Sending items to FBA - what void fill packaging do folks use?
I'm now sending items to FBA - different sized boxes in a large outer box - but not sure what to use as void filler to stop inner boxes moving around too much.
What cheap / diy packaging do folks use? ie crumpled newspaper etc......
Do Amazon have any rules?
Thanks

polystyrene beads are forbidden,
not sure if you can use newspaper
we tend to reuse packing material we have already
shredded cardboard would be ok - but do not put anything in as void fill that has a barcode on it !

Yes you can use newspaper. You can also reuse the paper dunnage that Amazon use if you order much from them. Avoid using plastics though - bubble wrap etc.

You can buy void fill brown paper on a big roll 300mm x 500 metres for £30 , I'm not allowed to put links so you will have to search for it. Just cut off and scrunch up.
