This stack cardboard boxes mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a mailer box or product packaging convincingly.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and e-commerce brands. 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.
Works well for
- A mailer box
- Product packaging
- A gift box design

What’s inside the Stack Cardboard Boxes Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Background colour
How to use the Stack Cardboard Boxes 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.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.

- Use it as the cover image for a gift box design in your portfolio.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this box mockup for client work?
Mockups Design sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
