Unwrap – Gift Box Generator for Blender

Wrapped gifts, bows and animated unboxing celebrations

See all my Blender addons >

Unwrap builds photoreal gift boxes in Blender with one click: the box, the wrapping paper, the ribbon and the bow, and a gift tag with your own words. Pick one of 16 designs from a picture gallery, change anything in the sidebar and the gift rebuilds live.

Then make it a party. Turn on an unboxing celebration and the gift shakes, bursts open and throws confetti, streamers, balloons and sparks into the air while your message rises out of the box. The animation plays straight from the timeline, with nothing to bake.

Every gift opens with a party

Shake, pop, burst: confetti, streamers, balloons and your own message, animated live on the timeline.

Questions

Which Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Do I need to bake or simulate the unboxing?

No. The unboxing is a Geometry Nodes animation driven by the timeline: scrub, play or render any frame right away, and change the timing in the sidebar.

Is the text real 3D text?

No. The tag and the message are printed as image textures on the card, banner or letters, so they stay light and export cleanly to game engines.
