Realistic product mockups, built from your real dieline

A realistic product mockup starts with accurate geometry. We build the 3D model from your actual dieline and dimensions, then apply your artwork with the right materials: the sheen of a soft-touch laminate, the shine of foil, the texture of uncoated paper. The result looks like a photograph because it is built like the real box.

Generic templates can look close, but small differences in proportion or material quickly make an image look fake. Because we also make the boxes, our models match what will arrive from production.

Mockups for every stage of a launch

Mockups are useful long before launch. They help you choose between design directions, show investors and retailers what is coming, and check that a design reads well at shelf distance. Later, they become website, marketplace and advertising images.

We can render closed and open boxes, exploded views showing inserts, groups of a whole range, and simple lifestyle scenes. Each image is supplied at the sizes you need for web, print or marketplaces.

Why not use a product mockup maker?

An online product mockup maker is fine for a quick idea. For launch images, it has limits: fixed templates, fixed proportions and materials that rarely match your actual finish. Custom 3D mockups are built for your exact box and can be adjusted as the design changes.

Custom mockups also scale better. Once the model is built, new variants, flavours or seasonal designs can be rendered quickly without new photography.

How to order product mockups

Send your dieline or box dimensions, artwork files, finishes and the images you need. We reply with questions and a fixed quote, then deliver first renders for review and adjust materials and lighting until they are right.

If you also need the packaging produced, we make rigid and printed boxes in our own factory from 500 units. Once stock is ready we still recommend real photography for product pages, and the mockups remain useful for new variants.
