How is Artboard Studio different from other box mockup tools?

Unlike most box mockup tools that only give you a fixed flat photo, most Artboard Studio mockups come on a transparent, isolated background - so you can set any surface, color, or full scene behind them, add props, and build your own composition. You also get AI image and video generation, and official Figma and Adobe Express plugins.

Box mockup FAQs

What is a box mockup?

A box mockup is a pre-made template that places your label, brand identity, or packaging artwork onto a realistic box without physical samples or a photoshoot. You get a polished, production-accurate visual in seconds for client sign-off, e-commerce listings, and packaging portfolio case studies.

What box styles and types are available?

Artboard Studio covers mailer boxes, product boxes, rigid gift boxes, tuck-end cartons, and subscription boxes in multiple sizes, in open-lid, closed, and three-quarter views across neutral and custom colorways, so you can present the full packaging system before printing.

Can I change the background or build my own scene?

Yes. Most box mockups come on a transparent, isolated background, so you can set any surface, color, or scene, add props, and build your own composition. Others come as ready-made scenes when you prefer a finished look.

Do I need Photoshop or Figma to use box mockups?

No. The online editor lets you apply your packaging artwork directly in the browser, with no software or production files required. You can also use the Artboard Studio Figma plugin or Adobe Express plugin without leaving your design environment.

What file formats can I export?

You can export a high-resolution PNG, JPEG, or WEBP for static deliverables, or MP4 and WEBM for motion presentations and unboxing video previews.

Can I use box mockups for commercial projects?

Yes. Every mockup includes a commercial license, cleared for client deliverables, e-commerce product listings, brand pitch decks, agency presentations, and design marketplace assets.
