Next steps before you hire a prep center.

We introduce sellers to prep centers once they are shipping. Until then:

The prep supplies you need
The printer, FNSKU labels, polybags, sealer and scale for prepping your first units yourself.
Amazon's prep requirements
The 2026 rules that get inventory turned away: polybag minimums, FNSKU labels, hazmat and meltables.
What prep costs: the rate comparator
Enter your monthly units to see which prep centers take you, at the rate on each one's published card.
What FBA prep is
What the work covers: labels, polybags, bubble wrap, expiration dates and hazmat paperwork.
