Can I put my own artwork on different sides?

Yes. Select a 3D face or flat panel and add PNG, JPG or WebP artwork. Use fit/fill, scale, position and rotation controls, or drag and resize in the selected-panel editor. You can copy artwork to a chosen face or the main faces. Artwork is prepared at up to 1536 pixels on its longest side; a larger export cannot restore detail beyond that.

What is included in Free and Pro?

Both plans include all seven structures, panel artwork, editable projects, 1600 × 1600 PNGs, four-angle ZIP downloads and SVG/PDF templates. Guests get 3 successful export runs daily across tools; a verified free account raises this to 5 total, preserving runs already used. Pro ($5/month) adds 3200 × 3200 PNGs and unlimited daily exports. Each successful download counts once; a four-angle ZIP is one run. Saving an editable project does not count as an export run.

What are the artwork and project limits?

Artwork uploads use the site's Free file allowance (10 MB by default); Pro accepts up to 40 MB per image. Both plans prepare artwork at up to 1536 pixels on its longest side. Opening a project is limited to 22 MB, with up to 20 MB of embedded artwork data and 20 artwork entries. Large projects and high-resolution exports still depend on your device's memory and graphics support.

Are the SVG and PDF templates ready for manufacturing?

No. They are actual-size prototype guides, with vector cut/fold paths and rasterised artwork. Board thickness, production bleed, material tolerances and structural fit are not guaranteed. Print at 100% and verify a physical sample with your packaging supplier before production.

Can I print a template on A4 or Letter paper?

The PDF is a single custom-sized sheet, not an A4 or Letter tiled document. Check the displayed template sheet dimensions and your printer's paper support. Print at 100%, not fit-to-page, to preserve the intended size.

How do gift-box and drawer dimensions work?

Gift-box dimensions describe the base. The separate lid adds adjustable total clearance of 1–10 mm; its walls are 40% of base height, with an 8 mm minimum. Drawer dimensions describe the inner tray; the independent sleeve adds 2 mm total clearance. Template exports include both parts. Check clearance against your material.

How accurate is the pillow box preview?

It approximates bowed faces and end closures for a visual and paper prototype. Maximum filled depth is capped at 60% of the entered box width, and the UI displays the resulting thickness. Blue curved guides mark end folds. Closure and physical fit have not been validated for manufacturing.

Can I save a design and edit it later?

Yes. Save design downloads a local .boxmockup project containing settings and embedded artwork. Open restores a validated project; undo and redo are available during editing. A saved project is different from a finished PNG, SVG or PDF, and is not stored in your account.

Is my artwork uploaded, and does this work on a phone?

Artwork stays on your device; previews and exports run in the browser. No AI models or external image services are involved. The 3D view needs browser graphics support, and larger exports may be slower on phones. If the 3D preview cannot start, the flat layout and template downloads remain available.

What people use it for

Compare branding on retail cartons, mailers and shipping boxes before ordering samples.
Preview jewellery or gift packaging with a separate lid and base.
Design an open-ended product sleeve or a sliding drawer with independently branded parts.
Explore curved pillow packaging for small gifts and accessories.
Share four packaging views with a client or teammate in one ZIP.
Print a paper prototype to check artwork placement and discuss fit with your packaging supplier.

How will your artwork look on a finished box?

A flat logo does not show how a design meets at corners, wraps around a sleeve or sits on a lid. Compare your branding on a folded preview and a flat layout before committing to a printed sample. Choose a retail carton, mailer, shipping box, two-piece gift box, open-ended sleeve, sliding drawer or curved pillow box.

The five visual presets — Sunday, Moss, Atelier, Daybreak and Good Things — change the sample branding, colours and finish, not the physical structure. They preserve your uploaded artwork and dimensions. You can replace the sample text with your own brand, tagline and small print, or start blank.

From panel artwork to a packaging preview

Select a face by clicking the 3D box or a panel in the flat template. Add PNG, JPG or WebP artwork, then fit or fill the panel, rotate it and adjust its position and size. Dragging and resizing happen in the small selected-panel editor, not directly on the 3D surface. Separate gift-box lids and drawer sleeves can carry their own artwork.

A PNG export captures your current camera view at 1600 × 1600 pixels; Pro adds 3200 × 3200 pixels. The four-angle download includes angled, front, back and top views as 1600-pixel PNGs, and restores your view afterwards. A transparent background can help when placing a mockup into a presentation. These are rendered design previews, not photographs of a manufactured product.

What can a printable template tell you?

SVG and PDF downloads contain actual-size prototype layouts with vector cut and fold paths. Artwork is rasterised, so these are not fully vector artwork files. The PDF is one custom-sized sheet, not automatically tiled across A4 or Letter pages. Print at 100%, rather than fit-to-page, and check that your printer supports the sheet dimensions.

A paper sample helps you review placement and discuss changes with a supplier, but the templates are not validated industrial dielines. Board thickness, production bleed, tolerances and structural fit are not guaranteed. The pillow shape uses approximate bowed faces and curved closure guides. Test the material, closures and fit before manufacture; the preview does not certify a working physical box.

Keep unfinished packaging designs private

Your artwork and exports are processed in your browser, without a file-upload service or external image renderer. Save an editable .boxmockup project locally to keep its settings and embedded artwork for another session. For related product imagery, use the Product Size Visualizer to illustrate dimensions or the Listing Photo Fixer to prepare real product photos.

How it works

1
Choose a structure and dimensions
Pick one of seven box structures. Enter dimensions in mm, cm or inches, within 15–600 mm per side. Gift-box dimensions describe the base; drawer dimensions describe the inner tray.
2
Add branding to each panel
Choose a visual preset or start blank. Click a face in the 3D preview or flat template, then add PNG, JPG or WebP artwork. Adjust fit, position, size and rotation in the selected-panel editor, and copy it to other faces if needed.
3
Check the view and folding
Rotate and zoom the preview, choose a camera angle, adjust folding and inspect separate parts. Choose a finish, background, transparency and ground shadow. Undo and redo let you revisit design changes.
4
Export or save your editable design
Download a PNG mockup, four camera angles as a ZIP, or an actual-size SVG/PDF prototype template. Save a local .boxmockup project to reopen with its artwork later. Print templates at 100% and check a physical sample before production.

Frequently asked questions

Seven structures are available: retail carton, mailer, shipping box, two-piece gift box, open-ended packaging sleeve, sliding drawer and curved pillow box. The five visual presets are branding styles, not additional physical shapes.
