Presenting a gift box design? Put it on this tuck lid window box mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Useful for e-commerce brands as much as for packaging designers. One thing worth knowing: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.
It’s also handy for crowdfunding pages and pitch decks, when the product exists but the packaging hasn’t been printed yet. A matching label or sticker mockup rounds out the set.

Editable options in the Tuck Lid Window 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
- Gloss and highlight layers
Editing the Tuck Lid Window Box Mockup, step by step
- Finish the label first, with barcode and small print in place.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Change the base colour of the pack.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Glossy packaging picks up highlights over your art; reduce the highlight layer if your logo gets washed out.
Where the Tuck Lid Window Box Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of a mailer box and let the client pick.
- Show a gift box design on your online shop or product page.
- Use it as the cover image for product packaging in your portfolio.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Designbolts. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
