Can we use FNSKU barcode printed on black background?

We have black packaging for the most part of our products, and when we use usual FNSKU barcode printed on white background it seems rather not neat. So we wonder could we use FNSKU barcode printed on black background.

Hi @Seller_npI6nmo8BFSF9,

I understand wanting your packaging to look neat! However, Amazon has specific requirements for FNSKU barcodes that we need to follow. In the "Label paper requirements" section at Amazon barcodes help page, it clearly states that "All Amazon barcodes must be printed in black ink on white, non-reflective labels with removable adhesive."

The same page also specifies the required white space around the barcode (under "Amazon barcode label requirements"):

  • 0.25 inch on the sides
  • 0.125 inch on top and bottom
  • The label itself should be between 1 x 2 inches and 2 x 3 inches

I know it's not ideal for black packaging, but these requirements help ensure your products can be processed smoothly at the fulfillment centers.

Hope this helps!

Best regards, Michael
