On this page, you will learn how to prep baby products so that they are protected from dust or damage throughout the fulfilment process.
Any product for children younger than age 4 that has an exposed surface greater than 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm must be packaged so that it will not be damaged during receipt, stocking, shipment preparation, or shipment to the customer. Products for children under age 4 that are not contained in a sealed, six-sided package, or have an opening greater than 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm must be shrink-wrapped or placed in a sealed poly bag.
