Presenting product packaging? Put it on this square boxes mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Useful for packaging designers as much as for subscription box companies. Quick tip: glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.
It’s also handy for crowdfunding pages and pitch decks, when the product exists but the packaging hasn’t been printed yet.
Graphic Google created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What’s inside the Square Boxes Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Background colour
Add your design to the Square Boxes Mockup
- Export each side of the pack as its own image if the file has separate smart objects.
- 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.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: render two colour versions side by side. Clients choose faster when they compare.
Where the Square Boxes Mockup works best
- Use it as the cover image for a gift box design in your portfolio.
- Make two or three colour versions of product packaging and let the client pick.
- Share a mailer box on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this box mockup for client work?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Graphic Google gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
