Packaging baby products

On this page, you will learn how to prep baby products so that they are protected from dust or damage throughout the fulfilment process.

Important: Failure to comply with FBA product preparation requirements, safety requirements, and product restrictions may result in refusal of inventory at the Amazon fulfilment centre, disposal or return of inventory, and blocking of future shipments to the fulfilment centre.

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.
