Designing packaging for Amazon starts with the customer and works backward. Delivering products that customers love starts with packaging designed for online fulfillment that reduces packaging waste while ensuring products arrive to customers undamaged.

To support the development of packaging for Amazon, the APASS network provides a list of companies and labs that can help test, design, and supply packaging in line with Amazon’s packaging certification guidelines. All companies on this list have received guidance from Amazon and many have worked with manufacturers to achieve packaging solutions that meet our standards.
