A product catalogue looks better on a 4 fold brochure mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
It’s a handy file for marketing teams and agencies. A small tip: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.
Print jobs are expensive to redo, so a realistic preview before the order goes out is cheap insurance.

What you can edit in this 4 Fold Brochure Mockup
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
How to use the 4 Fold Brochure Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: keep text at least a few millimetres from the edge. The mockup shows the trim, and cramped margins read as a mistake.

- Share a product catalogue on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Zippypixels. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Will my artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
