Nobody explains things, and offers NEW information on the FBA business like you do. One day I will meet you in the circle of millionaires. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this detailed, concise explanation!! It is SO frustrating navigating Amazon to find the answers yourself. This video is better than Amazon. I'm at the process of sending shipment details to my supplier and I was wondering about the FNSKU to go on the label. I didn't know there was a requirement for both the UPC and FNSKU on the product as well as shipment label. Thank you so much for this video.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful! Only the FNSKU or UPC can be on the unit. Not both. Here’s an updated video on this: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html And here’s a video that goes over the labeling requirements: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html
I'm just starting out and have been looking for clear, concise answers to my questions! The answers in this vid being one of them! I can not thank you enough for your simple easy to follow explanations throughout this vid! It's been awesome to watch! It seems every time I ask a question to certain groups that I belong to, more times than not, I get some convoluted answer, having nothing to do with the question at hand! Thanks again for this very important video!
Man I called Amazon Service two times, and they pended me for 5 minutes and they couldn't tell me simply what should I do! I am 3 mins in and I just got my answer! Thank you!!!
You’re amazing! I’m so inspired by your videos. You such a great teacher . The problem is that I already submitted my order as FBM I was not able to print . I’m going to watch video again and follow your steps . I’m suscribe to your channel now You a life saver 😬
Thank you for your input and feedback, I appreciate it! I’m glad you find value in the content. You can change the listing from FBM to FBA or back any time you want. I explain how in the video.
Thanks Crescent for the detailed step by step over the shoulder presentation. Seller Central can be difficult to navigate. Keep up the amazing work you do. It is really appreciated. Bill
Thanks again. This is a helpful video, the only videos I click like on are the actual 'instructional' videos because youtube is saturated with the blah blah blah amazon ideas videos. Thank god for Crescent as many of his videos are instructional. I like the 'Why' videos also. They are important too because we need to know why we should be doing these things, like he said in another video worth watching that its also about 'why', not just 'how'
Thank you for your input and feedback, I appreciate it! I'm happy to hear that you find the videos helpful. This might help you as well with barcodes: th-cam.com/video/eyMI-IJT160/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I'm glad you found the video helpful and I appreciate your input and feedback. If you have any more questions, post them here or in my Facebook group.
You're welcome! Make sure the print out is clear and high resolution with no smudging. As long as the scanner app recognizes the the image as a barcode, then you're good to go. It won't actually link to anything if you're listing isn't live on Amazon. Here's an updated video on this: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html
@@CrescentKao one question Crescent. When printing, do I need to adjust the size of this label to 1x2 inches or can I make this label to a readable size?
Thank you very much. Would you have a video that talks about what those buttons mean? like: copy listing, add another condition, match low price, create removal order and close listing. Perhaps they are explained in seller central once I join? thanks again.
You're welcome. I don't have anything specific. Match low price will set your price to the lowest price of a seller that is selling the same product on your listing (a hijacker). Create removal order allows you to pull units from your inventory and send them to yourself or elsewhere. Close listing is just that, close the listing.
Hi Crescent, I followed your instructions made my first designed label. Yay! Trying to print 44 up FNSKU labels on a laser printer BUT lost formatting with the dimensions with 2"x 1"(48.5mm x 25.4mm). Any ideas, please? How to size and lay the revised label on an A4 paper, please? What label device you are using, please? Is label by the roll? On a letter size? Thanks very much for the great videos!
Hello! I'm glad you found the video helpful! I don't print my own labels, my supplier does. You'll have to figure out what the problem is with your label printer software.
Thank you for helpful information just one thing I did not get if we have one unit, which contains two pcs, so should we put two FNSKU labels on each one or just one FNSKU label on the unit?
Love your videos! However, I do not see the Print item label in the drop-down, and yes, it is set to FBA. I have 20 variations, so is it why it might take longer? I have yet to add any inventory because I want to ensure that my listing is not going live since my product is still in China and awaiting professional images. I have created it because I need to send FNSKU to my vendor. I gathered that's how it works... I am having a hard time with this Amazon system. I watched too many videos, but I finally found your channel today!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Can you please advise if you can from what I described above ;) To add, I do not have UPC's because I have 20 variations. I am avoiding the expense since I don't know if the product will do well for my brand. I did not see anywhere where to apply for the GTIN exemption, so I am frustrated. Please advise.
Hello, I’m glad you’re finding value in the content! If you just switched it to FBA, you may need to wait a couple hours for the listing to update. Otherwise, contact seller support if it still isn’t available. Here’s a new video on this topic: th-cam.com/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/w-d-xo.html And GS1 barcodes only cost $30/ea. You’re creating problems for yourself by getting a GTIN exemption. Here’s a video specifically on how to print the barcode: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UeLLzf_mkqB5bUu4
Thank you so much for this video, it was clear and concise and I was able to follow your instructions to the T. The only thing I’m concerned about is whether or not I should edit the ingredients on the label as it is a topical item. I needed the ingredients for un gating but I’m not sure if all my product need that. Please help 😩
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm not familiar with these types of products and the legality of disclosing the ingredients. I would consult a professional.
Awesome video, Crescent! Thank you. I have a question. Can the manufacturer have the FNSKU printed directly on the product box and does the UPC also have to be on there? Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, you can have the barcode printed on the packaging. Only one barcode can be on each unit. Here's an updated video on this: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html I suggest watching this video too: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html
Great video, quick question however, when should I use Scan & Label? is this only when I'm shipping different SKU in a single package to send to Amazon FBA? or, let's say for example I'm shipping 10 of the same item in a single box, does each item require a FNSKU? what does co-mingle mean?
I’m glad you found it helpful! This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html I suggest watching this too: th-cam.com/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Crescent, you are a hero! One question, the FNSKU never change right? If I labeled my product on the first shipment with the FNSKU I printed, for the next shipment of the same product is going to be the same FNSKU right?
You're welcome! I'm glad you found value in the content. The FNSKU typically will never change. It can in rare occasions so I would double check it every time you create a shipping plan.
Thank you very much for this info! However, when I click 'Print Item Labels', it only shows me the manufacturer barcode; I wonder which step I did wrong or how I should've changed in settings? Once again, thanks for sharing lots of info!
You're welcome! You need to choose Use Amazon Barcode. You can also change the default to always use the Amazon barcode in your Settings in seller central.
Hi Crescent, thank you so much for the clear details. I have one question. Can you still edit the label if you want Amazon to apply it on the boxes? Thank you in advance.
hi, thank you for all your soooo informative videos, they are a great help for beginners as I am. I have a question: what about the UPS barcode? So if I understand it well: first I buy UPS barcode from GS1 and send it to my supplier, he put it on the products and then I send him the FNSKU barcode and ask him to cover with the FNSKU barcode the UPS barcode?
Hello! You're welcome and thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad you find value in the content. No, if you are selling FBA, only the FNSKU needs to go on each unit. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/eyMI-IJT160/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so so much for this info , I have a question I have created my listing already FBM can I get a UPC label ? I forgot to printed before I switch from FBA to FBA
You’re welcome! If you’re switching from FBM to FBA, you can choose the Print Item Labels option in the drop down menu as shown in the video or the option is also there when you create your shipping plan: th-cam.com/video/meB4xYEI8Z0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Crescent, Great content thank you! I've learned a lot from all your videos, question, last FUSKU flow chart video you said both UPC and FNSKU must to go on the outer most packaging, but the Amazon guideline states only FNSKU can be seen, everything else should be covered, I watched all your videos on this topic, nothing says UPC has to be on the packaging as well, could you clarify this please? Appreciate it, keep up the good work!
Hi. I'm new to both your subscription and Amazon seller. I find the whole process extremely confusing. You explain everything in such a concise way. I'm in contact with my manufacturer they have never shipped direct to Amazon. To set up FBA exactly what do I need from them? I understand Amazon can supply the bar code if required what do I need to supply Amazon so they could do this? What else do I need to set up my first FBA product ? Thanks
I would say your videos are the simplest to understand and the easiest to follow. I need the smallest FNSKU on my designed package. My listing does not require a UPS or GTIN, only the FNSKU to my understanding. However, I found my FNSKU label dimension on my designed package does not fit the FNSKU label range. It is now 1X 0.75 inch and was designed for a UPC I believe. What is the smallest FNSKU label I can get, please? Is it 44-up on A4 size paper, please? Looks like I have to redesign the package to fit the label. I am also trying to figure out my HP laser printer for A4 and US letter size. The dimensions are a little confusing for me whenever it comes to inches and lbs. :) Does the laser printer work for the labels or it has to be a thermal printer, please? I am finally going to print my first label today! For the warning label, I have a sentence printed on the product package that says: This is not a toy. " and also I put a " ages 4+" on the product package and "MADE IN CHINA". Can that be used as a warning sign and product origin, please? Or do I have to add them to the label, please? Again, thank you so much for making these great videos!
I'm glad you find value in the content! As long as the barcode is scannable then its ok. The warnings can be printed on the package or stuck on with a sticker: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html
I will make this LOUD and CLEAR to all You Tube viewers. Crescent is the man! He is the ONLY resource you need. His information is clear to understand and right on the money. My success is attributed directly to his teaching. Follow him! You won’t go wrong.
Thank you, James for your feedback and input, I sincerely appreciate it! I’m happy that you find value in the content and I hope you continue to do so.
Thanks a lot for this Crescent. Just a question. Does my manufacturer need to put the FNSKU label +"made in china" on the product itself(ex. a waist trainer) or on the packaging(customized mersh bag)?
You’re welcome. The country of origin needs to be on the product itself or on the packaging. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html
this was really helpful but i just had a couple clarifying questions. When I email the supplier to apply the FNSKU label, is there a template I should use to sound more professional? How would I go about asking them to apply the FNSKU label?
Hello Crescent, great video. I edited and sent the label to my supplier, but he said that I have to put them in the Amazon format (several on one page). Any idea on how to do it?
Hello! I'm glad you found value in the content! You can Photoshop it or use a label printing software. This video goes over it: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for this, very helpful! Quick question though, with the labelling (for private label) do you have to have the UPC code on the physical product if you're going to be putting the amazon label on as well? Or do I just need the UPC so I can create the listing? Amazon will be doing the preparing. Thanks
You’re welcome! Yes, the barcode needs to be on every unit. If you’re doing FBA, put the FNSKU on each unit, not the UPC. You need a UPC to create the listing. If you’re having Amazon do the labeling instead of your supplier, Amazon will charge you $0.20/unit.
Hi Crescent, do you know if we can resize the barcodes? The smallest size that is offered (48.5 mm x 25.4 mm on A4) doesn't fit on my packaging. Can I resize it smaller or any advice? Thanks !
Crescent you are pure gold! Thank you! I have a question for you. We have a small family business and we sell a food product in Europe for three years now. We recently created an amazon uk account. Our products have already EAN codes on their packages cause we are selling in the EU and we have to follow the EU regulations. Do we still need to have FNSkU codes on our products? We are gonna register our brand these days also. And we are trying to design an extra package for our product, something like a sack with our logo on it, just to differentiate from other competitors. Inside the sack the product is ready to be sold as it is. It’s easy for amazon just to pull the sack and see our barcode? The sack will not cover the whole product. Would it be a problem for us? I’m sorry for the long questions.
Crescent Kao thank you! No we don’t have any resellers. We are gonna use our EAN code then. As for the sack I asked you, according to amazon package requirements the barcode and the name of the product must be visible and easy scanning. And it must be on the outer package of the product. So we have to figure out another way to include our sack with the product.
Can you have the warning info and Made in China printed in the back of the polybag and then have the FNSKU label sticker on the front of the polybag in the center?
Thank you so much for this tutorial Crescent, it’s really very useful & easy to understand! Can I ask - is it okay for the FNSKU and ASIN number to be the same for private label FBA? Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found value in it. The FNSKU will be the same as the ASIN if you choose the stickerless/commingle option, but you should switch to use the Amazon barcode, not stickerless/commingled so you’re not commingling you’re inventory and this way a different FNSKU is generated that’s different from the ASIN.
@@CrescentKao omg thank you for your prompt reply, Crescent! I was reading up on that too and I tried to rectify this issue by duplicating the same listing which now produce a different FNSKU. As I have yet to begin sending inventory, can I just delete the initial listing in this case and proceed with the new listing? Thanks in advance!
Great Value Kao.. Simply awesome; I am about to include my first product FNSKU in my package design through Adobe Illustrator, but I was very confused about altering the size, was even thinking to cut the item name may be, if resized barcode cannot be scanned later etc.. YOU HAVE CLEARED IT UP ALL!!! HATS OFF! THANKS A TON!! Just one more thing about the Item Name. It shows the name as per the title you have set in your listing. What if after you download the FNSKU and include in the package design and send to FBA......you need to change the title. Time to time you probably will need to adjust your title, specially for my case when I have just created a listing with mimimal information and have not researching/finalizing my title/keyword yet. Thanks much in advance.
Thanks much Kao for replying. Highly appreciated. But this raises another question :) Can I then modify the name under the barcode to have ONLY few meaningful words. By default, it is probably truncated in between like this "brandA awesome bbq stove w.....woodvhf gffck hyfvkjvv outdoor." Is it ok to use deleting above and use "bbq stove for outdoor". I think yes though... What do you think?
Technically, you're not suppose to change the barcode, ASIN, title and condition. But I don't see why not, as long as the barcode and ASIN are no changed: sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/200141490?language=en-US
Yes. As long as the barcode and FNKSU are on it, you can put whatever you want. Here's an updated video on this: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Kao. A quick question. If I plan on selling dietary supplements and I do not have a package besides the bottle itself. Can I put the FNSKU label into my product label?
Hi Crescent, just a question on once you click on "Change to Fulfilled by Amazon". There are quite few steps after choosing this option. It me to a page that asks if I want to "Accept Label Service" or "Decline Label Service". Naturally I thought "Decline Label Service" as I'm going to forward the labels to my suppliers for them to apply. Then another page comes up. Asking me to "Convert Only" and "Convert & Send Inventory". I think in this case it would be "Convert Only". But because this is my first time, I wanted to make sure I do this correctly. On the "Barcode type" it shows "Merchant Barcode" in the dropdown box by default. I'm guessing since its FNSKU, it would be "Amazon barcode" I needed to choose. Is this correct?
Hi Crescent! For clothes, there is already a "Made in China" on the clothing tags/woven labels. Do I still need to put "Made in China" on my barcode? Thank you!
Hello Boss Hope you are doing fine. thanks for the nice video. I am going to sell teacup which in a paper box. Also inside the box there is a plastic bag covering the teacup. DO I NEED SUFFOCATION WARNING for the plastic bag?? Thanks for reading
I've never had any issues. I've used standard HP inkjet printers and HP laserjet with Avery labels. Here's an updated video on this: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html
I have 100 boxes with 10 items in each box. Question: I have to put the FNSKU label on each item inside the box + on the box or only on the box? Sorry if is a stupid question but I don`t want to make any mistakes. Thank you!
Do you recommend a warehouse to label you product or have Amazon do it. My product already has a 3rd party barcode on the box but I decided to create a new listing and relabel using a GS1. My warehouse charges 0.56 Amazon charges 0.30. Seems like a no brainer but what do you think? BTW great video as always.
Thanks Crescent. This works however when I print it, the quality is poor. I downloaded it from Pixlr as a high-quality JPG but when I print it, it looks like a copy of a copy of a copy if you know what I mean. It must be losing some quality when you take the screen capture and copy that into Pixlr. Is this just an expected byproduct of doing it this way or am I missing something?
I had to design and create a package for my product in order to have my brand approved and amazon approved it. Should i send the exact package design to the manufacturer and have the product packed into them or no need to be the same package that was used to register my brand?
You don't have to use the same design you submitted to Amazon but your packaging should still have your brand and barcode on it: th-cam.com/video/lcGHgplGkbY/w-d-xo.html
If I have Shirts same type but different color can I put two listing with same UPC code or to have two listing I need two UPC even thou product quality is same just different color

Hello, I’m glad you’re finding value in the content! If you just switched it to FBA, you may need to wait a couple hours for the listing to update. Otherwise, contact seller support if it still isn’t available. Here’s a new video on this topic: th-cam.com/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/w-d-xo.html
And GS1 barcodes only cost $30/ea. You’re creating problems for yourself by getting a GTIN exemption.
Here’s a video specifically on how to print the barcode: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UeLLzf_mkqB5bUu4
Thank you so much for this video, it was clear and concise and I was able to follow your instructions to the T. The only thing I’m concerned about is whether or not I should edit the ingredients on the label as it is a topical item. I needed the ingredients for un gating but I’m not sure if all my product need that. Please help 😩
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm not familiar with these types of products and the legality of disclosing the ingredients. I would consult a professional.
Best Content on this subject ever! Thanks a lot

Hello Again Brother, Perfect video man :)
Question here, is it ok to add all three below things in one FNSKU label by editing it?
1. MADE IN CHINA
2. THIS IS A SET - DO NOT SEPARATE
3. SUFFOCATION WARNING
And make a separate label for "READY TO SHIP
" ??
Hello! I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, you can put all that on the same label.

Great video. Is the country of origin mandatory on the FNSKU label even if the product is already in the U.S and is not going through Customs?
I’m glad you found the video helpful! If it’s already I’m stateside then no. It had to be on it upon entry to the US but should remain on the product.
Awesome video, Crescent! Thank you. I have a question. Can the manufacturer have the FNSKU printed directly on the product box and does the UPC also have to be on there? Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, you can have the barcode printed on the packaging. Only one barcode can be on each unit. Here's an updated video on this: th-cam.com/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/w-d-xo.html

Great video, quick question however, when should I use Scan & Label? is this only when I'm shipping different SKU in a single package to send to Amazon FBA? or, let's say for example I'm shipping 10 of the same item in a single box, does each item require a FNSKU? what does co-mingle mean?

Thanks Crescent, you are a hero! One question, the FNSKU never change right? If I labeled my product on the first shipment with the FNSKU I printed, for the next shipment of the same product is going to be the same FNSKU right?
You're welcome! I'm glad you found value in the content. The FNSKU typically will never change. It can in rare occasions so I would double check it every time you create a shipping plan.
Great video ! Question. Can I add designed in USA, made in China on the FNSKU sticker ?
Glad you found it helpful! Yes, you can put whatever you want as long as it doesn't violate Amazon's guidelines.
Great. Thank you so much for your fast reply. You are amazing
@@slim8928 no sweat!

hi, thank you for all your soooo informative videos, they are a great help for beginners as I am. I have a question: what about the UPS barcode? So if I understand it well: first I buy UPS barcode from GS1 and send it to my supplier, he put it on the products and then I send him the FNSKU barcode and ask him to cover with the FNSKU barcode the UPS barcode?
Hello! You're welcome and thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad you find value in the content. No, if you are selling FBA, only the FNSKU needs to go on each unit. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/eyMI-IJT160/w-d-xo.html

One question. If "made in china" is on the box packaging already, does it still need to go on the UPC as well?
I'm glad you find value in the content! The country of origin just needs to be on each unit in one spot.
@@CrescentKao So in one spot on the box with many items, or in one spot on each item in the box. Unclear explanation.
Romek Hanys The FNSKU needs to go on each unit on the outer most packaging: th-cam.com/video/buGBJUsTm5g/w-d-xo.html
Great Video! I also saw the minimum print size requirements on Amazon. Are they strict on that or should I be good as long as it’s legible
Glad you found it helpful. As long as its scannable, you're good to go.
@@CrescentKao Great thank you
Thank you so so much for this info , I have a question I have created my listing already FBM can I get a UPC label ? I forgot to printed before I switch from FBA to FBA
You’re welcome! If you’re switching from FBM to FBA, you can choose the Print Item Labels option in the drop down menu as shown in the video or the option is also there when you create your shipping plan: th-cam.com/video/meB4xYEI8Z0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this vid 🙏🏼. Just one question can you change the writing under fnsku as well , because my doesn’t look very good ? 😬😬😬
Glad you found value in it! Yes you can, as long as the barcode is scannable and unaltered. However, I personally wouldn't change it.
Hi Crescent, Great content thank you! I've learned a lot from all your videos, question, last FUSKU flow chart video you said both UPC and FNSKU must to go on the outer most packaging, but the Amazon guideline states only FNSKU can be seen, everything else should be covered, I watched all your videos on this topic, nothing says UPC has to be on the packaging as well, could you clarify this please? Appreciate it, keep up the good work!
Hello! I’m glad you found value in the content. You must have misunderstood the video and flow chart. Only one barcode is allowed on each unit.
Hi. I'm new to both your subscription and Amazon seller. I find the whole process extremely confusing. You explain everything in such a concise way. I'm in contact with my manufacturer they have never shipped direct to Amazon. To set up FBA exactly what do I need from them? I understand Amazon can supply the bar code if required what do I need to supply Amazon so they could do this? What else do I need to set up my first FBA product ? Thanks
Hello! I’m glad you’re finding value in my content! I suggest watching this video:
th-cam.com/video/fLdPcTVkQz8/w-d-xo.html
I would say your videos are the simplest to understand and the easiest to follow. I need the smallest FNSKU on my designed package. My listing does not require a UPS or GTIN, only the FNSKU to my understanding. However, I found my FNSKU label dimension on my designed package does not fit the FNSKU label range. It is now 1X 0.75 inch and was designed for a UPC I believe. What is the smallest FNSKU label I can get, please? Is it 44-up on A4 size paper, please? Looks like I have to redesign the package to fit the label. I am also trying to figure out my HP laser printer for A4 and US letter size. The dimensions are a little confusing for me whenever it comes to inches and lbs. :)
Does the laser printer work for the labels or it has to be a thermal printer, please?
I am finally going to print my first label today! For the warning label, I have a sentence printed on the product package that says: This is not a toy. " and also I put a " ages 4+" on the product package and "MADE IN CHINA". Can that be used as a warning sign and product origin, please? Or do I have to add them to the label, please?
Again, thank you so much for making these great videos!
I'm glad you find value in the content! As long as the barcode is scannable then its ok. The warnings can be printed on the package or stuck on with a sticker: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html

Thank you, James for your feedback and input, I sincerely appreciate it! I’m happy that you find value in the content and I hope you continue to do so.
Thanks a lot for this Crescent. Just a question. Does my manufacturer need to put the FNSKU label +"made in china" on the product itself(ex. a waist trainer) or on the packaging(customized mersh bag)?
You’re welcome. The country of origin needs to be on the product itself or on the packaging. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/w-d-xo.html

You’re welcome!
this was really helpful but i just had a couple clarifying questions. When I email the supplier to apply the FNSKU label, is there a template I should use to sound more professional? How would I go about asking them to apply the FNSKU label?
This video goes over it and includes an email template: th-cam.com/video/E27_fsNRZGU/w-d-xo.html
Hello Crescent, great video. I edited and sent the label to my supplier, but he said that I have to put them in the Amazon format (several on one page). Any idea on how to do it?

I understand UPC barcodes. My question here is this: Do I need both the UPC barcodes and my ASIN to be added to the product label?
Once I have my edited FNSKU barcode, how do I print the barcode onto labels in bulk? Great video btw!
Glad you're finding value in the content. If you have a label printer, it should come with software.
Crescent Kao is having a label printer the only way? Any other alternatives?
Thank you. One question: when I am done with editing, I save it in PDF?
You can save it in whatever format you'd like but I use JPG.
Hi Cresant. I tried printing in both jpg and pdf format the quality of print was very poor. Could you please help me. What might be the issue.
Thanks for this, very helpful! Quick question though, with the labelling (for private label) do you have to have the UPC code on the physical product if you're going to be putting the amazon label on as well? Or do I just need the UPC so I can create the listing? Amazon will be doing the preparing. Thanks
You’re welcome! Yes, the barcode needs to be on every unit. If you’re doing FBA, put the FNSKU on each unit, not the UPC. You need a UPC to create the listing. If you’re having Amazon do the labeling instead of your supplier, Amazon will charge you $0.20/unit.
@@CrescentKao Thank you for the response! this helps me massively
Hi Crescent, do you know if we can resize the barcodes? The smallest size that is offered (48.5 mm x 25.4 mm on A4) doesn't fit on my packaging. Can I resize it smaller or any advice? Thanks !
Hello. Yes, you can resize it as long as it's still scannable and readable.
If we send the Fnsku to the supplier or our packaging maker, would we still need the gs1 barcodes you speak about in other videos ?
Yes. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/w-d-xo.html
It is only required to have white background? Can I directly print barcode on Kraft Courier Bags that is brown in color?

Omg I loved it . Thank you it’s very informative
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Crescent you are pure gold! Thank you! I have a question for you. We have a small family business and we sell a food product in Europe for three years now. We recently created an amazon uk account. Our products have already EAN codes on their packages cause we are selling in the EU and we have to follow the EU regulations. Do we still need to have FNSkU codes on our products? We are gonna register our brand these days also. And we are trying to design an extra package for our product, something like a sack with our logo on it, just to differentiate from other competitors. Inside the sack the product is ready to be sold as it is. It’s easy for amazon just to pull the sack and see our barcode? The sack will not cover the whole product. Would it be a problem for us? I’m sorry for the long questions.
You're welcome! If you don't have any resellers, then you can use the EAN. Otherwise, I suggest using the FNSKU to prevent comingling.
Crescent Kao thank you! No we don’t have any resellers. We are gonna use our EAN code then. As for the sack I asked you, according to amazon package requirements the barcode and the name of the product must be visible and easy scanning. And it must be on the outer package of the product. So we have to figure out another way to include our sack with the product.
Can you have the warning info and Made in China printed in the back of the polybag and then have the FNSKU label sticker on the front of the polybag in the center?
Yes.
very helpful! thank u.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial Crescent, it’s really very useful & easy to understand! Can I ask - is it okay for the FNSKU and ASIN number to be the same for private label FBA? Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found value in it. The FNSKU will be the same as the ASIN if you choose the stickerless/commingle option, but you should switch to use the Amazon barcode, not stickerless/commingled so you’re not commingling you’re inventory and this way a different FNSKU is generated that’s different from the ASIN.
@@CrescentKao omg thank you for your prompt reply, Crescent! I was reading up on that too and I tried to rectify this issue by duplicating the same listing which now produce a different FNSKU. As I have yet to begin sending inventory, can I just delete the initial listing in this case and proceed with the new listing? Thanks in advance!
@@CrescentKao hi Crescent, this is exactly my question and situation too, please where do i switch to the noncommingle option?

Awesome content as always!
:D
Great Value Kao.. Simply awesome; I am about to include my first product FNSKU in my package design through Adobe Illustrator, but I was very confused about altering the size, was even thinking to cut the item name may be, if resized barcode cannot be scanned later etc..
YOU HAVE CLEARED IT UP ALL!!! HATS OFF! THANKS A TON!!
Just one more thing about the Item Name. It shows the name as per the title you have set in your listing. What if after you download the FNSKU and include in the package design and send to FBA......you need to change the title. Time to time you probably will need to adjust your title, specially for my case when I have just created a listing with mimimal information and have not researching/finalizing my title/keyword yet.
Thanks much in advance.
I'm glad you found this helpful! It doesn't matter what the title says as long as the barcode and ASIN are unaltered.
Thanks much Kao for replying. Highly appreciated.
But this raises another question :)
Can I then modify the name under the barcode to have ONLY few meaningful words. By default, it is probably truncated in between like this "brandA awesome bbq stove w.....woodvhf gffck hyfvkjvv outdoor."
Is it ok to use deleting above and use "bbq stove for outdoor".
I think yes though... What do you think?
Technically, you're not suppose to change the barcode, ASIN, title and condition. But I don't see why not, as long as the barcode and ASIN are no changed:

Hey Kao.
A quick question. If I plan on selling dietary supplements and I do not have a package besides the bottle itself. Can I put the FNSKU label into my product label?
Hello. Yes, it can on on the bottle itself.
Hi Crescent, just a question on once you click on "Change to Fulfilled by Amazon". There are quite few steps after choosing this option. It me to a page that asks if I want to "Accept Label Service" or "Decline Label Service". Naturally I thought "Decline Label Service" as I'm going to forward the labels to my suppliers for them to apply. Then another page comes up. Asking me to "Convert Only" and "Convert & Send Inventory". I think in this case it would be "Convert Only". But because this is my first time, I wanted to make sure I do this correctly. On the "Barcode type" it shows "Merchant Barcode" in the dropdown box by default. I'm guessing since its FNSKU, it would be "Amazon barcode" I needed to choose. Is this correct?
Hello Ed! Yes, you did it right! You chose every option correctly. Great job!
@@CrescentKao Awesome, just need to make sure I did the steps right. Thanks for confirming this Crescent!
Hi Crescent! For clothes, there is already a "Made in China" on the clothing tags/woven labels. Do I still need to put "Made in China" on my barcode? Thank you!

No. But you shouldn't modify the FNSKU label if you don't have to.
Do you recommend a warehouse to label you product or
have Amazon do it. My product already has a 3rd party barcode on the box but I decided to create a new listing and relabel using a GS1. My warehouse charges 0.56 Amazon charges 0.30. Seems like a no brainer but what do you think? BTW great video as always.

Thanks Crescent. This works however when I print it, the quality is poor. I downloaded it from Pixlr as a high-quality JPG but when I print it, it looks like a copy of a copy of a copy if you know what I mean. It must be losing some quality when you take the screen capture and copy that into Pixlr. Is this just an expected byproduct of doing it this way or am I missing something?
