Amazon Frustration Free Packaging Certification Guidelines
Submitted by: Allison Fonder
Pretty straight-forward. Good to know and probably a requirement if working at a larger company, though in my experience the responsibility falls to the engineers in the end.

Lumi YouTube Channel
Submitted by: Allison FonderIt’s like a crash course on designing anything e-commerce, with a focus on boxes, but also covers bags, mailer envelopes, labels, etc. The channel features:
· Unboxing videos that focus on the packaging (not the product)
· Terminology and manufacturing/printing processes
· Substrate and format options
· Custom vs stock
· How to Think about sustainability choices.
· Note that they are a supplier, but this channel is such a robust resource.It’s like a crash course on designing anything e-commerce, with a focus on boxes, but also covers bags, mailer envelopes, labels, etc. The channel features:
