About Suffocation Warning Bags

Suffocation warning bags come pre-printed with the legally required suffocation warning in multiple languages, meeting Amazon FBA requirements and consumer safety regulations. These bags are essential for any poly-bagged product sold through Amazon, retail stores, or direct to consumers where the bag opening exceeds 5 inches. Without the proper warning, your products may be rejected at Amazon fulfillment centers, returned by retail buyers, or flagged for non-compliance.

The warning text is printed in English, Spanish, and French as required by applicable US, Canadian, and ASTM D3951 packaging regulations. The trilingual format covers all North American markets in a single bag, eliminating the need to stock separate bags for different regions. The text is printed in a legible font size that meets regulatory requirements and is positioned on the bag where it remains visible even after the product is inserted.

Product Details

Amazon FBA has specific prep requirements for poly-bagged products: any bag with an opening of 5 inches or greater must display a suffocation warning. Products that arrive at Amazon fulfillment centers without the proper warning will be rejected, returned to the seller, or repackaged at the seller's expense. Using pre-printed suffocation warning bags eliminates this risk entirely and saves you the time and cost of applying separate warning labels.

Available in sizes from 6" x 9" to 24" x 36", our suffocation warning bags cover the full range of products sold through Amazon FBA and e-commerce channels. Small sizes work for jewelry, accessories, and small electronics. Medium sizes handle clothing, toys, and housewares. Large sizes accommodate bedding, pillows, and bulky items. All bags are manufactured from crystal-clear LDPE in 1.5 to 2 mil thickness, providing excellent product visibility through the bag.

Beyond Amazon, suffocation warning bags are required or recommended for any poly bag sold at retail or shipped directly to consumers, particularly for products marketed to or accessible by children. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and various state laws impose requirements for suffocation warnings on plastic bags used in consumer packaging. Using pre-printed bags ensures automatic compliance without relying on separate labels that can fall off or be applied incorrectly.

Ordering & Shipping

Our suffocation warning bags are manufactured with consistent print quality, using ink that adheres permanently to the LDPE surface. The warning text will not rub off, smear, or fade during normal handling and shipping. This is important because regulatory compliance depends on the warning being legible at the point of consumer use, not just at the time of packaging.

Flexible Poly Industries stocks all standard suffocation warning bag sizes for nationwide shipping from our Los Angeles warehouse. For high-volume e-commerce sellers, we offer case quantity pricing and can ship directly to your fulfillment center or 3PL. Contact us at (626) 250-2030 for pricing and availability.

Common Applications

Amazon FBA
