Presenting a mailer box? Put it on this rectangle box mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Useful for e-commerce brands as much as for packaging designers. One thing worth knowing: glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.
A realistic render saves a round of physical samples, which for packaging can take weeks.
Good for
- A mailer box
- A gift box design
- Product packaging

Editable options in the Rectangle Box Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Base colour of the pack
Editing the Rectangle Box Mockup, step by step
- Export each side of the pack as its own image if the file has separate smart objects.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Zippypixels. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the box?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Can I change the packaging colour?
Usually yes. There is normally a colour layer under the design smart object, so you can change the base colour without touching your artwork.
