This square product box mockup is a quick way to show a gift box design without a photo shoot.
Packaging designers and subscription box companies tend to get the most out of files like this. Tip: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.
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.

What’s inside the Square Product Box Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Gloss and highlight layers
- Background colour
Add your design to the Square Product Box 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”.
- 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.
Another tip: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.

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 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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockup Nest gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
