Here’s a rectangular packaging box mockup that works well for a mailer box, a gift box design and similar projects.
Good pick for e-commerce brands, packaging designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: 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.
Pixeden created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.

- 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.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixeden. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
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.
