Relabelling & Repackaging
Wrong label? Wrong bag? Fixed without a round trip
Barcode and FNSKU swaps, compliance relabelling and retail-ready repackaging done in the warehouse — so stock goes back on sale instead of back to the factory.
Sound familiar?
The problems this solves
Stock stranded over a 20p label
A batch printed with the wrong FNSKU, or a barcode that scans as somebody else's listing, turns sellable inventory into dead weight. The fix is a label, not a write-off.
Supplier packaging that isn't compliant
Bags without suffocation warnings, missing origin marks, retail packaging that will not survive a courier network. Catching and correcting it here beats a refused shipment or a returns spike.
The round trip to the factory
Shipping stock back to the supplier for rework costs freight both ways plus a month of lost sales. Rework at the warehouse it is already sitting in, and it is back on sale in days.
How Oakmont handles it
What actually happens
- 1
Tell us the fix
Raise the instruction in the portal against the affected SKU or batch: what is wrong, what the corrected label or packaging should be.
- 2
We pull the affected units
The batch is pulled from storage and quarantined from sellable stock, so nothing ships in the faulty state while rework is underway.
- 3
Relabel or repackage to spec
New FNSKU or barcode applied squarely over the old one, compliant bags or retail packaging swapped in, expiry labels added at £0.12 where needed.
- 4
Confirm and release
Product photos at £0.50 per SKU confirm the corrected state if you want sign-off, then units return to live inventory, the prep queue or dispatch.

Questions
Asked before, answered here
Can you swap FNSKUs on stock you already hold?
Yes. Whether a listing was re-created, a batch was labelled against the wrong ASIN, or you are moving stock between seller accounts, we print and apply the new FNSKU over the old one across the affected batch. The work is billed at the published prep per-unit tiers, which include inspection and the label — from £0.50 down to £0.26 depending on batch size.
How do you stop the old barcode being scanned?
The new label is applied directly over the existing barcode so only one code is scannable — Amazon's requirement, and basic hygiene for any retailer's goods-in. Where packaging carries multiple printed barcodes we cover each one, because one stray EAN at a fulfilment centre is all it takes to strand a batch.
What repackaging can you do?
Poly bagging at £0.20 per unit — with suffocation warnings where required — bubble wrap at £0.45, and fragile packs at £0.75 for anything courier networks are likely to punish. For retail-ready work, boxes are charged at cost plus £0.30, or we repack into packaging you supply. The right option depends on the product; we will tell you the cheapest one that survives transit.
Can you add expiry or batch labels?
Yes, at £0.12 per unit, printed in the format Amazon and retailers expect. This is a common rescue job for imported goods where the manufacturer's date format is ambiguous or missing — relabelled here, the batch stays sellable instead of being rejected at goods-in.
How fast can a relabelling job turn around?
Batch relabelling runs through the same operation as FBA prep, with its 24-hour turnaround target for announced work, so most jobs are back in sellable stock within a day or two of instruction. If stock is stranded and every day is costing you the buy box, urgent same-day handling is available at the published +25% surcharge.
