Your prompt

Create a 4:5 concept image of a rigid two-piece gift box with a lift-off lid for premium loose-leaf tea, shown in a boutique shelf. Packaging: square matte-finish cardboard with a soft-touch coating, in deep charcoal. The front label area is a plain, empty rectangle with no text or artwork, positioned centred on the front face, so real label artwork can be added afterward in an editor. Scene: a pale oak shelf with two other unlabelled boxes slightly blurred in the background. Light: soft diffused daylight from the front left, with a soft contact shadow and realistic material reflections. Style: premium, minimal, believable; the packaging is the hero. Constraints: no text, no brand names, no logos, no barcodes, no invented regulatory marks.

  2. Use for concept review and mock retail scenes, not final production art.
  3. Keep regulatory marks and barcodes for your real dielines.

Limitations

  • Concept visuals only: dimensions, materials and print finishes are not engineered or production-accurate.
  • Models invent text-like marks on packaging; remove any before use.
