How to Print FNSKU Labels for Amazon FBA

Amazon FBA wants a scannable FNSKU barcode on every unit, and the trouble is the same as with any barcode label: printed from a browser it shrinks to fit letter paper and the scanner chokes. PaperReady prints FNSKU labels at their real size so they scan on the first pass, whether you print from Amazon's own label PDF or generate them from a spreadsheet of SKUs.

1. In Seller Central, open Manage Inventory or your FBA shipment and choose Print item labels. Amazon gives you a PDF, usually a 30-up sheet or a 2×1 inch thermal size.
2. For a thermal roll (Zebra, DYMO, Rollo, MUNBYN) pick the 2×1 inch size; for a sheet, pick the 30-up Avery 5160 layout.
3. Drop Amazon's PDF into PaperReady, or import a spreadsheet of FNSKUs and point the barcode field at the FNSKU column to generate scannable Code 128 codes.
4. Install the free Print Bridge and print at true size: each FNSKU fills its label and scans cleanly, with no letter-page scaling and no per-label fee.

Print FNSKU labels from a spreadsheet

Prepping many SKUs? Put the FNSKU values in a column, import the spreadsheet, and point the barcode field at that column. Every row becomes a scannable Code 128 label, printed at true size on a roll or a sheet.

Thermal roll or Avery sheet

On a thermal printer, print FNSKUs one at a time on a 2×1 inch roll. On a desktop printer, use the Avery 5160 30-up sheet. Either way PaperReady prints the die-cut grid at true size so nothing drifts.
