This square shipping box mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a mailer box or product packaging convincingly.
Useful for subscription box companies as much as for e-commerce brands. One thing worth knowing: render two colour versions side by side. Clients choose faster when they compare.
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

Editable options in the Square Shipping Box Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Base colour of the pack
- Shadows
- Background colour
How to edit this Square Shipping Box Mockup in Photoshop
- 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.
- 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: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.

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