Selling on Amazon should be about growing your brand and serving customers.
Instead, many sellers find themselves buried in FBA prep details.
Label placement.
Barcode formats.
FNSKU compliance.
Re-labeling pallets after one small mistake.
That is where ArcWorks comes in. Our labeling and barcoding services are built to fit right into your Amazon FBA prep workflow so you can focus on sales instead of sticker stress.
Why Accurate Labeling and Barcoding Matter for Amazon FBA
Amazon FBA has strict requirements for how every unit, inner pack, and carton must be labeled. If anything is wrong, Amazon may:
- Reject or delay your inbound shipment
- Charge additional prep and labeling fees
- Misplace inventory in the fulfillment center
- Flag your account for non-compliance
For growing brands, even a small error can mean missed sales and added costs. Accurate labeling and barcoding are not “nice to have.” They are essential to protecting your inventory and your Amazon reputation.
ArcWorks helps Amazon sellers meet these requirements with precise, repeatable processes backed by ISO 9001:2015 quality standards.
Common Amazon FBA Labeling Pain Points (and How ArcWorks Fixes Them)
1. FNSKU Labeling Errors
The problem:
FNSKU labels are often applied in the wrong location, on the wrong face of the carton, or not covering all other visible barcodes. This creates confusion at the Amazon fulfillment center and can result in misplaced or stranded inventory.
How ArcWorks helps:
- Apply FNSKU labels to each unit based on Amazon’s placement guidelines
- Ensure all other scannable barcodes are covered when required
- Verify scan quality to reduce misreads at the fulfillment center
- Use standardized work instructions so every run is consistent
Result: Your products arrive ready to scan, reducing delays and extra handling fees.
2. Missing or Incorrect Case and Master Carton Labels
The problem:
Amazon needs clear case labels and master carton labels that match your shipment plan. When those labels are missing or incorrect, boxes may be opened, re-labeled, or rejected.
How ArcWorks helps:
- Print and apply case labels and master carton labels that match your shipment plan
- Confirm carton counts and SKU mixes before labeling
- Use barcode verification to ensure labels are scannable and accurate
Result: Your cartons flow through receiving smoothly instead of being flagged for rework.
3. Confusing Mixed-SKU or Multi-Pack Labeling
The problem:
Multi-packs, bundles, and variety packs can be a labeling nightmare. Sellers are unsure how to mark “Sold as Set” or label inner vs. outer packaging for Amazon FBA.
How ArcWorks helps:
- Create clear labels for sets, bundles, and multi-packs
- Add “Do Not Separate” and “Sold as Set” callouts where needed
- Apply unique barcodes for bundled items so Amazon treats them as one sellable unit
Result: Your bundles arrive at Amazon exactly the way you want customers to receive them.
4. Inconsistent Labeling Across SKUs and Batches
The problem:
As your catalog grows, it is easy to end up with different label layouts, sizes, and positions. This inconsistency increases the risk of errors and slows down your FBA prep.
How ArcWorks helps:
- Standardize label templates and positions across your SKUs
- Maintain documented work instructions for repeat orders
- Use controlled processes that support Amazon FBA requirements and your brand standards
Result: Every shipment looks professional, aligned with your brand, and ready for FBA intake.
5. Limited Time and Staff for Manual Labeling
The problem:
Your team is busy managing inventory, marketing, and customer service. Manually printing and applying thousands of labels takes time away from higher-value work.
How ArcWorks helps:
- Take labeling and barcoding off your plate with scalable labor
- Integrate labeling with kitting, packaging, and Amazon FBA prep services
- Support fast turnarounds so you can send inventory when the market is hot
Result: You keep your team focused on growth while ArcWorks handles the hands-on prep work.
