The Prep + Pack functionality in Hopstack allows you to handle both individual and bundled products efficiently, including prep instructions and FNSKU label management — all directly from the packing screen.
This new workflow eliminates the need to prep items separately in a different step. You can now handle prepping and packing in one place, making the process faster and more seamless.
Note: On FNSKU labels, the field previously labeled "Best by" has been changed to "Exp Date" to match standard industry terminology and reduce confusion during FBA prep workflows.
