Amazon Adds 45UP Label Support and Inventory Replenishment Dashboard to FBA
Amazon now supports the 45UP label format in the Send to Amazon workflow, letting sellers print 45 × 38.5 × 29.9 mm labels per A4 sheet. A new Replenishment Dashboard categorises every SKU as No Stock, Low Stock, In Stock or Excess Stock, offering real‑time alerts for stockouts and overstock.
Overview
Amazon has rolled out two new FBA utilities designed to streamline routine seller tasks. Effective immediately, the Send to Amazon workflow now supports the industry‑standard 45UP label format, and a fresh inventory replenishment dashboard categorizes every SKU by its stock status. Both tools are reachable from Seller Central, and they aim to cut down on label‑printing hassles and improve inventory visibility for sellers of all sizes.
Key Points
- 45UP label integration — Sellers can generate 38.5 × 29.9 mm labels, 45 per A4 sheet, directly within the Send to Amazon process.
- Single‑format printing — Multi‑channel merchants can abandon separate Amazon‑only label templates and use the same sheets they already employ for other marketplaces.
- Four‑tier stock view — The new dashboard tags each product as No Stock, Low Stock, In Stock, or Excess Stock, giving an instant health snapshot of the entire FBA catalog.
- Early‑warning alerts — Low‑stock flags appear before a stockout, allowing sellers to place replenishment orders in time to protect sales velocity.
- Overstock detection — Excess‑stock warnings highlight items that may incur long‑term storage fees, prompting price cuts, promotions, or removal requests.
- Compatibility note — The 45UP format is optimized for A4 printers; sellers using US Letter‑size equipment should verify that their printers can handle the layout before switching.
