Mailer Box Mockup Templates

The unboxing moment has turned mailer boxes into a branding canvas. What used to be a plain brown corrugated shipper is now a custom-printed, Instagram-worthy brand experience. Subscription box companies, DTC brands, and boutique e-commerce stores all invest in custom mailer box design, and they need mockups to visualize the result before committing to a print run.

What's included: standard tuck-end mailer boxes, roll-end tuck-front boxes, book-style rigid mailers, and corrugate shipping boxes in multiple sizes. Views range from closed box with lid graphics visible, partially open showing the interior print, fully open flat (die-line spread), and lifestyle scenes with tissue paper, products, and packing materials spilling out.

The interior printing is what differentiates mailer box mockups from generic box templates. A luxury brand might print a pattern, message, or contrasting color inside the lid so it's revealed on opening. These mockups handle that with separate smart object layers for exterior and interior surfaces. The partially-open view is the money shot - it shows both the outside branding and the interior surprise simultaneously.

Materials and finishes across the collection include:

• Natural kraft corrugated - the eco-conscious look
• White corrugated - clean canvas for vibrant printing
• Rigid board - premium feel for luxury and cosmetic brands
• Matte and gloss coated finishes
• Spot UV and foil overlay options on select templates

Each PSD file has editable layers for box surface color, print artwork, interior color or print, and background. The corrugation texture on cardboard templates is rendered realistically - you can see the flute lines on the cut edges and the slight surface undulation that real corrugated board has.

Die-line spread views tend to be at the higher end since they cover more surface area while maintaining detail.

Packaging designers, branding agencies, and subscription box companies are the most common users. A packaging designer presenting three mailer box concepts to a DTC client saves weeks of sampling time by using mockups for the first round of approvals. Subscription box brands use mockups for investor decks, crowdfunding campaigns, and social media teasers before their custom boxes are actually manufactured.

For e-commerce brands evaluating packaging upgrades, mockups help compare options. How does a kraft exterior with a bright pink interior look versus an all-white box with minimal black type? You can answer that question in ten minutes with the right mockup files instead of ordering (and paying for) multiple sample runs.

Can I customize both the exterior and interior of the box?

Most templates include separate smart object layers for exterior artwork and interior surfaces. The partially-open view is specifically designed to showcase both the outside branding and interior print simultaneously.

What box styles are included?

Standard tuck-end mailers, roll-end tuck-front boxes, book-style rigid mailers, and corrugated shipping boxes. Sizes range from small product mailers to larger subscription box dimensions. Multiple viewing angles are included per set.

Are kraft and white corrugated options available?

Natural kraft and white corrugated are both well-represented. The corrugation texture shows realistically on cut edges and surfaces. Rigid board options are also available for premium packaging presentations.

Are these useful for subscription box businesses?

Subscription box companies use mailer box mockups for investor presentations, crowdfunding visuals, social media teasers, and packaging design approval rounds - all before committing to a manufacturing run.
