How to package a calendar for FBA
I've never done FBA before, if I were to send calendars in how should I package them for the Amazon Fulfillment Centre.
If I sold them at a fair or something I'd just put them in a plastic sleeve, whereas, if I posted them to a customer I'd put them inside an All Board Envelope. So, would I be best to put each one in a plastic sleeve or all-board envelope?
Thanks

Personally I would say definitely a board sleeve - it will not be handled carefully by the Amazon staff, and you need to ensure they do not get bent or you will end up with a lot of very unhappy customers, and likely loads of refunds !
Personally, if it was me selling calendars, I would feel happier sending them FBM, not FBA.

Hi @Seller_bH5My4pQDILrT,
Why not order a few calendars currently being sold through FBA to see how top sellers package theirs?
It’s a good way to understand what meets Amazon’s packaging requirements and what customers expect. You could also check the reviews for a few calendars to see if there are any comments about the packaging—both positive and negative!

You could use a lightweight card envelope which would help protect them but keep the weight and shipping cost down.
You could alternatively put them in a thicker card envelope and apply for the product to be shipped FBA in its own packaging, which give you an FBA discount. Not sure if the discount would be very much tho.
