Southern Carton Company Joins Amazon Packaging Support & Supplier (APASS) Network
August 19, 2020Southern Carton Company, a design and manufacturing leader of custom packaging materials and solutions, announced today it is now a certified member of the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier (APASS) network.
“As a member of the APASS network, we will be able to help companies who sell through Amazon, design, and develop e-commerce packaging that will reduce costs, minimize chargebacks and optimize their customers’ experience,” said Scott Fray, Vice President ofSales. “Our team is focused on helping customers navigate the world of e-commerce packaging, including the Amazon channel, and our APASS membership reaffirms our commitment to their ongoing success.”
Amazon launched the APASS program in 2018 to support vendors, sellers, and manufacturers in certifying their products as Prep-Free Packaging (PFP), Ships-in-Own Container (SIOC) and Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP). These certification guidelines for packaging help reduce packing times, packaging waste, risk of damage, and difficult unboxing experiences. As a certified Amazon supplier, Southern Carton is able to help Amazon sellers qualify for all three tiers by creating packaging strategies to meet these guidelines.
“For more than 40 years, Southern Carton has evolved to meet customer demand at every stage of the supply chain by providing expert design and engineered business solutions,” said Connor Kennedy, third-generation Manager at Southern Carton. “By aligning our approach with Amazon’s guidelines, we become a partner in the solutions that will advance and sustain our customers for years to come.”
