LTL shipment with SIOC boxes, how to label?
For our FBA inbound LTL shipment, how should we label pallets build with SIOC boxes? These ready to ship boxes are not put in outer boxes/cartons on the pallet. Can’t seem to find anything about this in the online guides or here specifically.
If I understand it correctly, there’s normally 2 box labels: 1) FBA label, 2) carrier/shipment label. Now that our box is SIOC (Ships In Own Container) and ready to ship to the customer by Amazon, we’re not going to affix any of those two labels on our SIOC box, correct?
Instead: FBA label and carrier/shipment label are to be affixed on the wrapped pallet, correct?
Also, we will place pallet labels (4) on each side of the wrapped pallet.
Anyone knows if it is okay not to put SIOC boxes in outer cartons on a pallet? Or is it a bad idea for some reason? I assume it would save Amazon time when receiving the shipment.
Later when Amazon is going to send a box to a customer, they will place their own (1) shipment label on the SIOC box, right?
Thank you all.

If the item you are packing, is just a single item, rather than a box of 4 for instance, then you just label each single item with a FNSKU label. There is no need for box labels.
Then 4 pallet labels on each pallet and obviously the courier label.
That’s it, nothing complicated.
