What Is a Gender Reveal Packaging Box?
A gender reveal packaging box is a carefully presented box designed to surprise friends and family with the baby’s gender. Typically filled with shredded paper, keepsakes or reveal cards, it creates anticipation before the big reveal.
How Can Shredded Paper Be Used?
Shredded paper acts as cushioning and the reveal itself. Place the coloured paper under a neutral layer so the gender remains a secret until the box is opened.
