How to Get Certified by Amazon for Frustration-Free Packaging (Step-by-Step Guide for Sellers)
Amazon’s Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP) programme certifies packs that are easy to open, recyclable, and ship without an overbox. Certification sits under the SIOC standard with three tiers: FFP, SIOC, and Prep-Free Packaging. To reach Tier 1, packaging must pass ISTA 6‑Amazon SIOC tests and use 100 % recyclable materials. Suppliers should prototype early, test through approved laboratories, and submit results via Amazon’s portal. Maintaining certification requires consistent production quality and ongoing compliance checks.
