What the service covers

  • Air-cushion wrap

    Protective bubble wrap for fragile items up to 15 inches.

  • Double seal

    An extra layer of tape or seal for added security during transit.

  • Fragile on the listing

    Prep requirements shows the prep category Amazon has on file for each listing. Fragile (bubble/box) is the one for these units, and a change there is saved on your Amazon account.

  • When Amazon wants a box too

    Amazon's packaging requirements call for over-boxing a fragile item that fails a 3-foot drop test after bubble wrap. The box can be made to the product's size.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Mark the listing as fragile

    In Prep requirements, set the listing to Fragile (bubble/box). For a double seal, say so in the notes of your Send to Amazon request.

  2. Step 2

    Wrapped and sealed in Miami

    The team wraps each unit in air-cushion bubble wrap, adds the double seal when the request asks for it, and labels the unit for FBA.

  3. Step 3

    Boxed when it needs more

    For a fragile item that fails Amazon's 3-foot drop test after bubble wrap, ask for a box in the request notes. The team boxes the wrapped unit, in a box made to the product's size when needed.

Questions about bubble wrap

How big can a bubble-wrapped item be?

Bubble wrap at PrepVia is for fragile items up to 15 inches. Larger items are quoted with the handling they need.

How do I ask for a double seal?

Write it in the notes of your Send to Amazon request. The double seal adds an extra layer of tape or seal for transit.

Who decides whether a fragile unit also needs a box?

You do. Amazon's page on preparing products for FBA makes the choice of prep the seller's responsibility, and its packaging requirements call for over-boxing a fragile item that fails a 3-foot drop test after bubble wrap. Ask for the box in the notes of your Send to Amazon request.
