MPPP

Master Packs Per Pallet (MPPP) is a logistics metric used by Amazon and its vendors to define how inventory is physically configured for palletized shipments. A master pack (or master carton) contains multiple inner packs or individual units, and MPPP tells Amazon how many of these cartons are packed per pallet.

Packaging hierarchy:

• Retail unit → sold to the customer
• Inner pack → multiple retail units
• Master pack → multiple inner packs
• Pallet → multiple master packs

Why MPPP matters:

• Helps Amazon plan receiving dock space, storage, and warehouse efficiency
• Required in PO confirmation, carton content sheets, and shipping labels
• Impacts freight cost, handling time, and damage risk
• Must comply with Amazon’s pallet requirements (e.g., max height, weight, and stacking rules)

💡 Example: If 48 master cartons fit on a single standard pallet, the MPPP is 48. This information is included in the Vendor Central shipment setup.

In short:
MPPP (Master Packs Per Pallet) defines how many master cartons are stacked on one pallet - a critical detail for compliant, efficient shipping to Amazon’s fulfillment centers.
