Amazon FBA Packaging Requirements
Packaging considerations for FBA inbound cartons and how reinforced gummed tape can support stronger seals.
Updated 2026-06-29
What sellers should control
Amazon sellers and prep centers should focus on carton strength, correct labels, scannable barcodes, clear shipment identification, and secure sealing. Tape choice is only one part of compliance, but weak seals can create practical problems if cartons open during transport or receiving.
Why reinforced tape is useful
Reinforced water activated tape can help heavy or high value cartons stay closed through inbound freight, sorting, and receiving. The bond with the carton makes tampering or accidental opening more visible than many plastic tape seals.
Supplier checklist
Share carton dimensions, loaded carton weight, shipping route, storage conditions, expected tape width, and whether the warehouse uses electric or manual dispensers. A supplier can then recommend standard or reinforced tape and suggest test rolls before a bulk purchase.
