Amazon FBA packaging guide: poly bag, bubble wrap, boxes

Complete packaging guide for Amazon FBA: when to use poly bags, bubble wrap, boxes, and what Amazon requires in 2026.

Why does packaging matter for Amazon FBA?

Amazon has strict packaging requirements. If your product doesn't comply, you face penalties, rejections, or inventory destruction. In 2026, with the end of FBA Prep, you (or your prep center) are 100% responsible.

Poly bag: when and how to use it

When: loose products, textiles, items with separable parts, products that can get dirty.

Amazon requirements:

  • Minimum thickness: 1.5 mil
  • Suffocation warning required if bag is larger than 5"
  • Barcode must be readable through the bag
  • Bubble wrap: protection for fragile products

    When: glass, ceramics, electronics, any product that can be damaged by impacts.

    Requirements:

  • Minimum 2 layers for glass products
  • Product must pass a 36" drop test
  • Barcode must be readable after packaging
  • Boxes: sizes and requirements

    Amazon accepts standard boxes:

    Rules: max weight 50 lbs, don't use damaged boxes, use dunnage to fill empty space.

    Bundles and kits

    If you sell multi-unit packs, they must be packaged together so they can't be separated. Each bundle needs its own FNSKU label.
