FBA carton labels and what goes in each box
Each FBA carton we ship carries your FBA box label, numbered by carton (1/30, 2/30 and so on), a Made in Vietnam label beside it, and a shipping mark in Amazon's format. Inside, each carton holds one product in the same count as the other cartons of that product, with each size in its own inner bag. One carton is labelled and approved before the rest.

The three labels on the outside
Each FBA carton carries three things on the outside:
| Label | Where it sits |
|---|---|
| FBA box label, numbered 1/30, 2/30… | On every carton |
| Made in Vietnam | Beside the FBA label |
| Shipping mark in Amazon's format | On every carton |
For orders that are not going to Amazon, the shipping mark has four base lines instead (our company, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, your company, the destination port), or your own format if you have one.
When cartons have to be relabelled
Two changes look similar and are not. If the booking changes, the cartons do not need new labels. If the Amazon destination warehouse changes, they do.
So the one thing worth confirming before labelling day is the destination warehouse.
What goes inside each box
The labels only help if the contents match them. Our packing rules for FBA cartons:
- One product, one count. Every carton of a product holds the same quantity. We suggest ordering in whole cartons for this reason: counting, labelling and receiving stay simple at both ends. This is our operating practice, and it is how we recommend you plan.
- Each size in its own inner bag. Sizes never sit loose together.
- A last mixed carton, if there is one, is packed to the same weight as any other mixed carton.
- No cut cartons. We do not cut cartons down.
- No other brand's boxes. We use plain five-ply export cartons, never cartons printed with another company's logo.
Our standard Amazon carton is 51 × 31 × 39 cm (outside), and we always pack it under 22.5 kg. How many pieces fit depends on the product, size and set, so before quoting we pack about ten real sets into a real carton and weigh it. The quote follows that carton.
Made in Vietnam on the carton and on the goods
Unless excepted by law, US rule 19 CFR 134.11 requires every article of foreign origin, or its container, imported into the United States to be marked in a conspicuous place "as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article (or container) will permit", so that the ultimate purchaser in the US can see the country of origin. That is the regulation text on Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute as of November 2026.
The Made in Vietnam label on the carton is part of how we mark a shipment. If your goods also need the origin on the bag or the item, so the end buyer sees it, that is a question for your customs broker. We cover that decision in "Made in Vietnam" marking on natural pet toys.
Our labelling-day checks
Carton mistakes are cheapest to catch before the tape goes on. These are the checks we run, in order:
- Count your labels when they arrive. Tags and barcodes are counted against the order straight away. A shortage found on packing day delays everything.
- Pack and label one carton first. It is checked and approved before the rest are done.
- Photograph the inside of the cartons before they are sealed.
- Confirm the destination warehouse with you before the labels go on.
Bag-level labels (barcode, suffocation warning, size label, your tag) are a separate step that happens earlier. They are covered in packing natural pet toys for FBA, by material and size variations and barcodes.
Getting the cartons to Amazon
We can deliver to the Amazon FBA warehouse, or you can arrange the freight yourself. There are three ways it is done: you book through Amazon, your own forwarder collects, or we quote the freight. In every case the cartons leave Vietnam on a formal export declaration. The order of decisions before your first shipment is in selling natural dog chews on Amazon FBA: 7 decisions.
Questions sellers ask about FBA carton labels
Do you put the FBA box labels on the cartons?
Yes. Each carton carries its FBA box label, numbered 1/30, 2/30 and so on, with a Made in Vietnam label beside it.
Do cartons need relabelling if my booking changes?
No. A booking change does not need new labels, but a change of Amazon destination warehouse does.
How many pieces go in one carton?
It depends on the product, size and set. We pack about ten real sets into a real carton, weigh it, and quote from that.
What size are your FBA cartons?
Our standard Amazon carton is 51 × 31 × 39 cm outside, five-ply, and always packed under 22.5 kg.
Can one carton hold several sizes?
Each size goes in its own inner bag. Only the last cartons may mix sizes, and mixed cartons are packed to the same weight as each other.
