Amazon prep centers & FBA prep services

You bag for a living. The bag should be the part of the day you never think about.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You run a prep floor. Inventory arrives from a dozen sellers in a dozen states of readiness, and it leaves polybagged, labelled and compliant on a schedule that Amazon sets and you absorb. Your margin is in throughput, so the things that cost you are the things that stop a station: a case that runs out mid-shift, a bag whose seal behaves differently from the last lot, a size you have to substitute because the right one is three days out.

Most suppliers sell you a case. What you actually need is a supply — the same spec, drawn against continuously, at a price that reflects the fact that you will buy it every month for as long as you are in business.

WHAT WE ROUTINELY SOLVE

Real situations we ship against.

If one of these reads like the conversation you had with your team last week, you're in the right place.

You are bagging for a dozen sellers and holding a dozen specs

Standardize on one 1.5 mil FBA-compliant warning bag across every account on the floor, in the sizes you actually use. One spec means one reorder point, one QA standard, and a new hire who learns the station once rather than once per client.

A station ran dry on 9×12 in the middle of a Q4 week

We can quote a standing monthly release against a held inventory with replenishment at a reorder point you set. A truck out of Tijuana reaches a West Coast dock in about a day, so a correction is days rather than the six weeks an ocean container needs.

A seller's units were flagged at the fulfillment center

Our standard is the compliant one: 1.5 mil minimum, printed suffocation warning in English, Spanish and French, vent holes, transparent film, self-seal lip. If a receiving decision ever goes against you, we will give you the spec and lot documentation to take back to the seller.

You want your own mark on the bag

We print. Your SKU, barcode or prep-center mark can run alongside the warning in the same pass, from 50,000 pieces per artwork. Plates are one-time and reused on repeats.

Your volume outgrew buying from a catalog

At pallet quantities you are no longer a retail customer, and the price should say so. We quote off the actual spec and the actual annual draw, not off a published case price with a volume tier bolted on.

WHAT WE'D QUOTE

Our recommended starting point.

Every quote is built from scratch — but these are the products we end up specifying most often for this kind of buyer.

COMPLIANCE WE STAY ON TOP OF

The specs we read so you don't have to.

  • ✓Amazon FBA poly-bag requirements — 1.5 mil minimum, transparent film, scannable barcode on the outside, bag fully sealed
  • ✓Suffocation warning required on any bag with a 5-inch opening or larger, printed or labelled, legible at the bag's size
  • ✓Vent holes so the bag is not itself the hazard
  • ✓CA, NY, MA, VA and RI retail warning statutes for units that also sell off-marketplace
  • ✓Lot and batch traceability on every run
WHY NEARSHORE, FOR YOU

The Tijuana case.

Prep is a throughput business, and throughput does not survive a stockout. A 60–90 day ocean lead means carrying safety stock for a container you cannot hurry; Tijuana cuts the replenishment leg to about a day over the border and a few days to your dock. For a floor that bags every day, the working capital released from safety stock is usually worth more than the difference in unit price.
