Label Printers

Print FNSKU labels without ink cartridges. Every FBA seller needs one from day one.

Fast, reliable, and takes standard DK rolls. Prints FNSKU, shipping, and address labels. Plug-in via USB — no drivers faff.

DYMO LabelWriter 550

Wireless and whisper-quiet

Great if you want WiFi printing or your prep station is away from your PC. Slightly slower than the Brother but easier to position.

Prep & Packing

The consumables that keep your Amazon shipments compliant and protected.

Required

Clear Poly Bags — Suffocation Warning

Amazon-compliant — printed warning built in

Amazon requires suffocation warnings on bags over a certain size. Buy pre-printed bags and avoid the sticker stage entirely. Get a mixed size pack to cover all your SKUs.

Heavy Duty Packing Tape + Dispenser

Keeps outer boxes sealed through Amazon's sort centres

Cheap tape splits in the sort centre and Amazon charges you for re-boxing. A decent tape gun pays for itself on the first shipment.

Bubble Wrap Roll (100m)

For fragile goods and awkward shapes

A big roll works out far cheaper per metre than smaller packs. Keep one under the prep table — you'll use it constantly on glass, ceramics, and electronics.

Required

Double-Wall Cardboard Boxes

Outer cartons for Amazon FBA shipments

Amazon requires double-wall boxes for multi-unit shipments. A pack of mixed sizes covers most SKU combinations without over-boxing.

Weighing & Measuring

Know your exact shipping costs before you book — margin killers hide in inaccurate weights.

Essential

Digital Postal Scale (30kg)

Accurate to 1g — essential for FBA shipment booking

Enter accurate weights when booking with Amazon and avoid surcharges. Weighing before you ship saves money every single time.

Digital Vernier Caliper

Measure product dimensions to the millimetre

Use for checking if a product fits Amazons small/standard/large tier thresholds — which directly affects your FBA fees.

Sourcing Tools

Speed up retail arbitrage scanning and keep your sourcing records organised.

Works with Companion

Bluetooth Barcode Scanner

Scan barcodes into the Companion app hands-free

Pair with the IC FBA Companion Chrome extension or mobile scanner. Much faster than typing ASINs — scan a shelf of 50 items in 2 minutes flat.

Expanding Receipt Organiser

Keep supplier invoices sorted by month

HMRC expects you to keep invoices for 6 years. An expanding file per year keeps everything accessible without a scanning setup.

Desk & Workspace

Small upgrades that make a big difference on a long sourcing session.

Adjustable Laptop Stand

Eye-level screen reduces neck strain on long sessions

You'll spend hours scanning leads and checking Keepa charts. A £20 stand saves you a physio bill.

Cable Management Kit

Keep your prep station tidy

A clutter-free desk means faster packing and fewer mistakes. Cable clips + velcro ties are the cheapest upgrade to a prep table.
