This shopping bag mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a shopping bag design or a paper bag logo convincingly.
Useful for retail brands as much as for merch sellers. Check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.
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.

Editable options in the Shopping Bag Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Shadows
How to edit this Shopping Bag Mockup in Photoshop
- Build the label or box art flat, panel by panel.
- 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.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this bag mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Designbolts. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the bag?
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.
