How it works

  1. Upload your product photo

    Drop a photo of the physical product or container you want to apply the design to. This is the main image — the bottle, box, bag, jar, or can that will receive your packaging artwork. Use a well-lit photo showing the surface where the label goes. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple flat-surface composites: 30 seconds. Curved bottles or complex wrapping: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Add your packaging design as reference

    Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt and upload your label or packaging design file. Flat design exports work best — PNG or high-res JPG of the artwork. Then describe the compositing: 'composite the label design from the reference onto the bottle, wrapping around the curved surface naturally with correct perspective.'

    Tip: Export your design as a flat PNG with transparent or white background. The cleaner the artwork file, the more realistic the composite.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Label design on a bottle for client presentation composite the label design from the reference onto the front of this bottle, wrapping around the curved surface naturally with correct perspective, matching the studio lighting
    Box artwork on a product carton map this packaging artwork from the reference onto the front panel of the box, matching the camera angle and perspective, with the printed surface showing realistic paper texture
    Can design on an aluminum can composite this can design from the reference onto the aluminum can, wrapping 360 degrees around the cylinder with metallic surface reflections and correct label curvature
    Jar label on a glass jar apply this label design from the reference onto the glass jar, positioned centered on the front face, with the label conforming to the jar's curved surface and the glass visible above and below
    4 more prompts
    Pouch design on a stand-up bag composite this pouch design from the reference onto the stand-up bag, mapping the artwork to the front panel with realistic matte finish and subtle crinkle texture on the surface
    Sleeve design on a bottle with shrink wrap apply this shrink sleeve design from the reference around the entire bottle, wrapping from neck to base with the artwork conforming to the bottle's contour and showing realistic shrink-wrap tightness
    Redesigned label replacing existing branding replace the current label on this product with the new design from the reference, matching the exact label area and preserving the product shape, cap, and background
    Multiple design variations for A/B testing composite this label variation from the reference onto the product in the same position and scale as the original label, matching the lighting and surface curvature exactly
  3. Generate and review

    The AI composites your design onto the product surface, matching curvature, perspective, and lighting. Check that the label wraps correctly around curves, text is readable, colors match your design file, and the surface interaction looks natural. Zoom in on edges where the label meets the product.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the design lands on the wrong face of the product or at the wrong scale, tap a marker on the exact surface area where the label should sit and regenerate. Useful for multi-sided containers where the AI picks the wrong panel.

    Tip: Tap the center of the label area on the product. This anchors the design to the correct face of the container.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Packaging Design Agencies

Show clients how their packaging design will look on the actual product before printing. Upload the product container photo and composite your label artwork directly onto it. Faster than 3D rendering, more convincing than flat mockup templates.

Common Scenarios

  • Label artwork composited onto client's bottle for design review
  • Box design mapped onto product carton for pitch presentation
  • Multiple design variations shown on the same product for A/B comparison
  • Revision composites sent to client within minutes instead of days

Best Practices

  • Use the client's actual product photo for maximum approval impact
  • Export designs as flat PNG files at high resolution for crisp composites
  • Include 'with realistic surface texture showing through' for paper labels
  • Create multiple versions quickly by swapping only the reference image between runs

CPG Brand Teams

Preview packaging redesigns on existing product photos without printing samples. Upload a photo of your current product and composite the new design over it. Perfect for internal reviews, retailer presentations, and go-to-market materials before committing to a print run.

Common Scenarios

  • New label design composited onto existing SKU photo for brand review
  • Seasonal packaging variation previewed on current product shot
  • Retailer pitch deck with redesigned packaging on shelf-ready product
  • Line extension packaging shown on product family photo

Best Practices

  • Photograph your product from the exact angle buyers see on shelf for realistic previews
  • Match the design file's color profile to how it will appear printed on the substrate
  • Include 'preserving the product shape and shadows' so the AI doesn't alter the container
  • For glossy products, add 'with realistic specular highlight on the label surface'

Food & Beverage Startups

See your label design on a real bottle, can, or pouch before placing a print order. Upload a photo of the blank container or a competitor's product, then composite your design onto it. Get investor-ready product visuals without manufacturing a single unit.

Common Scenarios

  • Craft beer label composited onto blank bottle for investor deck
  • Hot sauce brand label previewed on glass bottle before first print run
  • Kombucha can design shown on aluminum can photo for crowdfunding page
  • Coffee bag design composited onto stand-up pouch for e-commerce listing

Best Practices

  • Use blank or unbranded container photos for the cleanest composites
  • For curved containers like bottles and cans, specify 'wrapping around the cylinder' in your prompt
  • Photograph containers at the angle your label design was created for
  • Add 'with the label adhering to the surface texture' for matte or kraft paper finishes

If something looks off

Design looks flat and pasted on instead of wrapped around the surface

Why: The AI applied the design as a flat overlay instead of mapping it to the product's 3D surface curvature.

Try: composite the design wrapping around the product's curved surface with correct cylindrical perspective, conforming to the container shape

Tip: Include the container shape in your prompt: 'wrapping around the cylinder' for bottles/cans, 'mapping to the flat panel' for boxes.

Label scale is wrong — too large or too small for the product

Why: The AI misjudged the proportional relationship between the design file dimensions and the product's label area.

Try: composite the label design at correct scale, covering only the label area between the neck and base of the bottle, not extending past the edges

Tip: Describe the label boundaries explicitly: 'from 2 inches below the cap to 1 inch above the base' or 'filling the front panel only.'

Design lighting doesn't match the product photo

Why: The flat design file has no lighting information, so the AI didn't adjust it to match the product's highlight and shadow directions.

Try: composite the design matching the product's lighting direction, with a subtle highlight on the left side of the label matching the bottle's specular reflection

Tip: Describe where the light hits the product: 'light from the left' or 'overhead studio lighting.' The AI will shade the label to match.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which surface you meant from description alone. This happens with multi-sided containers or products with multiple label areas.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific surface area where you want the label placed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS face specifically.' Use them when a product has front, back, and side panels.

Design text is distorted or unreadable after compositing

Why: The AI over-warped the design when mapping it to a curved surface, stretching fine text and small details.

Try: composite the design with minimal distortion, keeping text legible and preserving fine typography details on the label

Tip: Use high-resolution design files (300 DPI or above). Low-res artwork loses detail when the AI warps it onto a curved surface.

Edges between label and product show harsh seams

Why: The boundary between the composited label and the product surface shows visible hard edges or color halos.

Try: blend the label edges seamlessly into the product surface, with soft natural transitions where the label meets the container

Tip: Add 'with feathered edges at the label boundary' for cleaner transitions, especially on glass containers where the label edge should look adhered.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where to place the packaging design on the product?

No. Describe the placement in words: 'composite the label onto the front of the bottle' or 'map the design onto the front panel of the box.' The AI understands surface references like 'front face,' 'cylinder,' and 'flat panel.' Use markers only when the product has multiple label areas and the AI keeps choosing the wrong one.

How do I put my packaging design on a real product photo?

Upload the product photo as your main image, then click '+ Add reference image' and upload your flat design file (PNG or high-res JPG). Describe how to apply it: 'composite the label from the reference onto the bottle, wrapping around the curved surface.' The AI maps the design onto the product in 30 seconds, handling perspective, curvature, and lighting automatically.

Is there a free tool to preview packaging designs on real product photos?

Yes. EditThisPic lets you composite any packaging design file onto any product photo completely free, with no signup and no watermark. Upload your product photo and design file, describe the placement, and download the result. One free edit per week, or purchase credits starting at $1.99 for more.

What design file format works best as a reference?

Flat PNG exports at high resolution (300 DPI or above) produce the cleanest composites. The design should show just the artwork — no dielines, bleed marks, or surrounding whitespace. If you have an Illustrator or InDesign file, export the print-ready face as a flat PNG. Transparent backgrounds are fine and sometimes help the AI isolate the artwork.

How is this different from the packaging label swap page?

The label swap page is a single-photo tool — you upload one product photo and describe the new label in text. This page is a two-photo operation: you upload the product photo AND your actual design file as a reference image. Use this when you have a specific design file you want to see on a product. Use the label swap page when you want AI to generate a label from a description.

Can I composite my design onto a curved bottle or can?

Yes. The AI handles cylindrical wrapping for bottles, cans, and jars. Include 'wrapping around the curved surface' or 'conforming to the cylinder' in your prompt. The AI bends the flat design to match the container's curvature. Results are most realistic when the product photo shows the full curve and your design file is proportioned for the container's diameter.

What is the best free AI tool for packaging design mockups on real products?

EditThisPic is a strong option for compositing actual design files onto real product photos. Unlike traditional mockup templates that use pre-built 3D scenes, you upload your own product photo and your own design file. The AI handles perspective, curvature, and lighting automatically. Free to try with no account required.

Can I compare multiple design variations on the same product?

Yes. Run the same prompt multiple times, swapping only the reference image for each design variation. Each result shows a different label on the identical product photo. This creates consistent A/B comparison shots for client reviews, team feedback, or focus group testing — all without printing a single sample.
