Managing your Amazon FBA shipments can be simple and stress-free when you follow the right steps! Here’s a clear, visual guide to help you get your products ready for Amazon’s fulfillment centers. 🚚✨
1️⃣ Prepare Your Inventory File
Start by organizing your products in a spreadsheet. This helps you keep track of SKUs, quantities, and other key details.
Imagine a clean, digital spreadsheet with columns for SKU, Product Name, FNSKU, and quantities.
2️⃣ Label Each Product with a UPC
Every product needs a GS1 UPC barcode for inventory tracking. Here’s how to do it:
- Get your UPC from GS1.
- Download and print the barcode.
- Attach the barcode label to each product.

Proper label placement is crucial! Make sure the barcode is flat and easy to scan.
4️⃣ Pack Products into Cartons
- Place your labeled products into sturdy brown cartons.
- Don’t seal the carton until you receive the final shipping labels.
- Each SKU should go in its own box—no mixing!
5️⃣ Attach Shipping & FBA Carton Labels
You’ll receive two labels for each carton:
