If your product will be shipped to Amazon’s fulfillment center before being shipped to the customer, then your product must be affixed with a UPC or EAN bar code label.

Amazon has strict rules concerning UPC and EAN barcode stickers which can be found here under “Amazon’s bar code compliance guidelines.”

Some of the most important guidelines are:

• The bar code image cannot be obscured by protective packaging or otherwise.
• The bar code should be placed on the back of the product in the “lower right quadrant”.
• The bar code label affixed to the product much match the UPC or EAN number that was digitally assigned to the product.
• Bar codes must be printed with black ink on a white background with 1/4 – inch of white space on the left and right sides of the barcode.

Barcode labels purchased from US Labels are guaranteed to be scannable and formatted properly to Amazon’s labeling standards. Click here to start the ordering process
