Greetings once again, we know you are wearing your design caps firmly! You must have read on our very first blog how DesignMocker is a sweet breeze in creating wonderful mockups. We illustrated how our tool helps one’s imagination pan out through our game – if you never got it, no problem, you can catch up here. Nevertheless, today we are even more excited about our creativity, and here’s our second post.
Preparing to leap into the top 5 mockups that you can create using DesignMocker in the blink of an eye. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced or a beginner designer since these mockups will make you exclaim ‘I made that?!’ in no time. All set to go? Alright, let’s get it on!
1. Box Mockups: Unbox Your Creativity
Want to start with something that is tried and true but equally adaptable- a box mockup? Imagine yourself designing a packing for the latest gadget accessory or packing a subscription package that everyone would buy. It is about bringing the mock-up into 3D that DesignMocker will manage to do faster than you say ‘unbox therapy’.
Why Box Mockups Rock:
- Customization Galore: Everything from the dimensions to the structure and even the number of flaps and folds can all be improved to meet your expectations.
- Branding Brilliance: Add some logos, change the colors, and that’s it! Your brand are put away in the closet, looking neat and business-like.
- Versatile Use: Regardless of whether you are looking for promotional or product boxes, a properly designed box mockup will serve to uplift the project no end.
Design Tips:
- Play with Dimensions: Let your imagination thrive and make everything flat – even the angles if you wish. Who says a box has to be square only?
- Add Some Texture: A matte finish? Work on Jewelry designs with more durability for users. Virtual Mock-up is an alternative way; to view how textures enhance designs.
2. Bottle Mockups: Pour Your Ideas into Reality
Ready for the next thing? The next thing up is bottles. Be it a new drink, a high-end skincare brand, or even a funny craft beer, a bottle mockup allows you to see how the final product will actually look. When it comes to creating the label with DesignMocker, there are no challenges left, it is as easy as pouring a drink.
Why Bottle Mockups Shine:
- Shape and Style: Shapes can be customized as well — tall or short, round or square. Then you can adjust minor details such as the type of cap and where the label goes.
- Label Love: This is your label’s commercial. With our mockup tool, you’ll get a 3D vision of how the label design would wrap around the bottle.
- Material Matters: Glass, plastic, or metal? With DesignMocker, you will have an opportunity to check how your design looks on various materials.
Design Tips:
- Highlight the Details: When you zoom in, be sure to check whether the label text is legible and the design details are crisp.
- Experiment with Colors: Think of different color combinations for your product so it does not fade away into other products when on the computer and eventually into stores.
3. Tube Mockups: Squeeze Out Every Ounce of Creativity
Recall all the products that sell inside tubes such as cosmetics, dentifrices, and sauces etc. It’s very easy to remember how tubes are everywhere. Well, right now with DesignMocker, they can also be on your screen looking stunning. It doesn’t matter whether you are working on a tube design for a new skincare line or a gourmet food product- a tube mock-up tells you how every ounce of your design is going to be squeezed out.
Why Tube Mockups Are a Must:
- Total Control: Change the caps and the tube sizes; even vary the length and shape to suit the perfect design.
- Smooth Wrapping: Step back and see the design of the wrap being applied over the tube so that there are no ugly cuts or misfits.
- Material Play: It could be a glossy or a matte plastic finish or metallic. DesignMocker shows you how the design works under various factors.
Design Tips:
- Cap it Off Right: The cap is a little hard to design and often ignored. It does need to fit any one of the aesthetics. Pick one that is inline with the beauty of the rest of the design.
- Focus on Flow: If there is a pattern or some other construction that needs to be repeated on a tube, the design has to be well-rounded towards the flow of the tube.
4. Paper Bag Mockups: Carry Your Brand in Style
Paper bags are not used only for covering food and odd things only. Those bags are made more interesting and intended for promotion of brands/retail or events. Be it a bag for a chic boutique or a swag bag for a corporate event, you will not look out of place with a paper bag mockup with DesignMocker and be in class with your brand.
Why Paper Bag Mockups Are Trendy:
- Eco-Friendly: Since people are concerned about the eco-friendliness of the products they use, paper bags allow flaunting your brand commitment to the eco-friendly side.
- Brand Visibility: The paper bag speaks for its owner when carried out in public. Attention should be on how the logo and message are incorporated into the bag.
- Event Ready: Such simple accessories are effective for trade fairs or for other promotional activities where the brand seeks the target customers.
Design Tips:
- Think Outside the Bag: Different handle styles or even different shapes will take your designs a step deeper.
- Keep It Clean: Less messy designs do work, in some cases, however, their extremes do not verily impact the designs.
5. Packaging Mockups: Wrap Up Your Creativity
Let’s take a moment to explain packaging. Be it a sleek and modern affair or slightly rustic in appearance, the whole aspect of packaging is to showcase the item in the best possible way. With DesignMocker’s packaging mockup tools, you can play around with several combinations of materials, finishes and styles to achieve what you want.
Why Packaging Mockups Are Essential:
- You Never Get A Second Chance to Make The First Impression: It is the packaging that most of the time captivates the customers. This should be love at first sight – make the packaging design stunning.
- Material Choices: DesignMocker allows you to play with other materials other than only these three – cardboard, paper, and plastic and this is done to explore which is most suitable for the product.
- Finish Line: Preview almost every finish for your packaging that includes a flat mat for an elegant touch or a glossy finish quality for the attention-grabbing.
Design Tips:
- Play with Layers: Add variety to your design by incorporating different textures, finishes and materials. Consider using extra decorating techniques, such as embossing and foil stamping.
- Consistent Branding: All packaging design elements need to fit in with the general brand positioning to make all elements appear as one unified design.
