Show product packaging the way it will actually look: on a versatile box mockup.
Useful for e-commerce brands as much as for subscription box companies. Quick tip: check barcodes, weights and small legal text at 100% zoom. Packaging clients always look for those.
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.
Good for
- Product packaging
- A gift box design
- A mailer box
Mockups Design created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What you can edit in this Versatile Box Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Label or box artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Base colour of the pack
Editing the Versatile Box Mockup, step by step
- Build the label or box art flat, panel by panel.
- 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.
- Check each visible side so the panels line up.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Build the label or dieline flat first, then place it; bending text inside the mockup is harder to fix later.
Where the Versatile Box Mockup works best

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
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 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.
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.
