📌 What Is the Unboxing Video Certification?

The Unboxing Video Certification verifies that you can clearly and authentically capture the first-time experience of opening a product.

Unboxing Videos focus on packaging, presentation, and first impressions — not deep reviews or aggressive selling. These videos help viewers experience the excitement of receiving a product for the first time.

Brands use Unboxing Videos to:

  • Showcase packaging quality and branding

  • Highlight what’s included in the box

  • Create anticipation and excitement

  • Build trust through authentic first reactions


📌 What Makes a Good Unboxing Video?

1. Genuine first-time reaction 🎁

This must be a real unboxing. Viewers should feel like you’re seeing the product for the first time. Over-rehearsed or fake reactions will be rejected.

2. Creator clearly visible and speaking 🎤

You must appear on camera and speak clearly. Your face, hands, and product should all be visible when relevant.

You may do a voiceover if preferred! But use your own voice!

3. Clear packaging and contents visibility 📦

Show:

  • The box or packaging

  • Branding and labels

  • All items included inside

Do not rush through the unboxing or skip contents.

4. Clean, intentional setup 🧼

Film on a clean surface (table, desk, counter). The frame should show:

  • Your hands

  • The box

  • The product as it’s revealed

Messy backgrounds or cluttered setups will be rejected since it takes away the overall quality of the video.

5. Get to the unboxing quickly ⏱️

Keep introductions short. Start opening the product early in the video. Ideal length is 45 seconds to 1 minute.

6. Show the product in use 🔍

If possible, briefly show how the product looks or functions once unboxed. This is encouraged but not required.


🚨 Before You Start (Non-Negotiable Rules)

All submissions must follow these rules. Missing any requirement will result in rejection.
