If you’re presenting product packaging, this match box mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Useful for e-commerce brands as much as for packaging designers. Quick tip: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.
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.
The file is made by a designer on Dribbble. The download button takes you to their page, where you get the original file and the licence details.
What’s inside the Match Box Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Shadows
Editing the Match Box Mockup, step by step
- Finish the label first, with barcode and small print in place.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- 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.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
A designer on Dribbble 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.
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.
