Stationery to Amazon FBA | Packaging, Label Requirements & China Shipping Guide
✈️ Why Amazon Sellers Are Sourcing Stationery from China
China has become the global sourcing hub for custom stationery due to its cost efficiency, design flexibility, and broad material options. For Amazon sellers, sourcing directly from certified Chinese suppliers—especially those familiar with FBA shipping protocols—offers faster scaling, better margins, and complete customization control.
At TonySourcing, we’ve helped hundreds of sellers ship stationery products like pens, notebooks, and gift sets directly to Amazon FBA warehouses—with all the packaging, labeling, and compliance handled for you.
Amazon FBA Packaging & Labeling Requirements for Stationery
Shipping stationery products to FBA is not just about placing an order and sending it off. To avoid delays, extra fees, or product rejections, you must meet Amazon’s packaging and labeling requirements:
✅ 1. Individual Product Packaging
Each unit (e.g., pen, set, or notebook) must be individually wrapped.
Acceptable packaging: polybags, shrink wrap, paper boxes.
If the product is not enclosed, Amazon will reject the shipment.
✅ 2. FNSKU Barcode Labels
All items must have an FNSKU label (Amazon product barcode) on the outermost layer.
Size: 1″ x 2″ (minimum), scannable and not faded.
Position: Flat, visible area—usually the back of the package.
✅ 3. Suffocation Warning for Polybags
Polybags over 5 inches must display a suffocation warning.
Can be pre-printed or applied with a sticker.
✅ 4. Box Requirements
Max box weight: 50 lbs (unless a single unit exceeds that).
Max dimensions: 25 inches on any side.
Use double-wall cartons for heavier or fragile stationery (like pens with metal barrels).
✅ 5. Shipment Labeling
Each master carton needs two FBA box labels (generated from Seller Central).
Labels must be printed in 300dpi+ and securely applied.
