This slide square box mockup is one of the simpler ways to present product packaging or a gift box design convincingly.
Good pick for e-commerce brands, subscription box companies or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: render two colour versions side by side. Clients choose faster when they compare.
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.

Slide Square Box Mockup: editable parts
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Background colour
Add your design to the Slide Square Box Mockup
- Build the label or box art flat, panel by panel.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Change the base colour of the pack.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.
Where the Slide Square Box Mockup works best
- Present product packaging in a client proposal or brand guide.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
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.
