This product boxes mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a mailer box or product packaging convincingly.
It’s a handy file for e-commerce brands and packaging designers. Quick tip: glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.
A realistic render saves a round of physical samples, which for packaging can take weeks. A matching label or sticker mockup rounds out the set.
Use it for
- A mailer box
- Product packaging

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
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.
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.
