What you will get

A photorealistic packaging mockup of your product in the format you chose, with your brand and product name on the label, a botanical illustration, a clean modern layout and soft daylight on a light wood surface.

Why it works

A mockup helps you judge a design before printing, so the prompt sets the box format, label text, illustration and colours. A light wood surface and soft daylight show it as a real object. Making several colour versions, as the tip says, lets you compare.

Common mistake

The brand name is spelt wrongly on the box.

Fix: Keep the name short and in quotes. If letters break, generate the box without text and add the name in a design tool.

Also watch for

The window shows the wrong contents. Describe what is visible through it: “loose green tea leaves visible through the window”.
The colours do not match your brand. Name colours in words, such as “sage green and warm cream”, and use the tip to compare several versions side by side.

Try a variation: gift pack

Change the format to “a gift pack with three small tins in a cardboard sleeve”. Keep one illustration style across all three so they look like one range.
