A gift box design looks better on a packaging open box mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
It’s a handy file for e-commerce brands and subscription box companies. 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. A matching label or sticker mockup rounds out the set.

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