Presenting a tote bag print? Put it on this gift bag mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Good pick for boutiques, retail brands or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.
A realistic render saves a round of physical samples, which for packaging can take weeks.
Good for
- A tote bag print
- A paper bag logo
- A shopping bag design

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockups Design. 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.
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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
