Hello! You're welcome and thank you for taking a moment to leave me your input and feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad to hear that you found the content helpful. Keep hustling!
You are a life saver. For 2 months my product have bn stock at home with me, didn't know how to go about it. You just saved me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏
Very helpful video, I've previously contacted Amazon support inquiring about custom FNSKU labels both 2"x3" and 4"x6" to which they've responded with the usual copied and pasted Amazon requirements with absolutely no mention of whether either custom or proposed dimensions are acceptable or not, I've also included proposed examples without luck. I assume yours has been tried and tested successfully to be deemed acceptable. Many thanks, kudos for the great work!
Thanks. Would you know if a larger size (4"x6") custom designed with brand/logo label with proportionate / to scale FNSKU barcode about 3" wide, (no skewing or distortion) would be acceptable?
Congrats on starting your Amazon journey! I’m glad your finding value in the content! You might find this helpful: ruclips.net/video/cOE8dnhRAxE/видео.html
You are highly appreciated with this teaching. A lot of things to learn here in Amazon. I want to find out if I must delete listing to enable the Amazon barcode to show the FNSKU? Must I delete and reduce a new listings to enable the FNSKU for Amazon barcode to show or do I not delete it but create a new listings? Need your advice. Appreciated
I'm glad you found value in the content! If the FNSKU isn't showing, it doesn't matter as long as you've chosen to use the Amazon barcode option. If you really want it to print out the FNSKU on the label (X0 vs B0), then you'll have to delete the listing, wait 24-48hours and create the listing again using the same UPC and SKU.
@@CrescentKao Thank you in deed. I will delete the listing. I thought that I know everything already. I do not want to pay for labeling these products. One more quick question; is the Amazon system going to assign me the same ASIN? As you know that is generated and assigned as we create listings.
Hi Crescent, Grad student here and a budding amazon seller. Thank you for this. I was freaking out. I had no idea I needed to label all units nor where to even start on my FBA journey. This amazon thing is hard but we are so grateful for you. You gained a new subscriber. Q1: How can I have the private label company place the FNSKU on the products, is it ok to send the FNSKU to them? To save me from labeling them for the next shipment?
Hi Crescent, Thanks for the barcode update. My understanding is to have the FNSKU barcode on each product as you said, and need to have UPC for the initial product listing, but should not show on the product packaging.
I read that we need to use a thermal printer or minimum laser, but if i heard this right, if we get the mentioned paper in this video we can print them from a normal inkjet printer at home?
Hi,how are you, amazing vedio. No one in youtube mentioned that specific information about amazon barcode and manufactor barcode. I don't know about fhis before this vedio. Thank you. BUT I have a question. When I printed FNSKU LABEL it come with B0 ,NOT X0, and I followed the instruction to change it to Amazon barcode. But nothing changes. Tha FNSKU still started with B0. WHAT I can do to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and effort 👌 🎉
Hello! You're welcome. I'm glad you found the content helpful. You can just leave the FNSKU as is and us the B0 one, there's nothing wrong with that, or you can delete the listing and create a new one using the same UPC and SKU to update it.
Hi Cresent, I changed my default Amazon Barcode Preference Setting to Amazon (was merchant) But when I go to download it still shows the ASIN under the barcode.. Will it take some time for the changes to take? Its been about 30 minutes. Thanks
Hello. It doesn't matter if the label shows the ASIN or the FNSKU number. If you changed the setting, then you're good to go. If you're really worried about it, you can delete the listing and create a new one using the same UPC barcode and SKU, that should change the label to show the FNSKU.
Hi Crescent, your videos are full of helpful content, I really appreciate that. I do have a question if I am sending 1000 units to amazon warehouse do I need 1000 FNSKU labels to put on each unit or I can just put one on the box?
Hello! I'm glad you're finding value in the content! Every unit needs to have the barcode on it. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
Do we also have to have 0.25 inches of white space around the fnskus labels? How do we achieve this when we download the barcode what dimensions should we tell Amazon so we can then add make in China and make sure it's 0.25 all away around.
Yes, but Amazon isn't too strict on this. As I went over in the video, as long as it's scannable and readable, it's good to go. If you download the barcode, you can use it as is by printing it out. If you're going to customize it like I showed in the video, then you can make it whatever size you want, you're not telling Amazon anything.
Thanks your videos really helping a lot. So I have one question, will you please let me know. I am in the middle of designing my package. Can I make the FNSKU little shorter in width? Also can I remove the texts below the barcode? Or it has to be like that? I will be much appreciated if you let me know this. Thanks
You're welcome! As I mentioned in the video, as long as the barcode is scanable and the text is readable by a human, you can make it whatever size you want.
@@CrescentKao thank uou so much! It is very helpful now. I am gonna make my FNSKU smaller to fit my label by .6inch high and 1.3 inch width now. So this is ok, correct? But all word will be visible. Will be much appreciated again.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm really glad I found your channel. I do have a question. Have you ever used tracking labels for children's items? I'm wondering if they actually have to be printed on the package.
I meant to ask you if adding the warning icon to our fnsku labels and the text, what dimensions would you recommend we save this in Canva if we intend to print on a 2 by 1 label on thermal printer? Thanks
Hi and thank you so much for your video. I am a bit confused, do I have to buy both Amazon barcode and Gs1 Barcode? Or can I use the barcode which is already on the product for listening and then choose fnsku after Thank you
Hello! You're welcome. You need a UPC barcode in order to create a product listing. You can use/put the UPC barcode on your units but like I stated in the video, I suggest using/putting the FNSKU on each unit instead.
These are the Amazon barcode requirements according to Seller Central. You seem to say that the Product name and item condition are not required? Amazon barcode requirements When printing Amazon barcodes onto labels, make sure that the printed labels include: Sufficient white space around the Amazon barcode and related text: (0.25 inch on the sides and 0.125 inch on the top and bottom) ASIN or FNSKU Product name Item condition
That's correct. Unless you have some specific reason not to put them on there, like for design or cosmetic reasons on a custom designed package, I would put it on there.
Question... why not just print the FNSKU on the box when you design your custom packaging for boxes only going only to Amazon? Is there an advantage to have the FNSKU on stickers?
The option for me to choose barcode type does not show up. Neither does the convert only page. I manually changed it but my fnsku still starts with a BO
Hi!! Loved this video! Can’t thank you enough for all your valuable knowledge and info. Question if you don’t mind please. Does every single unit need a “made in China” sticker or just the big box with all the units inside? Thank you!!!
@@CrescentKao Hi!! Thank you so much for replaying!! Should I do what you did in the video and add it to the FNSKU? Amazon will accept that?? Thank you Crescent!!
Im into wholesaling...Ngbyou say theres alrwdy manufavturer code or upc in the product...but howwould yyou change the pruce if the upc code has its own price?
I have different colors of my product and im wondering can i just print labels off amazon for each of them or do I need to go to GS1 and pay for them? please help!
Are you doing private label? You can't create a listing without having/buying a UPC barcode first so there's no way for you to print anything without a listing: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
Hey thanks for your video. I heard how you need a suffocation warning on the poly bag. If my product is put in plastic and then put in custom packaging box . Do I need to put the suffocation warning on the plastic or can I put it on the packaging
Thanks for making this video! Question: You say the only requirement is the barcode itself & the FNSKU be on the label. I'm not able to verify this information through Amazon, and have been told that the product title and the condition need to be included as well (by another seller). I know I have personally purchased FBA products that only have the barcode and FNSKU printed on their packaging. Where can we verify Amazon's policy on this? (I want to make sure this won't create any problems before printing in this way on our product's packaging). Thanks again!
You're welcome! Amazon's guideline says it must have ll the info on the label but like you said, sellers haven't adhered to it without any issues. Links to the labeling guidelines are in the video description.
hey crescent, great video. i have question: suppose i am shipping 50 units of a product to Amazon FBA, so, will I get 1 common FNSKU for all 50 units, or will there be a different FNKSU code for each unit?
Hello! I'm glad you found value in the video! That's correct, the same barcode goes on all the units of the same product. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
I have had some recent shipments to FBA flagged for the ASIN sticker not including the condition, in my case "NEW". This is despite using such labels without NEW on them for years. May be a new crackdown or tight interpretation of TOS? I wonder if they ever expect NEW on a product where the FNSKU barcode is printed on the retail package (not a label)?
Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience. I've never run in to this issue either and I've never had anyone else report that they have either until now. Amazon might be starting to be more strict on enforcing this on the label or they just had a worker that is too "by the book" that processed your inventory. What action are they making you do?
@@CrescentKao no action required, but they ding the related performance metric. Once they dinged me for that issue alone. Recently they dinged me primarily for a label that was "too glossy" (was glossy vinyl material type) and also mentioned about the missing condition. Funny thing about the label, they checked in 50 units, all prepped the identical way, but 15 were deemed unscannable.
What should i do if Amazon says "This SKU is already assigned a barcode preference", and won't allow me to switch it to an amazon barcode (Even though my product is not already on amazon)
You can delete the listing an create a new one using the same UPC and SKU. Just make sure you changed the barcode preference to Amazon Barcode in your account settings first.
Hello. The country of origin is a requirement by US Customs, not Amazon. It has nothing to do with Amazon or the FNSKU. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Hey crescent if i choose box for my product so should i put suffocation warning on it or not just so confused about suffocation warning on printing label please advise
I have one question plz; If sending a box of 100 T-shirt to Amazon, but are different in sizes and colours, do I have to buy 100 different barcodes, or I can just print 100 of the same barcode and put 1 on each package
Hello. As I said in the video, you can use the manufacturer barcode but you shouldn't. You should use the FNSKU. This video goes over it more in detial: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
Crescent, just to confirm, if I will sell private label I can use the GTIN code I bought on GS1, right?, as it is unique code it won't be I mix with any other product. I already printed the labels with that code... For the future I'll use the FNSKU even though I think use the GS1 code is better if we plan to sell in the future in other places, isn't?
Do I need a UPC bar code if my product has been sold on Amazon before? I've created my 1st listings of products that consisted of used books and clearance items and did NOT use a UPC to do so. Im so nervous that i did incorrectly. I'm thinking I only need a UPC code if I'm selling my OWN brand or something of the sort. Can you please clarify? TIA
If you are doing arbitrage or reselling/wholesaling and the product itself already has manufacturers barcode on it, then no, you can use the existing barcode and Amazon listing.
I purchased barcodes from GS1, but do we still need to use FNSKU for the shipment? Or should I use the FNSKU for the shipment and not spend money on GS1?
Hi Crescent, I have been using GS1 barcode for my product(my brand) for FBA. what happen to the stock in the FBA centre if I change the manufacturer barcode to FNSKU for a new batch of shipping? thank you for your answer in advance! your video contents is really great!
Hey Crescent, fantastic video as usual! You've become an indispensable resource for me as I navigate the rules/guidelines and requirements of FBA. The barcode editing/customizing tutorial in this video is especially a lifesaver! Quick Question regarding that: Im selling a set of items as a single unit, and FBA rules require that I label each unit as a set with phrases such as "Sold as Set". Can I add this phrase under the barcode similar to how you added the warning logo/phrase in the video? This way it doesn't have to be a separate label. Would this be okay or does FBA require I have this as a separate label on each unit? Thanks again!
Hello, at the outset, I would like to thank you for all this valuable information. I have a question that I hope you have the answer to. My English is not good to understand all things, but I already have goods and I would like to sell them. The problem is not that I get a barcode from GS1, but the products have a manufacturing barcode from the company. The manufacturer and my question here is, can I sell these products on amazon after creating listing and get fnsku code can i cover or remove the existing codes on the products and replace them with the code that I get from Amazon fnsku , or can I easily create a list of products by using the factory codes, or do I have to obtain a permit from the factory to sell the products now Answer me please I feel lost thanks
Hello, you're welcome. If you're reselling branded products, then you must use the UPC barcode that's on the packaging. You have to list your product on the existing listing for the product. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
@@CrescentKao thank you sir for your respone and answering on my quastion finally found the person who give me the answer that i search for long time 🫡🙌
Kao, I see videos where people use 500 px. I use Affinity Designer. Would it be better to use Inches as you said. To design my FNSKU labels? I will be printing it on the Rollo Thermal label machine. Thanks. walt
I am having so many problems with Amazon. I listed my product but my product picture is not showing. Also, I want it to be displayed on the Amazon site in the future, But somehow it is already showing. And it says: Out of Stock. When I call, I get people who have accents and I can not understand them. Thanks for your help.
Hi Crescent, Do you have a video on transaction reconciliation? I’ve reconciled but have a discrepancy as if Amazon short paid me but I,m not sure. Any videos you recommend?
Hi, would it be better to have my package designer embed the FNSKU barcode into the box design rather than having the supplier put the sticker on the box? thanks
Hello. Yes, that would be the cheapest option. I believe I went over that in the video. This also goes over it: ruclips.net/video/lcGHgplGkbY/видео.html
I am been trying to get our private label product to be listed on Amazon but we have been having error messages before they can move forward with accepting our product. Please, i need a clearer understanding on what to do? How do we contact you?
Hi Crescent, thank you for this Video. I paid for UPC code today after watching one of your videos. I had to buy the UPC ranging from 1-100 because I have different products with different sizes and colors. I tried adding a product on GS1 website to obtain the barcode but it is asking for a brand name. I currently don't have a brand registered on Amazon as I am a newbie to this FBA process, I don't plan registering a brand not until I start making reasonable income from it. Please what should I do in a situation I don't have a registered brand on Amazon. What should I do on GS1 website to obtain the barcode since I don't have a brand name. Thanks for your response
You’re welcome! You don’t need a registered trademark to buy the barcodes. Just use whatever name/brand/business name you plan to sell your products under. Make something up.
Crescent maybe you or someone on here can help me out with some solutions. I sent in my inventory to fulfillment,it was available for sale in 3 days. It was two variations I sent in. But I went in and changed a image then I mistakenly changed the start date for one of them ,now this item is inactive out of stock. When I got in touch with support they tell me it's still in transit inbound. But that's not the case because the other unit is for sale... Also if I click on the unit that says out of stock and view it on Amazon. It's available on Amazon it doesn't say item not available on Amazon if someone would search for it and find it. So just curious if anyone had this happen to them and what they did to get the missing inventory active again on the dashboard? Thanks
I watched this video and cut off the bottom half of the FNSKU, leaving just the bar code and FNSKU #. I then had the printer print it directly on my packaging. Which cost hundreds. Now I see that I DO have to have the condition NEW and product name on the FNSKU barcode bottom half. Do I need to reorder all my packaging again with the FNSKU # and bar code AND the bottom text words NEW and product description on the FNSKU? Can I get away with all the product packaging I already had printed that only has the bar code and FNSKU # ? This product is branded does that matter?
Hey man thanks for the great content. Do I need a different barcode if I’m selling a product with different color variations? What if I decide to do bundles ? Thanks!
Hello. Thank you so much for every information!! Im watching all these videos to learn how to label and there is still a question i have. If you answer it i would be so thankful! So i make my own products. I have a clothing brand. And i made boxes with my brand's name on it. So i wanna send my product on their own boxes. when i send them should i tape each box? Wont amazon want to see whats in it? Or should i leave it open. And with barcodes, I bought upc numbers online. When i send those boxes will i only put labels of Fnsku? no need to show upc? In anywhere?Or should i put somewhere in my clothes :) i am so confused. It may sound silly but please help! :)
Hello! You're welcome. This goes over the packaging and labeling requirements: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html You can tape it if you want. I suggest you put something over the lid like a sticker tab. Only 1 barcode can be on each unit. I suggest putting the FNSKU.
@@CrescentKao I’m trying to import the skus into that software, but it wants to print all the skus on one single sticker, can’t it just optimize for multiple skus?
Can I leave the Manufacturer's UPC on the product if I put the product into a plastic bag and its own box (and label the box with the FNSKU) before shipping to FBA? Or do I need to remove the UPC from the actual product before shipping?
Great content! What barcode do I need to have on the product packaging if I want to sell on Amazon FBA and in my own shop on Shopify (shipping products directly from Amazon's warehouse)? I understand that there can only be one barcode on the packaging.
I'm glad you found it helpful! If you're not selling on a different marketplace that requires the UPC or their own barcode (such as at brick and mortar stores), then the only barcode you need on your units is the Amazon FNSKU barcode. This goes over it : ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Hi Crescent. thanks for the great video yet again! off topic but I am really struggling with finding out when to create my brand name and logo. should I do this before my very first order or wait until I have started to make profits of amazon FBA?
Hello, you're welcome! I'm glad you find value in the content! If you plan to do private label, you should do it right away so that you can use your brand and logo on your product and product listing. You can also registered it and apply for Brand Registry. This goes over everything step by step: ruclips.net/video/cOE8dnhRAxE/видео.html
You are missing one barcode requirement, which is the item condition. Might have been not relevant before, but now it is. You might want to add this - thanks for your great video
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, the guidelines say that the condition is required but Amazon doesn't do anything if you don't have it on there. All they do is scan the barcode just like the branded products and the manufacturer UPC barcode. They don't put the condition on there.
Thanks for the vid. I noticed you said about the issues and headaches of GTIN exemptions. I already have my GTIN exemption for my product and didn't have any issues getting it. Would you still suggest using a GS1 barcodes over this GTIN exemption or should I just not use the GTIN exemption and not require a barcode to set up my listing? Thanks again for the video was very helpful
You're welcome! I'm happy to hear that you found it helpful! Yes, I suggest just going with a GS1 barcode to future proof your product and avoid any headaches that come with using an exemption.
I watch your video before when I was studying the FBA seller account details. Now I started doing it for real, and all is good but for the FNSKU print it was giving the number starting with B. After I changed it to Fulfillment by Amazon in settings still gives the number starting with B. My brand is registered with Amazon. Could that be the reason?
I’m the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter if it changed from a B to an X just as long as you changed the listing to use the Amazon barcode. If you’re really worried about it, create a new listing and reuse the same barcode and choose Amazon barcode from the beginning.
@@CrescentKao Actually that was my product's ASIN and I used the legitimately purchased GS1 UPS at the original listing. I talked with Amazon Seller Support, and I was told sometimes the system assign that, and it is OK to have the ASIN with the FNSKU. They also sent me a confirming email. I guess I will go along with it.
@@CrescentKao Amazon Seller Support also gave the same advice and told me to make a new listing with the same ASIN using a new SKU. I did that and it is fine now.Thx
If I am printing labels for say 20 separate individual items how would I get them to just print all on the same page? I don't care about editing the labels in this case but it will only let me print one at a time which is very wasteful with label paper.
You can create a template in Illustrator or Photoshop or use Avery’s label printing software and follow these instructions: www.avery.com/help/template-help/how-do-i-type-a-different-address-on-each-label-using-avery-design-print
ohhh so i dont need to buy barcode if im doing wholesale? I was watchiing so many videos about barcodes lol. So when im making shipping plan I can just use manufacture and it will be my products im selling?
Correct. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html Creating a shipping plan has nothing to do with the barcode or manufacturer. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/видео.html
Thank you so much for your awesome information. I watched your video and I noticed I have a barcode that starts with a "B". I sold anything yet, as my product is still in the process of being manufacture. I went into settings and changed it to Amazon barcode. I was on the phone with Amazon over an hour and they told me to create a new listing and then delete the first one, but that didn't work. It actually just duplicated my product with the same barcode #s. Please let me know what I can do. Should I delete the first listing and then a create a new listing? Your help is appreciated.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. You try deleting the original listing and creating a new one using the same UPC and SKU but choosing Amazon Barcode option when you create the listing.
Hi Crescent, thanks a lot for this! I watched your other label video yesterday and you suggested this video to me. A couple questions. Since I dont have a printer and am just becoming familiar with Amazon I'm still trying this stuff out so will try to print out these labels at the library or something, else I could just test for myself. 1. If I'm sending different books to Amazon at diff times will the label be the same each time (ie to identify the seller) or will it be different each time (to identify the book). I assume the latter and therefore different labels but wanted to verify. I ask because if I goto the library and print when I'm just selling a book or two I guess the hope is that only a small part of the page gets printed on? 2. You mentioned different sizes available on Avery. What size would you recommend to put on books? I assume we put these directly onto the books, not on a box? 3. How long would Avery take to deliver the labels do you know?
Hello! You're welcome! 1) The FKNSKU will never change (or extremely rarely). The shipping labels will always be different. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html 2) Whatever size you want, as long as its scannable and readable. Just use the same label to cover of the existing barcode on the book. 3) No idea. Buy them from your local Office Max if you're in a hurry or from Amazon.
Good day, just confirming, does it need to say made in China on the bag that my product is in, even tho my product has a lable on it the away made in China?
@CrescentKao thanks for the reply, still alittle confused for my application. Im selling 5 gallon fabric grow bags that have my complete product lables with made in China, plastic stabled to them for easy removal before use. I'm not entirely sure but from the research I've done, fabrics have to be in a bag with a label, so just wandering if I have to put made in China on the plastic bag that my grow bags are in?
@@ccoinchris1905You're welcome. Like I said, the country of origin needs to be on the product itself or on the packaging. The link to the US Customs website also describes where and how it needs to appear on the product: "Where should the marking be located? The marking should be located in a conspicuous place. It need not be in the most conspicuous place, but it must be where it can be seen with a casual handling of the article. Markings must be in a position where they will not be covered or concealed by subsequent attachments or additions. The marking must be visible without disassembling the item or removing or changing the position of any parts. "
Great video. If I am selling my private-label product that is not similar to anyone else's, would you still recommend FNSKU or just UPC? I am trying to minimize time and print one label on the packaging. We only sell online. Amazon, eBay, Walmart. If I print the UPC I could use one design for all stores. If I use FNSKU I would need special prints for Amazon or pay someone to apply the labels. Which would you recommend in this situation?

You’re welcome, I’m glad you found the video helpful! And thanks for taking a moment to leave me your feedback, I appreciate it! Keep hustling!
Very helpful video,
I've previously contacted Amazon support inquiring about custom FNSKU labels both 2"x3" and 4"x6" to which they've responded with the usual copied and pasted Amazon requirements with absolutely no mention of whether either custom or proposed dimensions are acceptable or not, I've also included proposed examples without luck.
I assume yours has been tried and tested successfully to be deemed acceptable.
Many thanks, kudos for the great work!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Thanks.
Would you know if a larger size (4"x6") custom designed with brand/logo label with proportionate / to scale FNSKU barcode about 3" wide, (no skewing or distortion) would be acceptable?
Thanks you so much. It is really helpful to me.

Glad you found value in the video!
You are highly appreciated with this teaching. A lot of things to learn here in Amazon. I want to find out if I must delete listing to enable the Amazon barcode to show the FNSKU? Must I delete and reduce a new listings to enable the FNSKU for Amazon barcode to show or do I not delete it but create a new listings? Need your advice. Appreciated
I'm glad you found value in the content! If the FNSKU isn't showing, it doesn't matter as long as you've chosen to use the Amazon barcode option. If you really want it to print out the FNSKU on the label (X0 vs B0), then you'll have to delete the listing, wait 24-48hours and create the listing again using the same UPC and SKU.
@@CrescentKao Thank you in deed. I will delete the listing. I thought that I know everything already. I do not want to pay for labeling these products. One more quick question; is the Amazon system going to assign me the same ASIN? As you know that is generated and assigned as we create listings.
Hi Crescent, Grad student here and a budding amazon seller. Thank you for this. I was freaking out. I had no idea I needed to label all units nor where to even start on my FBA journey. This amazon thing is hard but we are so grateful for you. You gained a new subscriber.
Q1: How can I have the private label company place the FNSKU on the products, is it ok to send the FNSKU to them? To save me from labeling them for the next shipment?
Congrats on starting your Amazon journey! I suggest watching this. It goes over everything step by step: ruclips.net/video/fLdPcTVkQz8/видео.html
you video was very good
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful!
I am sending my products from home I didn’t send my products to Amazon so how and what kind barcode I should use please
Hi Crescent, Thanks for the barcode update. My understanding is to have the FNSKU barcode on each product as you said, and need to have UPC for the initial product listing, but should not show on the product packaging.
Hello! You're welcome! Correct. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
@@CrescentKao Thanks
@@johnz7239 You’re welcome!
Hello! In order to get the FNSKU, can I use the manufacturer bar code or should I buy one?
I read that we need to use a thermal printer or minimum laser, but if i heard this right, if we get the mentioned paper in this video we can print them from a normal inkjet printer at home?
You do not
Hi,how are you, amazing vedio. No one in youtube mentioned that specific information about amazon barcode and manufactor barcode.
I don't know about fhis before this vedio. Thank you.
BUT I have a question. When I printed FNSKU LABEL it come with B0 ,NOT X0, and I followed the instruction to change it to Amazon barcode. But nothing changes. Tha FNSKU still started with B0. WHAT I can do to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and effort 👌 🎉
Hello! You're welcome. I'm glad you found the content helpful. You can just leave the FNSKU as is and us the B0 one, there's nothing wrong with that, or you can delete the listing and create a new one using the same UPC and SKU to update it.
Hi Cresent, I changed my default Amazon Barcode Preference Setting to Amazon (was merchant) But when I go to download it still shows the ASIN under the barcode.. Will it take some time for the changes to take? Its been about 30 minutes. Thanks
Hello. It doesn't matter if the label shows the ASIN or the FNSKU number. If you changed the setting, then you're good to go. If you're really worried about it, you can delete the listing and create a new one using the same UPC barcode and SKU, that should change the label to show the FNSKU.
Hi Crescent, your videos are full of helpful content, I really appreciate that.
I do have a question if I am sending 1000 units to amazon warehouse do I need 1000 FNSKU labels to put on each unit or I can just put one on the box?
Hello! I'm glad you're finding value in the content! Every unit needs to have the barcode on it. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
Do we also have to have 0.25 inches of white space around the fnskus labels? How do we achieve this when we download the barcode what dimensions should we tell Amazon so we can then add make in China and make sure it's 0.25 all away around.
Yes, but Amazon isn't too strict on this. As I went over in the video, as long as it's scannable and readable, it's good to go. If you download the barcode, you can use it as is by printing it out. If you're going to customize it like I showed in the video, then you can make it whatever size you want, you're not telling Amazon anything.
Thanks your videos really helping a lot. So I have one question, will you please let me know. I am in the middle of designing my package. Can I make the FNSKU little shorter in width? Also can I remove the texts below the barcode? Or it has to be like that? I will be much appreciated if you let me know this. Thanks
You're welcome! As I mentioned in the video, as long as the barcode is scanable and the text is readable by a human, you can make it whatever size you want.
@@CrescentKao thank uou so much! It is very helpful now. I am gonna make my FNSKU smaller to fit my label by .6inch high and 1.3 inch width now. So this is ok, correct? But all word will be visible. Will be much appreciated again.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm really glad I found your channel. I do have a question. Have you ever used tracking labels for children's items? I'm wondering if they actually have to be printed on the package.
You're welcome! I'm glad you find value in the content. The tracking label must be permanently affixed to the packaging and product.
I meant to ask you if adding the warning icon to our fnsku labels and the text, what dimensions would you recommend we save this in Canva if we intend to print on a 2 by 1 label on thermal printer? Thanks
I don’t know. You’ll have to try it and see for yourself.
What dimensions should I resize this to be able to print on a thermal printer on a 2 by 1 label.?
Hi and thank you so much for your video.
I am a bit confused, do I have to buy both Amazon barcode and Gs1 Barcode?
Or can I use the barcode which is already on the product for listening and then choose fnsku after
Thank you
Hello! You're welcome. You need a UPC barcode in order to create a product listing. You can use/put the UPC barcode on your units but like I stated in the video, I suggest using/putting the FNSKU on each unit instead.
These are the Amazon barcode requirements according to Seller Central. You seem to say that the Product name and item condition are not required?
Amazon barcode requirements
When printing Amazon barcodes onto labels, make sure that the printed labels include:
Sufficient white space around the Amazon barcode and related text: (0.25 inch on the sides and 0.125 inch on the top and bottom)
ASIN or FNSKU
Product name
Item condition
That's correct. Unless you have some specific reason not to put them on there, like for design or cosmetic reasons on a custom designed package, I would put it on there.
Question... why not just print the FNSKU on the box when you design your custom packaging for boxes only going only to Amazon? Is there an advantage to have the FNSKU on stickers?
Sure, you can do that too: ruclips.net/video/lcGHgplGkbY/видео.html
The option for me to choose barcode type does not show up. Neither does the convert only page. I manually changed it but my fnsku still starts with a BO
Hi!! Loved this video! Can’t thank you enough for all your valuable knowledge and info. Question if you don’t mind please. Does every single unit need a “made in China” sticker or just the big box with all the units inside? Thank you!!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful! Every unit needs to have it.
@@CrescentKao Hi!! Thank you so much for replaying!! Should I do what you did in the video and add it to the FNSKU? Amazon will accept that?? Thank you Crescent!!
Im into wholesaling...Ngbyou say theres alrwdy manufavturer code or upc in the product...but howwould yyou change the pruce if the upc code has its own price?
The price isn’t on the barcode.
I have different colors of my product and im wondering can i just print labels off amazon for each of them or do I need to go to GS1 and pay for them? please help!
Are you doing private label? You can't create a listing without having/buying a UPC barcode first so there's no way for you to print anything without a listing: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
You're saying its better to put the FNSKU on everything but that means to involve a prep center and more money and shipping...?
No, you’re required to put the barcode label on every unit already. Just use the FNSKU instead of the UPC.
Hey thanks for your video. I heard how you need a suffocation warning on the poly bag. If my product is put in plastic and then put in custom packaging box . Do I need to put the suffocation warning on the plastic or can I put it on the packaging
The plastic is open mouth btw. Meaning it does not close you just slide the product out of it.
The warning label must be on the bag. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Thanks for making this video! Question: You say the only requirement is the barcode itself & the FNSKU be on the label. I'm not able to verify this information through Amazon, and have been told that the product title and the condition need to be included as well (by another seller). I know I have personally purchased FBA products that only have the barcode and FNSKU printed on their packaging. Where can we verify Amazon's policy on this? (I want to make sure this won't create any problems before printing in this way on our product's packaging). Thanks again!
You're welcome! Amazon's guideline says it must have ll the info on the label but like you said, sellers haven't adhered to it without any issues. Links to the labeling guidelines are in the video description.
hey crescent, great video.
i have question: suppose i am shipping 50 units of a product to Amazon FBA, so, will I get 1 common FNSKU for all 50 units, or will there be a different FNKSU code for each unit?
Hello! I'm glad you found value in the video! That's correct, the same barcode goes on all the units of the same product. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
I have had some recent shipments to FBA flagged for the ASIN sticker not including the condition, in my case "NEW". This is despite using such labels without NEW on them for years. May be a new crackdown or tight interpretation of TOS? I wonder if they ever expect NEW on a product where the FNSKU barcode is printed on the retail package (not a label)?
Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience. I've never run in to this issue either and I've never had anyone else report that they have either until now. Amazon might be starting to be more strict on enforcing this on the label or they just had a worker that is too "by the book" that processed your inventory. What action are they making you do?
@@CrescentKao no action required, but they ding the related performance metric. Once they dinged me for that issue alone. Recently they dinged me primarily for a label that was "too glossy" (was glossy vinyl material type) and also mentioned about the missing condition. Funny thing about the label, they checked in 50 units, all prepped the identical way, but 15 were deemed unscannable.
Thanks for your reply. Just one last question when sending to Amazon FBA for private label is it true that we only need the fnsku labels on each unit?
You're welcome. Yes, this goes over it: ruclips.net/video/3DtbcEtgjjw/видео.html
What should i do if Amazon says "This SKU is already assigned a barcode preference", and won't allow me to switch it to an amazon barcode (Even though my product is not already on amazon)
You can delete the listing an create a new one using the same UPC and SKU. Just make sure you changed the barcode preference to Amazon Barcode in your account settings first.
Hi, I have a question about if you need the made in china label. Is it mandatory for all FNSKU?
Hello. The country of origin is a requirement by US Customs, not Amazon. It has nothing to do with Amazon or the FNSKU. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Hey crescent if i choose box for my product so should i put suffocation warning on it or not just so confused about suffocation warning on printing label please advise
The suffocation warning goes on plastic bags.
I have one question plz;
If sending a box of 100 T-shirt to Amazon, but are different in sizes and colours, do I have to buy 100 different barcodes, or I can just print 100 of the same barcode and put 1 on each package
Every unique product needs its own unique UPC barcode. This goes over it:
ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
Hi there! so i was wondering if i can just use a UPC code printed on my product instead of FNSKU for my product?
Hello. As I said in the video, you can use the manufacturer barcode but you shouldn't. You should use the FNSKU. This video goes over it more in detial: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
Hello! In order to get the FNSKU, can I use the manufacturer bar code or should I buy one? thanks
Hello. If you’re doing private label, you have to buy a UPC barcode. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
@@CrescentKao Thanks! :)
@@terraoildedoterra3115 no sweat!
Crescent, just to confirm, if I will sell private label I can use the GTIN code I bought on GS1, right?, as it is unique code it won't be I mix with any other product. I already printed the labels with that code... For the future I'll use the FNSKU even though I think use the GS1 code is better if we plan to sell in the future in other places, isn't?
Hello! No. You want to put the FNSKU on each of your units. If you don’t want to reprint the labels then on the next batch, use the FNSKU.
Do I need a UPC bar code if my product has been sold on Amazon before? I've created my 1st listings of products that consisted of used books and clearance items and did NOT use a UPC to do so. Im so nervous that i did incorrectly. I'm thinking I only need a UPC code if I'm selling my OWN brand or something of the sort. Can you please clarify? TIA
If you are doing arbitrage or reselling/wholesaling and the product itself already has manufacturers barcode on it, then no, you can use the existing barcode and Amazon listing.
I purchased barcodes from GS1, but do we still need to use FNSKU for the shipment? Or should I use the FNSKU for the shipment and not spend money on GS1?
This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/3DtbcEtgjjw/видео.html
Hello sir I have the same problèmes for adding products on amazon there is always erreur messages hope to guide me thank you ?
Hello. What error?
Hi Crescent, I have been using GS1 barcode for my product(my brand) for FBA. what happen to the stock in the FBA centre if I change the manufacturer barcode to FNSKU for a new batch of shipping? thank you for your answer in advance! your video contents is really great!
Hello. Nothing changes. Just put the FNSKU barcode on your units instead of the UPC.
Hey Crescent, fantastic video as usual! You've become an indispensable resource for me as I navigate the rules/guidelines and requirements of FBA.
The barcode editing/customizing tutorial in this video is especially a lifesaver!
Quick Question regarding that: Im selling a set of items as a single unit, and FBA rules require that I label each unit as a set with phrases such as "Sold as Set". Can I add this phrase under the barcode similar to how you added the warning logo/phrase in the video? This way it doesn't have to be a separate label. Would this be okay or does FBA require I have this as a separate label on each unit?
Thanks again!
Hey! I'm glad you found value in the video! Yes, you can stick them all on a single label.
@@CrescentKao Gotcha - thanks Crescent!
You're welcome!
Honestly and he is there to respond right away!
I waste my 5 Avery pages( fnsku), but I'm not able to print on regular page. Plz help.mhe
You can do test prints with regular paper before you put the label sheets in the printer.
If I had 20 items that are the same would I have to edit the barcode 20 times or do I edit once ?
The same barcode goes on products that are the same. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html
hey crescent, I have a private-label product with my own GS1 UPC barcode. do I need to print and stick fnsku on that?
Hello! Yes, I suggest that you do.
Hello, at the outset, I would like to thank you for all this valuable information. I have a question that I hope you have the answer to. My English is not good to understand all things, but I already have goods and I would like to sell them. The problem is not that I get a barcode from GS1, but the products have a manufacturing barcode from the company. The manufacturer and my question here is, can I sell these products on amazon after creating listing and get fnsku code can i cover or remove the existing codes on the products and replace them with the code that I get from Amazon fnsku , or can I easily create a list of products by using the factory codes, or do I have to obtain a permit from the factory to sell the products now Answer me please I feel lost thanks
Hello, you're welcome. If you're reselling branded products, then you must use the UPC barcode that's on the packaging. You have to list your product on the existing listing for the product. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/видео.html

Hello. You can download your sales report from the Reports page.
I thought we can only use barcode through gs1?
That’s correct. That’s what I said in the video.
Hi, would it be better to have my package designer embed the FNSKU barcode into the box design rather than having the supplier put the sticker on the box? thanks

I am been trying to get our private label product to be listed on Amazon but we have been having error messages before they can move forward with accepting our product. Please, i need a clearer understanding on what to do? How do we contact you?
Hello, sorry to hear that you're having problems. All of my contact details are in the video description as well as on my website: www.crescentkao.com
Hi Crescent, thank you for this Video. I paid for UPC code today after watching one of your videos. I had to buy the UPC ranging from 1-100 because I have different products with different sizes and colors. I tried adding a product on GS1 website to obtain the barcode but it is asking for a brand name. I currently don't have a brand registered on Amazon as I am a newbie to this FBA process, I don't plan registering a brand not until I start making reasonable income from it. Please what should I do in a situation I don't have a registered brand on Amazon. What should I do
on GS1 website to obtain the barcode since I don't have a brand name. Thanks for your response
You’re welcome! You don’t need a registered trademark to buy the barcodes. Just use whatever name/brand/business name you plan to sell your products under. Make something up.
@@CrescentKao thank you so much. 🙏
Crescent maybe you or someone on here can help me out with some solutions. I sent in my inventory to fulfillment,it was available for sale in 3 days. It was two variations I sent in. But I went in and changed a image then I mistakenly changed the start date for one of them ,now this item is inactive out of stock. When I got in touch with support they tell me it's still in transit inbound. But that's not the case because the other unit is for sale... Also if I click on the unit that says out of stock and view it on Amazon. It's available on Amazon it doesn't say item not available on Amazon if someone would search for it and find it. So just curious if anyone had this happen to them and what they did to get the missing inventory active again on the dashboard? Thanks
You're going to have to get seller support help you with this.
I watched this video and cut off the bottom half of the FNSKU, leaving just the bar code and FNSKU #. I then had the printer print it directly on my packaging. Which cost hundreds. Now I see that I DO have to have the condition NEW and product name on the FNSKU barcode bottom half. Do I need to reorder all my packaging again with the FNSKU # and bar code AND the bottom text words NEW and product description on the FNSKU? Can I get away with all the product packaging I already had printed that only has the bar code and FNSKU # ? This product is branded does that matter?
Amazon doesn’t really enforce that rule. If you’re worried about it then add it back on your next batch.
@@CrescentKao Thank you so very much for responding.
Hey man thanks for the great content. Do I need a different barcode if I’m selling a product with different color variations? What if I decide to do bundles ? Thanks!

So i make my own products. I have a clothing brand. And i made boxes with my brand's name on it. So i wanna send my product on their own boxes. when i send them should i tape each box? Wont amazon want to see whats in it? Or should i leave it open. And with barcodes, I bought upc numbers online. When i send those boxes will i only put labels of Fnsku? no need to show upc? In anywhere?Or should i put somewhere in my clothes :) i am so confused. It may sound silly but please help! :)
Hello! You're welcome. This goes over the packaging and labeling requirements: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
You can tape it if you want. I suggest you put something over the lid like a sticker tab. Only 1 barcode can be on each unit. I suggest putting the FNSKU.
@@CrescentKao Thank you very much!!!
@@busraguzelses5207 you’re welcome!
This looks like you are printing for one SKU, what if you have multiple unique SKU's how do you use that software then?
Print each one on a separate sheet?
@@CrescentKao I’m trying to import the skus into that software, but it wants to print all the skus on one single sticker, can’t it just optimize for multiple skus?
Can I leave the Manufacturer's UPC on the product if I put the product into a plastic bag and its own box (and label the box with the FNSKU) before shipping to FBA? Or do I need to remove the UPC from the actual product before shipping?
As long as only one barcode is visible on the outermost packaging.
What if your product is made by you and you are in Australia? Can you put "Made in Australia"?? or is it just easier to put "Made in China"
Don’t lie. Put the country it was manufactured at.
Thank you very much for your video, it is very helpful! If I have already got a GTIN exemption for my product, am I able to add the UPC barcode to it?
No need to add upc if u have gtin exemption
Great content! What barcode do I need to have on the product packaging if I want to sell on Amazon FBA and in my own shop on Shopify (shipping products directly from Amazon's warehouse)? I understand that there can only be one barcode on the packaging.
I'm glad you found it helpful! If you're not selling on a different marketplace that requires the UPC or their own barcode (such as at brick and mortar stores), then the only barcode you need on your units is the Amazon FNSKU barcode. This goes over it : ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html

@@CrescentKao Great! Thanks Crescent
You are missing one barcode requirement, which is the item condition. Might have been not relevant before, but now it is. You might want to add this - thanks for your great video
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, the guidelines say that the condition is required but Amazon doesn't do anything if you don't have it on there. All they do is scan the barcode just like the branded products and the manufacturer UPC barcode. They don't put the condition on there.
Thanks for the vid. I noticed you said about the issues and headaches of GTIN exemptions. I already have my GTIN exemption for my product and didn't have any issues getting it. Would you still suggest using a GS1 barcodes over this GTIN exemption or should I just not use the GTIN exemption and not require a barcode to set up my listing? Thanks again for the video was very helpful
You're welcome! I'm happy to hear that you found it helpful! Yes, I suggest just going with a GS1 barcode to future proof your product and avoid any headaches that come with using an exemption.
@@CrescentKao Perfect cheers will do that
I watch your video before when I was studying the FBA seller account details. Now I started doing it for real, and all is good but for the FNSKU print it was giving the number starting with B. After I changed it to Fulfillment by Amazon in settings still gives the number starting with B. My brand is registered with Amazon. Could that be the reason?
I’m the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter if it changed from a B to an X just as long as you changed the listing to use the Amazon barcode. If you’re really worried about it, create a new listing and reuse the same barcode and choose Amazon barcode from the beginning.
@@CrescentKao Actually that was my product's ASIN and I used the legitimately purchased GS1 UPS at the original listing. I talked with Amazon Seller Support, and I was told sometimes the system assign that, and it is OK to have the ASIN with the FNSKU. They also sent me a confirming email. I guess I will go along with it.
@@CrescentKao Amazon Seller Support also gave the same advice and told me to make a new listing with the same ASIN using a new SKU. I did that and it is fine now.Thx
@@johnz7239 that’s great! Glad you got it figured out!
If I am printing labels for say 20 separate individual items how would I get them to just print all on the same page? I don't care about editing the labels in this case but it will only let me print one at a time which is very wasteful with label paper.
You can create a template in Illustrator or Photoshop or use Avery’s label printing software and follow these instructions:

Thank you so much for your awesome information. I watched your video and I noticed I have a barcode that starts with a "B". I sold anything yet, as my product is still in the process of being manufacture. I went into settings and changed it to Amazon barcode. I was on the phone with Amazon over an hour and they told me to create a new listing and then delete the first one, but that didn't work. It actually just duplicated my product with the same barcode #s. Please let me know what I can do. Should I delete the first listing and then a create a new listing? Your help is appreciated.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. You try deleting the original listing and creating a new one using the same UPC and SKU but choosing Amazon Barcode option when you create the listing.
Hi Crescent, thanks a lot for this! I watched your other label video yesterday and you suggested this video to me.
A couple questions. Since I dont have a printer and am just becoming familiar with Amazon I'm still trying this stuff out so will try to print out these labels at the library or something, else I could just test for myself.
1. If I'm sending different books to Amazon at diff times will the label be the same each time (ie to identify the seller) or will it be different each time (to identify the book). I assume the latter and therefore different labels but wanted to verify. I ask because if I goto the library and print when I'm just selling a book or two I guess the hope is that only a small part of the page gets printed on?
2. You mentioned different sizes available on Avery. What size would you recommend to put on books? I assume we put these directly onto the books, not on a box?
3. How long would Avery take to deliver the labels do you know?
Hello! You're welcome! 1) The FKNSKU will never change (or extremely rarely). The shipping labels will always be different. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
2) Whatever size you want, as long as its scannable and readable. Just use the same label to cover of the existing barcode on the book.
3) No idea. Buy them from your local Office Max if you're in a hurry or from Amazon.
@@CrescentKao Thanks! So the FNSKU is identifying the seller, not the book? That's surprising. But just wanted to clarify.
Hello, if I have the same items but different styles or colors do I have to buy different upc for each color or style please tell me No!
Hello! Yes. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
Good day, just confirming, does it need to say made in China on the bag that my product is in, even tho my product has a lable on it the away made in China?
Hello. It must be on the product or packaging: www.cbp.gov/trade/rulings/informed-compliance-publications/marking-country-origin-us-imports
@CrescentKao thanks for the reply, still alittle confused for my application. Im selling 5 gallon fabric grow bags that have my complete product lables with made in China, plastic stabled to them for easy removal before use. I'm not entirely sure but from the research I've done, fabrics have to be in a bag with a label, so just wandering if I have to put made in China on the plastic bag that my grow bags are in?
@@ccoinchris1905You're welcome. Like I said, the country of origin needs to be on the product itself or on the packaging. The link to the US Customs website also describes where and how it needs to appear on the product: "Where should the marking be located?
The marking should be located in a conspicuous place. It need not be in the most conspicuous place, but it must be where it can be seen with a casual handling of the article. Markings must be in a position where they will not be covered or concealed by subsequent attachments or additions. The marking must be visible without disassembling the item or removing or changing the position of any parts. "
Great video. If I am selling my private-label product that is not similar to anyone else's, would you still recommend FNSKU or just UPC? I am trying to minimize time and print one label on the packaging. We only sell online. Amazon, eBay, Walmart. If I print the UPC I could use one design for all stores. If I use FNSKU I would need special prints for Amazon or pay someone to apply the labels. Which would you recommend in this situation?
I’m glad you found it helpful. Print the UPC on the package but the units you send to Amazon, cover the UPC with the FNSKU sticker.
@@CrescentKao Thank you for all the great advice!
