A gift box design looks better on a shipping box mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and subscription box companies. One thing worth knowing: render two colour versions side by side. Clients choose faster when they compare.
It’s also handy for crowdfunding pages and pitch decks, when the product exists but the packaging hasn’t been printed yet.
Use it for
- A gift box design
- A mailer box
- Product packaging

What’s inside the Shipping Box Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Shadows
Add your design to the Shipping Box Mockup
- Export each side of the pack as its own image if the file has separate smart objects.
- 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.
- Check each visible side so the panels line up.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.
Where the Shipping Box Mockup works best
- Show a gift box design on your online shop or product page.
- Use it as the cover image for a mailer box in your portfolio.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this box mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockups Design. 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.
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.
