That’s pretty cool from the sound of it, although I read it and still have absolutely no idea what it is, what it looks like, and what actually makes it easier/frustration free to open. I wonder who that article is for tbh, like what target audience would read that and walk away satisfied/with their questions answered?

Read from the top and it's very simple to understand, they even give you an item by item list of what it takes to qualify as frustration free

  Item 1 is "Your product must be 100% recyclable", which means most products (including calculators) cannot qualify for frustration free packaging. In fact, most of the "frustration free packaging" requirements listed are about the product, not the packaging. Item 11, "Your product must be prep free packaging", makes no sense. Later parts of the article seem generated by an LLM or someone without good English and make little sense, e.g. the "Tell me the packaging requirement?" section, which says it lists the requirements but doesn't, or the "Does my product meet Amazon's requirements for frustration-free packaging?" section which starts "This question is interesting" and contains "Tell us what Amazon is looking for when testing products that are frustration-free. The bag must be packed in about 2 minutes. 2. Packaging of the actual product is not larger than 2 cm." What?

    The list literally starts with: > "there are a few key things to keep in mind when doing packaging design" So these are guidelines are about package design, not the product that goes inside. "Your product must be prep free packaging"... apparently "Prep Free Packaging" is a thing in package design: https://apasslab.com/prep-free-packaging-pfp-over-boxing/ https://apasslab.com/prep-free-packaging-pfp-over-boxing/ The later parts of the article are targeted at people who do this stuff for a living: apparently Amazon gives 120 seconds (2 minutes) for undoing the contents of the package if something qualifies for frustration free for example. _ I mean sure maybe the english isn't impeccable, but even half of the 10+ item list at the top is enough to give even a layperson an idea of what frustration free means.

I think Amazon FFP is probably not a specific thing or composition, but something seller applies and Amazon qualifies. The line-between is it's simple cardboard box. Article do seem like an SEO spam to me as well...
