A kraft paper gift bag mockup, made for presenting a tote bag print. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Useful for retail brands as much as for merch sellers. One thing worth knowing: 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.
Good for
- A tote bag print
- A paper bag logo
- A shopping bag design

Editable options in the Kraft Paper Gift Bag Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Base colour of the pack
- Gloss and highlight layers
Add your design to the Kraft Paper Gift Bag Mockup
- Export each side of the pack as its own image if the file has separate smart objects.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Change the base colour of the pack.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.

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