FMCG Packaging Samples

Food packaging mockup:
Test design and function before production

In the FMCG sector, your product is evaluated in a matter of seconds. A physical food packaging mockup in 1:1 scale allows you to test the packaging's construction, materials, functionality, and visual appearance in reality before investing in printing and mass production.

Realistic 1:1 food packaging mockup for FMCG products

  • Visual and tactile control

    Evaluate colors, graphics, and the overall look of the packaging under realistic conditions. Feel the material in your hand and see how your brand stands out on the store shelf.

  • Functionality testing

    Test whether the packaging supports the right user experience. Check if it is easy to open, close, and handle, and whether the product information is easily legible.

  • Minimize risk and waste

    Small, timely adjustments prevent costly printing errors and inappropriate material choices. This ensures a faster process and a stronger basis for decision-making.

Evaluation & Process

Specialists in realistic packaging prototypes for FMCG

In a busy food industry, packaging must both protect the contents and sell the product. At Exemplar, we produce realistic 3D visualizations and physical mockups in just a few days, allowing you to quickly test, present, and fine-tune your design. In addition to retail use, our models are frequently used for internal approvals, sales meetings, trade shows, and photoshoots.

We guide you safely from the initial design to the finished box mockup. Through a thorough design check, we adapt your files to the packaging specifications, after which the graphics are printed on the right paperboard, corrugated cardboard, or plastic material. Finally, the model is die-cut, folded, and assembled so it feels perfect in your hand.

Wide range of packaging types: Whether your project involves confectionery, beverages, convenience products, cosmetics, or a more complex and unconventional packaging solution, we simulate the right surface finish – from gloss and matte to soft-touch and spot UV varnish.

Special requirements for food packaging: From grease resistance to window film

Food packaging places unique demands on both material structure and functionality. A mockup for food products often needs to simulate more than just the visual print; it must help you evaluate how the packaging handles everyday use. Whether you need to test a grease-resistant coating for convenience products, perforations for easy opening of snack pouches, or integrated plastic windows that give consumers a clear view of the product, we can replicate these precise characteristics in your prototype. This gives you peace of mind that the packaging presents the food appetizingly while maintaining top-tier logistical function.

Packaging Categories

Typical types of food packaging

We recreate all common packaging formats in the FMCG sector, giving you a completely lifelike prototype to hold.

  • Cartons & Folding Boxes

    Classic boxes for frozen foods, dry goods, confectionery, and breakfast cereals. We simulate the correct grain direction, crease lines, and closure flaps so the box closes perfectly.

  • Bottles, Cans & Glass

    Beverages, oils, sauces, and preserves. We can produce realistic sleeves, labels, and stickers with special effects that match the packaging's curvature precisely.

  • Flexible Packaging

    Stand-up pouches, snack bags, coffee bags, and flow packs. The prototype is made in the right film material with a metallic or transparent finish.

  • Convenience & Cups

    Salad bowls, yogurt cups, ready meals, and matching top lidding films. We test the transition between the rigid packaging base and the flexible film lid.

  • Corrugated Board & Display Solutions

    Outer packaging, multipacks, and shelf-ready packaging (SRP). Crucial for testing how your products present themselves collectively when retail staff place them directly on the shelf.
