Amazon FBA is a powerful sales channel, but it works best when combined with expert prep and a supporting fulfilment infrastructure. PackPro helps Amazon sellers maximise the value of FBA through professional prep services, FBA injection, and a parallel 3PL setup for non-Amazon channels.
Before stock can be sent to an Amazon fulfilment centre, it must be prepared to Amazon's exact specifications. This includes: applying FNSKU labels over manufacturer barcodes, poly-bagging items that Amazon requires to be bagged, adding suffocation warning labels to poly bags, applying "sold as set" or "ready to ship" labels where required, and ensuring carton labels and pallet configurations meet Amazon's inbound specifications.
Non-compliance with Amazon's prep requirements results in items being held at the fulfilment centre, prep charges applied by Amazon, and in some cases the consignment being refused. Professional prep by a 3PL eliminates this risk.
Rather than shipping stock from your own premises or supplier directly to Amazon, routing through a UK 3PL provides quality control and consolidation benefits. Stock arrives at PackPro, is inspected for damage or compliance issues, labelled and prepped to FBA specification, and consolidated into an optimised inbound shipment. Any issues are caught before the stock reaches Amazon — not after.
Many sellers use FBA for their Amazon channel orders while fulfilling Shopify, eBay, and other marketplace orders through a 3PL. This hybrid model combines FBA's Prime eligibility for Amazon sales with the packaging flexibility and cost efficiency of 3PL fulfilment for DTC and other marketplace channels.
PackPro manages hybrid setups: we hold your full inventory, fulfil non-Amazon orders directly, and prepare and inject FBA-bound stock on a schedule that keeps your Amazon inventory healthy without excessive storage fees.
PackPro's FBA prep service handles labelling, bagging, and Amazon-compliant inbound shipment creation. We integrate with Seller Central to create shipping plans and generate carton labels automatically. Learn more about our FBA prep services or request a quote.
