU labels for the final bundled unit.

  • Assemble multi-item sets into a single sellable unit
  • Secure packaging to prevent separation in transit or storage
  • Apply correct labeling for the final bundled unit (FNSKU)
  • Add protection (poly bags, shrink wrap, boxing) when required
  • Prepare bundles for direct shipment to Amazon fulfillment centers

When Bundling Is Recommended

Bundling is recommended when you sell multi-packs or kits under a single listing. It is also useful when you want to increase average order value by combining complementary products. Proper preparation ensures that Amazon treats the set as one unit and prevents component loss.

Kitting is often used when products arrive from different suppliers and must be assembled into a single package before inbound delivery to Amazon. This helps standardize inventory and keeps the listing consistent across batches.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between bundling and kitting?
    Bundling usually refers to combining finished products into a set. Kitting often involves assembling multiple components into one package, which may include inserts, instructions, or mixed parts from different suppliers.
  • Do bundles need a separate barcode?
    Yes, in most cases the final bundle is treated as a single unit and should have the correct label for that unit (typically an FNSKU). Individual component barcodes may need to be covered if required by Amazon.
  • How are bundles secured?
    Bundles can be secured using poly bags, shrink wrap, boxing, or other protective methods depending on product type and Amazon requirements. The goal is to prevent separation in handling and transit.
  • Can bundling be combined with labeling and poly bagging?
    Yes. Bundling is often performed together with FNSKU labeling and poly bagging to ensure the final unit is both protected and compliant for Amazon inbound shipments.
  • Will bundling reduce inbound shipment issues?
    Correctly prepared bundles help reduce receiving issues because Amazon can scan and process the set as one unit. This lowers the risk of components being separated or placed in problem-solve status.
