FBA Prep (Amazon)
Amazon moves fast. So do we.
Berkley’s FBA prep program handles every step between your PO and the Amazon fulfillment center – accurate, compliant, and on time. From carton checks and FNSKU labeling to kitting, poly-bagging, palletizing, and shipment creation in Seller Central, our team keeps your inventory flowing without chargebacks or delays.
We work like an extension of your operations: clear communication, photo documentation, and QC at every hand-off. Whether you’re launching a new ASIN, bundling seasonal kits, or replenishing at scale, we prep to Amazon’s current standards and the specific requirements of your destination FC.
What we handle
FNSKU & barcode mapping, printing, application (and covering all manufacturer barcodes)
Poly-bagging & shrink (with required suffocation warnings), bubble-wrap, taping, and over-boxing
Kitting & bundling (sets, multi-packs, giftable packs), inserts & literature
Case pack & cartonization per your item master; box ID labels
Palletization to Amazon specs, pallet labels, LTL or Small Parcel workflows
Seller Central: shipment creation, box/pallet label generation, ASN details
QC & compliance checks (dimensions, weights, prep type, label scannability)
Lot/expiration tracking (where applicable) and photo documentation
Returns, rework & re-prep for refused or non-compliant FC returns
Our Step-by-Step FBA Prep Process
Intake & Work Order
Receive your PO/SKU list and prep requirements (kitting rules, packaging type, label placement, ship-to FC). We confirm timelines before work starts.
Receiving & Count
Check in cartons/pallets, verify quantities, and flag any damage or mismatches. Items are staged by SKU for prep.
Item Validation
Match each SKU to the correct ASIN/FNSKU, confirm prep type (bag, bubble, box, over-box, set), and ensure all manufacturer barcodes to be covered are identified.
Prep Execution
Perform required poly-bagging/shrink, bubble wrap, tamper seals, inserts, and kitting/bundling. Apply suffocation warnings where required by Amazon standards.
FNSKU Labeling
Print and apply FNSKU labels; cover any other scannable barcodes on the unit. Spot-scan to verify readability.
Cartonization & Case Pack
Pack units to your case-pack rules, weigh/measure cartons, and record exact dims/weights for Seller Central. Apply Box ID labels generated from the shipment plan.
Pallet Build (if LTL/FTL)
Palletize to current Amazon specs for the destination FC (pattern, height, wrap, corner boards if required). Apply Pallet ID labels.
Shipment Creation & Documents
Build the shipment in Seller Central (SPD or LTL), finalize contents, generate labels, and share a packout + photos. Coordinate pickup or schedule a delivery appointment when required.
QC & Sign-off
Final compliance check: counts, labels, dims/weights, and photo set. Nothing leaves without passing QC.
Track & Reconcile
Monitor the shipment until received by Amazon. If an FC flags something, we rework/re-prep fast and close the loop with your team.
