Here’s Exactly What It Cost Us to Launch Our Amazon FBA Product

A lot of people ask how much it really costs to launch a brand on Amazon. Here’s a transparent breakdown based on one of our case study products:

  • Design + Logo: Simple logo design for packaging
  • Stock Image: Used a high-quality image for our packaging
  • GS1 Barcode: $30 for 1 SKU (you only pay more if you have multiple SKUs)
  • Photography: We used productphotography.com, which we’ve trusted for other successful launches
  • Sample Product: About $100, including international shipping to the U.S.
  • Trademark Costs:
    • $900 to file
    • $500 for attorney search and review
  • Total Startup Costs (excluding inventory): Roughly $2,700

📦 Inventory Costs: First order brought the total startup cost to just over $8,200.

This includes everything from branding to barcodes to our first shipment. For anyone thinking about starting — this is a realistic picture of what it can take to do it right.
