A 3D mockup of a perfume box: a tall folding carton with a tuck flap at each end. Set it to your own bottle, keep it white or switch to kraft, and print all four sides.

Wiki
Most perfume is sold in a folding carton: a tall, narrow box of thin paperboard that protects the bottle and carries the brand. The common construction is the straight tuck end, where the top and bottom closures are hinged on the same wall. In the ECMA code of carton styles it is A20.20.01.01.
The four walls are one strip of paperboard glued along a seam, so the carton is delivered flat and springs into a tube. Each end has a closure panel with a tuck flap and two small dust flaps. On a straight tuck end both closures open toward the back, so the front panel has no raw edge at the top. Our model has 13 panels and 12 crease lines.
The carton is sized to the bottle with a few millimetres to spare. This one starts at 75 × 40 × 160 mm (3.0 × 1.6 × 6.3 in); at that size the flat sheet measures 238 × 258 mm. Cartons like this are cut from coated paperboard of about 350 gsm, or 16 to 18 pt (0.4 to 0.5 mm).
Perfume cartons are printed in full color on white board and often finished with foil, embossing or a matte coating. Those finishes are added at the printer; the mockup shows your artwork and the board color.
Each perfume carton is cut to its bottle. These are real carton sizes to start from.
| Carton | Inside, in millimetres | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Slim, for a flat bottle | 75 × 40 × 160 mm | The size this mockup starts at. |
| Square, mid-size | 53 × 53 × 130 mm | A size sold as a custom perfume carton |
| Stock carton, tall | 57 × 57 × 152 mm (2.25 × 2.25 × 6 in) | A stock folding-carton size |
| Stock carton, short | 57 × 57 × 83 mm (2.25 × 2.25 × 3.25 in) | Minis and travel sizes |
There is no standard perfume carton: each one is cut to its bottle. Measure yours with the cap on and add 2 to 3 mm each way.
A fragrance is judged by its box long before the bottle is opened.

Show the client every panel, not one fixed front view.

Hand in a carton that folds, with the dieline to prove it.

Measure the bottle with its cap, add a few millimetres and type the inside length, width and height. The editor accepts 30–250 × 20–150 × 50–350 mm. Width can be up to the length.

Click Upload artwork and drop your design on the flat sheet. The four walls sit side by side, with the glue flap at one edge and the closures above and below.

Drag the Fold slider: the flat carton squares up, the bottom tucks in, then the top. Check that the front panel reads the right way up.

Render a JPG or PNG up to 4K for a line sheet or a store page. Export the dieline as a PDF or SVG at full size and send it to your carton printer. Ask them to check it against their own board and machines and to make a sample before the full run: board thickness, tolerances and glue areas differ from one factory to the next.
Every box opens in the same live 3D editor.
Three kinds of file come out of the same project. The picture is for showing the box; the dieline is for making it.
| File | Format | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Image | JPG or PNG, 2K or 4K | Store pages, pitch decks, social posts |
| Cut-out | PNG with a transparent background | Your own layouts and product photos |
| Dieline | PDF or SVG at full size, 238 × 258 mm at the starting size | Your printer or box maker: cut lines, crease lines and your artwork in place |
The dieline is drawn from the size and board you set. It is a starting file for your printer, who will check it against their own board, machines and glue areas and make a sample before a full run.
Short answers about sizes, materials and files.
It depends on the bottle; there is no standard. Custom perfume cartons are sold at sizes such as 53 × 53 × 130 mm, and stock folding cartons at 57 × 57 × 152 mm (2.25 × 2.25 × 6 in). This mockup starts at 75 × 40 × 160 mm and takes any size within 30–250 × 20–150 × 50–350 mm. Width can be up to the length.
Set the size of your bottle, click Upload artwork and place your design on the dieline, then render the image. It runs in your browser.
No. The page shows the carton on its own, so the picture is of your packaging. Place the exported PNG next to your bottle photo in your own layout.
Not yet. The mockup shows your printed artwork and the board color. Foil, embossing and coatings are finishes you specify to the printer.
Yes. Export the dieline as a PDF or SVG at full size for the carton you set. Ask them to check it against their own board and machines and to make a sample before the full run: board thickness, tolerances and glue areas differ from one factory to the next.
Yes. Choose Transparent in the Background panel and the box downloads as a PNG with no background, ready to drop into your own layout.
