This vertical boxes mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a mailer box or product packaging convincingly.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and e-commerce brands. 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. A matching label or sticker mockup rounds out the set.

What’s inside the Vertical Boxes Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Base colour of the pack
- Background colour
Editing the Vertical Boxes Mockup, step by step
- Finish the label first, with barcode and small print in place.
- 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.
- 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
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
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.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so GraphicPear gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
