This candy bar mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a candy box or a chocolate bar wrapper convincingly.
It’s a handy file for confectionery brands and packaging designers. Tip: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.
Packaging is judged on the shelf in a couple of seconds, so seeing the design on the real shape tells you more than the flat dieline ever will. Show it with a shipping box or bag from the same range to present the whole unboxing.

What’s inside the Candy Bar Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Base colour of the pack
- Shadows
Editing the Candy Bar Mockup, step by step
- Build the label or box art flat, panel by panel.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Change the base colour of the pack.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.
Where the Candy Bar Mockup works best
- Use it as the cover image for a candy box in your portfolio.
- Show a seasonal pack to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Make two or three colour versions of a chocolate bar wrapper and let the client pick.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
PSD Zone sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the chocolate packaging?
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.
Is the design wrapped around the shape?
Round packs usually use warp or displacement so the label bends with the shape. Flat boxes use separate smart objects for each visible side.
