Better protection with less packaging? Packaging World’s recent article, Less Packaging, Great Protection with new Amazon-Certified Shipper features how Bullet Tools, a manufacturer of cutting tools for the construction industry, worked with Laminations to find a better packaging solution to improve package integrity and reduce material costs for its e-commerce shipments through Amazon.
The experts at Great Northern Laminations know what it takes to get your packaging certified under Amazon’s strict packaging guidelines. They share four best practices for minimizing your e-commerce packaging and maximizing customer satisfaction in Packaging Strategies’ recent article.
Effective 8/1/19, Amazon will require all packages that exceed 18”x 14”x 8” or greater than 20 lbs. sold through Amazon to comply with its Frustration-Free Packaging program. For those vendors who don’t comply with the new standards, financial penalties will apply. Early adaptors of the new standards will receive financial incentives.
As a member of Amazon’s APASS network, Laminations can assist its distributor partners and their customers with how to comply with Amazon’s new packaging guidelines.
