FBA Prep & Packaging · Amazon-compliant fulfillment prep

FBA prep & packaging, done to spec.

Makinateck is a full-service Amazon FBA prep and packaging operation for brands selling on Amazon Seller Central and Vendor Central. We receive your inventory, prep every unit to current Amazon FBA Inventory Requirements, label with FNSKU and category-specific markings, build compliant inbound shipments, and ship to the FC network. No surprise unplanned-service fees, no rejected shipments, no chargebacks.

Core offerings

Every prep service Amazon requires, under one roof.

We handle the full inbound workflow — receiving, prep, labeling, palletization, and shipment creation — for standard, oversize, fragile, regulated, and hazmat SKUs.

FNSKU & Barcode Labeling

Print and apply FNSKU, UPC, EAN, and ASIN labels per Amazon FBA labeling policy. Covered or removed manufacturer barcodes on every unit.

Poly-Bagging & Suffocation Warnings

1.5-mil clear poly-bagging with compliant suffocation warning (≥5" opening). Heat-sealed or self-sealed per item type.

Bundling & Multi-Packs

Single-SKU bundles, multi-packs, and variation kits assembled, sealed, and labeled as a single sellable unit.

Bubble Wrap, Dunnage & Fragile Prep

Glass, ceramic, electronics, and breakables prepped with bubble wrap, foam, and corrugated inserts to pass FBA inbound inspection.

Expiration & Lot Code Labeling

Supplements, food, cosmetics, and consumables labeled with expiration dates per FBA Date Format Policy. FIFO rotation on every shipment.

Hazmat & Regulated SKUs

Lithium battery, aerosol, and ORM-D items reviewed against Amazon's Dangerous Goods Program. SDS handling and proper outer markings.

Inbound Shipment Creation

Shipment plans built in Seller Central, carton labels printed, pallets palletized to Amazon's pallet specs, and BOLs prepared for LTL pickup.

Returns Processing & Re-Prep

Customer returns inspected, re-graded, re-packaged, and re-labeled for resale — or disposed of with documentation when required.

Benefits

Why brands move their FBA prep to Makinateck.

Zero unplanned-service fees

Every unit ships compliant. We've never had a client billed for FBA unplanned prep on shipments we processed.

Faster check-in times

Cleanly prepped shipments check in faster at Amazon FCs — typical receive-to-available time under 72 hours.

Category-specific expertise

FDA-regulated supplements, fragile glassware, oversize automotive, apparel variations — we've prepped them all.

Full chain-of-custody

Receiving photos, prep photos, and shipment manifests stored per SKU for IP and authenticity disputes.

Expertise

Trained on every Amazon FBA prep policy that matters.

A decade operating inside Amazon — not a generic 3PL learning the rules on your inventory. Our prep team works to the same standards we'd hold our own brand to.

"Makinateck took over our FBA prep after we got hit with $9,000 in unplanned-service fees in one quarter. Six months in, that line item is zero. Every shipment goes in clean."
