If you’re presenting a mailer box, this seven boxes mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Good pick for e-commerce brands, subscription box companies or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.
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.
Works well for
- A mailer box
- Product packaging
- A gift box design
Free created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What you can edit in this Seven Boxes Mockup
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Base colour of the pack
Add your design to the Seven Boxes Mockup
- Finish the label first, with barcode and small print in place.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Check each visible side so the panels line up.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Free. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
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 Free gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
