Hi, yes you need to upload packaging material that shows your branding. Click amateur photos with things in the background so it looks authentic. I have been through this a couple of times and it is a little frustrating process. But once you get it right, you can use your brand name however you want!

Always remember, you are not required to use the same packaging material every single time :) That's literally the key to getting a GTIN exemption approved. Feel free to reach out to me! I will be happy to assist you further!
