In short
Amazon FBA prep rules for bedding are specific: each unit needs a transparent poly-bag at least 1.5 mil thick, a suffocation warning when the bag opening is 5 inches or larger, and a scannable FNSKU label on the outside, plus carton rules. Have the China factory FBA-prep at source to avoid rejected shipments.
Bedding for FBA must be poly-bagged (≥1.5 mil), carry a suffocation warning if the opening is 5 inches or more, and show a scannable FNSKU on the outside. Have the factory prep it at source.
Bedding sold through Amazon FBA has specific prep rules, and getting them wrong means rejected or relabeled shipments. The essentials: each unit must be in a transparent poly-bag at least 1.5 mil thick, carry a suffocation warning if the bag opening is 5 inches or larger, and show a scannable FNSKU label on the outside. The smart move is to have your China factory FBA-prep at source. Here's the checklist.
Poly-bag requirements
- Transparent and at least 1.5 mil thick so the FNSKU scans through it.
- Bag fully sealed and sized close to the product.
- Suffocation warning printed on any bag with an opening of 5 inches or more — required for soft goods.
- Any manufacturer barcode on the product covered so only the FNSKU scans.
FNSKU labeling
Each unit needs its Amazon FNSKU barcode applied to the outside of the poly-bag, scannable without opening the bag. The label must be flat, legible and not wrapped around a corner. Provide your factory with the FNSKU artwork and they can print and apply it per unit during prep.
Carton and shipment rules
- Master cartons within Amazon's weight and dimension limits, with shipment/box labels applied.
- No mixed SKUs in a box unless labeled as such; keep cartons consistent for receiving.
- Avoid over-stuffing — cartons must survive transit without crushing the goods.

Have the factory prep at source
A source factory experienced with FBA can poly-bag, apply suffocation warnings, print and apply FNSKU labels, and pack to carton spec — so your goods arrive fulfillment-ready and skip a separate prep-center fee and delay. Send your FNSKU files and carton requirements up front and confirm it all on the sample.
Get the prep right at the factory — 1.5 mil poly-bag, suffocation warning over 5 inches, scannable FNSKU outside — and your bedding ships straight into FBA instead of into a rejection queue.
