Core Prep Steps
Discuss your SKU requirements
Choose the prep services your SKUs require
Amazon prep requirements vary by category and packaging type. Some products only need correct FNSKU labels, while others
require poly bags, warning labels, bundled set preparation, or palletized freight configuration. We follow a structured
checklist so inventory is compliant before it is shipped to Amazon fulfillment centers.

FAQ
FBA prep questions sellers ask most often
-
What is included in FBA prep services?
-
When do products require FNSKU labels instead of manufacturer barcodes?FNSKU labels are commonly required when inventory is not stickerless, when you want to avoid commingling, or when Amazon requires seller-specific tracking. In those cases, manufacturer barcodes may need to be covered to prevent scan conflicts.
-
Can you prep inventory from multiple suppliers into one Amazon shipment?Yes. We can receive inventory from different suppliers, organize it by SKU, and prep it into a single inbound plan. This is especially useful for private label sellers and wholesale accounts managing multiple purchase orders.
-
Do you handle palletizing for LTL shipments to Amazon?Yes. When shipments move via LTL or full truckload, we build pallets, secure them with stretch wrap, and apply shipment identifiers. Proper pallet prep helps reduce refused deliveries and improves inbound receiving speed.
