Need to show product packaging to a client? This branding product box mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Packaging designers and subscription box companies tend to get the most out of files like this. Tip: render two colour versions side by side. Clients choose faster when they compare.
It’s also handy for crowdfunding pages and pitch decks, when the product exists but the packaging hasn’t been printed yet. A matching label or sticker mockup rounds out the set.
Works well for
- Product packaging
- A mailer box
- A gift box design

Editable options in the Branding Product Box Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Background colour
- Base colour of the pack
Editing the Branding Product Box Mockup, step by step
- Build the label or box art flat, panel by panel.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Turn the highlight layer down if it washes out your logo.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Pixeden 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 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.
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.
