Amazon Prep-Free Packaging Testing
What Is Amazon Prep-Free Packaging Testing?
How To Test Your Packaged Product For Amazon PFP
Amazon Package Testing Tiers
- Tier 1 - Frustration Free Packaging (FFP) is capable of shipping in its own container with minimized, fully recyclable and easy-to-open packaging. This ensures the most optimal experience for our customers.
- Tier 2 - Ships in Own Container (SIOC) minimizes waste through ensuring that packaging is designed to ship without the need for an Amazon over-box.
- Tier 3 - Prep-Free Packaging (PFP) is designed to ship effectively without the need for Amazon to apply additional prep to prevent damage of leakage.
Amazon Prep-Free Packaging Testing
Amazon utilizes the ISTA 6 Series test method to ensure quality packaging at every level in the supply chain. The ISTA Project 6 AMAZON.COM test was developed by ISTA in alliance with Amazon.com and is used as the standard protocol for general simulation. Prep-free packaging testing for Amazon falls under the ISTA Project 6 AMAZON.COM Over Boxing procedure. These tests challenge the durability of a package and its product to withstand common distribution hazards.
Three different categories are used for each type of packaged product tests: shipping method, handling method, and weight-and-dimensions. By testing for the e-commerce transit channels that packages go through, we can validate that your products will maintain their integrity and arrive to customers intact and undamaged. This test is intended to simulate the conditions of shipping and delivering a package, including calibrated drops and vibrations.
