Will Your Product Meet Amazon SIOC Requirements? A Checklist

Navigating Amazon’s Ships in Own Container (SIOC) program (now called SIPP) can be a game-changer for online businesses looking to streamline their logistics, reduce packaging waste, and improve customer satisfaction. However, ensuring your product meets Amazon’s strict guidelines is no simple task. That’s why we’ve put together this quick cheat sheet to help you determine whether your product meets Amazon SIOC requirements.  

What is Amazon SIOC?

Amazon’s SIOC program is designed to minimize unnecessary packaging by allowing products to ship in their own containers without additional over-boxing from Amazon. However, to qualify for SIOC certification, products must meet specific size, weight, and durability standards, as well as pass rigorous testing protocols.

These requirements ensure the packaging can be seamlessly transported through Amazon’s fulfillment centers. They also hold manufacturers accountable for the protection of their products. By gaining SIOC certification, you’re affirming to Amazon that your packaging is robust enough to protect the product during distribution. Finally, Amazon wants to ensure vendors consider customer experience. By limiting the amount of unboxing a product requires, Amazon (and your brand) can create a more pleasant unboxing experience for customers. 

What You’ll Learn

These requirements can be complicated for some manufacturers or e-commerce retailers just starting to sell their goods on Amazon. That’s why our team has compiled a basic cheat sheet, or checklist, outlining all Amazon SIOC requirements.
