Packaging apparel, fabric and textiles

Place individual units of apparel and products made of fabric or textiles, along with any cardboard backings, in transparent, sealed bags or shrink wrap (minimum of 2.3 micrometres), clearly marked with a suffocation warning label.

Fold items to the smallest dimensions to fit in the package.

For items with negligible dimensions or weight, enter 2.5 mm for length, height, and width, and 20 grams for weight.

Fold all clothing neatly to its minimal dimensions and place it in an exact-fit bag or box. Make sure boxes aren't creased or broken.

Measure footwear in its original, manufacturer-provided box.

Use boxes for materials such as leather that could be damaged by bags or shrink wrap.

Ensure that each product has a scannable label visible after bagging.

Package footwear with no material exposed.

Allow the bag or shrink wrap to protrude more than 76 mm past the dimensions of the product.

Include regular-size hangers. For more information, see Hanger removal on Prepare your products for FBA shipping.

Send in unmatched singles or groups of shoes without a secured shoebox.

Use packaging for footwear other than the original manufacturer-provided box.
