Presenting product packaging? Put it on this branding square boxes mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and subscription box companies. One thing worth knowing: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.
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.

Branding Square Boxes Mockup: editable parts
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Background colour
- Base colour of the pack
Editing the Branding Square Boxes 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.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Turn the highlight layer down if it washes out your logo.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: render two colour versions side by side. Clients choose faster when they compare.
Where the Branding Square Boxes Mockup works best
- Use it as the cover image for a gift box design in your portfolio.
- Show product packaging to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Make two or three colour versions of a mailer box and let the client pick.

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 add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
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 Pixeden gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
