Single SKU Pallet - Double box everything for labeling purposes?
I am sending several pallets to FBA via LTL shipment. When creating a shipping plan, it asks for the box and case details. My product ships in the product box itself, with the FNSKU displayed according to policy and is not itself repacked into cases. Because of size, it's impractical to package multiple ASINs into another box. Each pallet will contain 56 of a single ASIN, each ASIN in a SIPP compliant box. Do I really need to place a shipping label on all 56 product boxes, in addition to all the other palleting rules? It seems silly to put both the box label and FNSKU label on each product box.
I contacted seller support (Case ID 15650451011) and they instructed me to place each box in another box and put the shipping label on that external box.
So that would be taking my product box (which itself qualifies for the Ships In Product Box program) and place that into another box all by itself, and put the shipping label on that? Double boxing?
Fitting this box into another larger box will create a ton of empty space in my shipment, greatly increase the packaging material I need, and will double the number of pallets shipped. This seems like a silly thing to do for the want of a single label.
When I contacted seller support, I asked if I could consider the entire pallet a "box" and have all the products under that one virtual "box" and place the box label on the outside of the pallet next to the pallet labels, and I was told specifically that I could not do that.

Hey @Seller_fWAA4b1wX8hJJ, I'd posit that others will soon weigh in with sage advice here but are you using a single-SKU pallet template?
As noted here(emphasis mine): a single-SKU pallet may have units directly placed onto the pallet or units that are packed into boxes, then those boxes are placed onto the pallet.
I'll monitor for other responses and look into the case details to see if we can't help resolve this.
