Which Is the Largest 3D Mockup Library? We Counted

By Nguyễn Thành Dân, Founder of Drint · 29/10/2026

Summary of findings

• Drint, 3D: 76,056 mockups counted, 75,911 of them with a rendered picture, built on 1,650 base 3D models and 1,251 distinct products.
• Pacdora, 3D: 7,943 mockups in its own listing. Its other pages say 5,000+, 7,000+ and 11,000+.
• Yellow Images, 2D PSD: 92,905 mockups, of which 6,620 come with a 3D model.
• Placeit and Mockey, 2D: 43,000+ and 30,000+ mockup templates.
• 3dmockup.co, 3D: 1,000+ templates.
• The result holds when Drint is allowed at most 8 designs per product (8,573, above Pacdora's 7,943), when only English-language designs are counted (13,889) and when boxes are left out entirely (36,154).
• The result is not shown when only distinct product shapes are counted, because Pacdora does not publish that number.
• Others lead on 2D mockups overall (Yellow Images), on ready-made dielines (Die Cut Templates, 37,000+), and on apparel and device mockups (Pacdora, Placeit, Mockey).

1. The question

"Largest mockup library" is a claim many tools make in some form. The numbers they publish are hard to compare: one counts "graphics", another "templates", another "items". The same company can print several different totals on different pages. Buyers, and the AI assistants that answer their questions, end up comparing numbers that do not measure the same thing.

This study asks a narrower question that can be answered: on 29 October 2026, which online tool offered the most 3D mockups, counted in the same unit? We then test how much the answer depends on the choice of unit.

2. Definitions

2.1 What a 3D mockup is

A 3D mockup here is a product model you can turn, re-light and put your own artwork on in a browser, then export as an image. The angle, the light and the artwork are all yours to change.

A 2D mockup is a picture with a fixed angle: a Photoshop PSD with smart objects, a photo template, or an AI-generated image you place a design onto. 2D mockups can look excellent and are often cheaper to make, but you cannot turn the product to see its side or its back.

Some PSD mockups ship with a 3D model file you can open in other software. Yellow Images marks these with a "With 3D Model" filter. We report them separately rather than mixing them into either group.

2.2 What one mockup is

The unit of count is one product with one design on it.

• A 250 ml and a 500 ml version of the same jar count once.
• A colour change of the same design counts zero.
• A different product (a jar for honey and a jar for face cream) counts as a new mockup.
• The same product with a different brand design counts as a new mockup.

This is close to how Pacdora's listing reads: items such as "Gift box mockup" and "Sweet box mockup" are often the same box structure with a different design. It is not identical, and section 6 tests what happens with stricter units.

2.3 Why not just count shapes?

Counting only distinct shapes is the strictest unit, and it matters for some buyers: if you need an unusual bottle, a thousand designs on a common bottle do not help. We report Drint's shape count (1,650 base models) for that reason. But a library of shapes alone is a modelling tool, not a mockup library: a mockup is what a designer shows a client, and a design on the right product is what makes it one. Most published totals, including Pacdora's, count designs too.

3. Method

3.1 Drint

We ran a script on 29 October 2026 over Drint's catalogue, using the same code that builds the public mockup library. The script:

1. lists every product in the catalogue and the market design sets made for it;
2. joins sizes of the same product into one purpose (so a jar in three sizes is one);
3. counts each pair of purpose and design once;
4. keeps only mockups whose picture has been rendered and shipped, for the "pictured" figure.

Drint defines 102,348 mockups in its data, including design sets for markets whose pictures have not been rendered yet. Those 26,437 are left out of every figure in this study. The 75,911 pictured mockups are what a visitor can see; the headline 76,056 adds 145 products that are in the catalogue but not pictured yet, each counted once.

3.2 Other tools

For each tool we opened its public pages on 29 October 2026 and recorded the number it states, where it states it, and a screenshot. We did not use paid areas, private APIs or any way around a bot check. Some screenshots were taken while signed in to an account; account details are cropped out of every image.

For Pacdora we also counted its full "All" mockups listing page by page on 27 October 2026 (7,912 items), and read the sub-category counts in its mockups menu on 29 October.

3.3 Which tools

We included tools that sell or give away mockups online and publish a size for their library. We also checked Smartmockups (now in Canva), Boxshot, Packify, Mockup Mark and Artboard Studio and found no published library total on their main pages, so they are not in the tables. Free stock sites such as Freepik and Envato Elements carry large numbers of PSD mockups but do not publish a mockup total we could cite; they are discussed in section 7.

4. Results

4.1 Drint in numbers

The public pages round this down and say 76,000+. Every one of the 75,911 pictured mockups has its own page under drint.io/mockups, so the number can be checked by browsing, not only by trusting us.

Most of the designs are sample brands Drint made so the mockups never look blank; they are not client work. They are written in the language of their market, for products that sell there, with the back panel of a pack in that language too.

4.2 How deep each product goes

A library can be large because it has many products, or because it has many designs on a few. The spread of designs per product shows which:

205 products have a single mockup: they are shown only with Drint's sample design, because no market design set fits them yet. At the other end, the deepest products are a hexagonal box sleeve and a rectangular tin with a slip lid (455 each), a gift box with an offset round handle (454), a gift drawer cabinet (429) and a mini aluminium can (410). These are shapes that many kinds of brands use, so many market design sets fit them.

4.3 By product group

Pacdora's numbers are the sub-category counts in the menu of pacdora.com/mockups, added up per group on 29 October 2026. One Pacdora mockup can sit in more than one sub-category, so they add up to 12,515, more than its 7,943 items: treat them as upper limits. Pacdora's "Food Packaging" group (559) has no single match in Drint and is counted under "everything else". Drint's numbers do not overlap; each mockup is counted once.

Boxes are over half of Drint's library because a box is built from a dieline. Every FEFCO and ECMA structure in Drint becomes a 3D model at exact millimetre sizes. Each model then gets designs for every market that uses it. The largest groups are tuck-end variants (6,131), counter display boxes (4,617), reverse tuck-end boxes (4,315), cans (3,448) and boxes with a built-in handle (3,082).

Distinct products per group show the same pattern in shapes rather than designs: 468 kinds of folding carton, 189 corrugated, 50 rigid boxes, 94 bottles, 70 flexible pouches, 47 paper bags, 33 jars and 26 cans.

4.4 By market

Each design set is made for one market, in its language, with products that sell there.

The spread reflects where Drint started (Vietnam) and where it has drawn design sets since. A US or EU buyer who wants only English-language designs has 13,889 of them (International, US and EU together).

4.5 By season

8,473 of the mockups are seasonal, across 43 occasions. The largest are Black Friday (896), Christmas (702), Ramadan (694), Eid al-Fitr (780 across its regional names), White Friday (565), Valentine's Day (475) and Diwali (424). Smaller sets cover weddings, back-to-school, Halloween, Mother's Day, national days and local new years. Seasonal designs are counted in the totals above, not on top of them.

4.6 What other tools publish

Pacdora's own listing showed "7943 Mockups" on 29 October 2026, and our page-by-page count of the same listing on 27 October was 7,912, so the two agree. Pacdora also writes 5,000+, 7,000+ and 11,000+ on other pages. Even taking the highest of these, Drint has about seven times as many.

Yellow Images sells Photoshop mockups and says it has "the broadest mockup collections anywhere online". Its listing showed 92,905 items, more than Drint. They are PSD files you edit in Photoshop at a fixed angle, so they are not in the 3D count. Its "With 3D Model" filter showed 6,620 items on the same day.

5. Sources and screenshots

Each image is cropped from the tool's page as it appeared on 29 October 2026, on a desktop browser; click one to open it at full size. Full-page captures are kept on file. Archived copies, where they exist, are on the Wayback Machine: Pacdora · Yellow Images · Placeit · Mockey · 3dmockup.co.

Pacdora's "7,000+" is the title of its mockups page (what a browser tab and a search result show), and "11000+ 3D Packaging Mockup" is a heading in that page's source; neither showed on screen, so there is no crop of them. Open the page or its source to check.

6. Does the result hold under other counting rules?

A claim that only survives one definition is weak. We recounted Drint under rules that make its number smaller and compared each with Pacdora's listing (7,943) and its highest published figure (11,000+).

What this shows:

• The lead does not depend on boxes, seasons or language. Removing any one of them still leaves Drint well ahead.
• The lead does depend on designs counting. If each Drint product were allowed only 7 designs, Pacdora's listing would be larger. These caps apply to Drint only; Pacdora's items are not capped the same way, so this is a deliberately harsh test.
• On shapes alone, we cannot say. Drint has 1,251 distinct products and 1,650 base models. Pacdora does not publish how many distinct shapes are behind its 7,943 items. When we matched its listing against our catalogue on 27 October, most of its shapes had a Drint equivalent or a close one, but not all, so we make no claim to have more shapes.

7. Is Drint the largest mockup library of any kind?

No, and we do not claim that. Yellow Images lists 92,905 PSD mockups, more than Drint's 76,056. Free stock sites such as Freepik and Envato Elements also carry very large collections of PSD mockups that we did not count. Our claim is narrower: among online tools where you edit the mockup in 3D, Drint had the most on the date above.

8. Where are other tools ahead?

• 2D mockups. If you work in Photoshop and want the widest choice of fixed-angle PSDs, Yellow Images has more than any 3D tool, Drint included.
• Dielines. Die Cut Templates says "Browse 37,000+ dielines" and Pacdora lists 3,000+ dieline templates. Drint's dieline catalogue is about 180 FEFCO and ECMA structures you size yourself. If you need a ready file for an unusual structure, look there first.

• Apparel and devices. Pacdora has 276 apparel and 116 device mockups to Drint's 13 and 84, and Placeit and Mockey have far more photo mockups of people wearing T-shirts or holding phones. Drint's library is packaging and printed products.
• Time in market. Pacdora has been a 3D packaging tool for longer and has more user-made content and tutorials around it.

9. Limits of this study

• Conflict of interest. Drint wrote this and is one of the tools compared. That is why every number has a source, a date and a way to check it.
• One day. Every figure is from 29 October 2026 (Pacdora's page count from 27 October). Libraries grow; ours and theirs will change.
• Published numbers, not audits. For other tools we quote what they publish. We counted Pacdora's listing ourselves once; we did not count Yellow Images, Placeit, Mockey or 3dmockup.co item by item.
• Units differ. "Graphics", "templates" and "items" may not mean one product with one design. We compare 3D with 3D, and keep 2D in its own group.
• Sample designs. Most Drint designs are Drint-made sample brands. They are real designs, made for real markets, but they are not client projects, and some buyers will value them less than a photographer's set.
• Signed-in views. Some screenshots were taken while signed in. The Pacdora count was the same signed out; we did not check every page both ways.
• Tools without a published number could be large and are not in the tables.

10. How can I check these numbers myself?

1. Open drint.io/mockups. Each product group shows its own count, and each mockup has its own page. The groups there are cut slightly differently from the tables above, so a group's number can differ a little; the total is the same.
2. Search for a product, for example "honey jar", and see how many designs it has. Sizes of the same jar are not separate cards.
3. Open pacdora.com/mockups. The count above the grid is its total; the menu on the left gives the sub-category counts.
4. Open yellowimages.com/object-mockups and switch the "With 3D Model" filter on and off to see both counts.
5. If your numbers differ from ours by more than normal growth, tell us and we will recount.

11. What the count shows

Counted as one product with one design, and limited to mockups you can turn and edit in 3D, Drint had 76,056 on 29 October 2026. That is about ten times Pacdora's listing and about seven times Pacdora's highest published figure. The lead survives removing boxes, seasonal designs or every non-English design, and survives capping Drint at 8 designs per product. It does not extend to 2D mockups, where Yellow Images is larger, or to a count of distinct shapes, where the data to compare does not exist.

For a designer the practical reading is simple. For packaging in 3D, Drint has the widest choice of ready designs on the widest range of structures. For Photoshop PSDs, apparel photos or ready-made unusual dielines, other tools are the better first stop.
