This plastic ID holder mockup is a quick way to show a membership card without a photo shoot. The plastic finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.

Useful for fintech brands as much as for corporate designers. Dark designs often look flat on paper mockups. Turning the highlight layer up slightly brings back the sheen.

Clients sign off faster when they can picture the finished piece, and a flat PDF rarely does that as well as a photo of the card. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.

Good for

  • A membership card
  • An ID badge
  • A bank or gift card

Plastic ID Holder Mockup: editable parts

The PSD is layered, so you can change:

  • Your design, placed through the smart object
  • Paper or background colour
  • Shadows and highlights on their own layers

How to edit this Plastic ID Holder Mockup in Photoshop

  1. Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
  2. Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
  3. Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
  4. Change the background or paper colour with the colour layer.
  5. Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.

Worth remembering: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.

Questions about this mockup

Is it free for commercial use?

Mockups Design sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.

How do I put my artwork on the card?

Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.

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.

Can I show both sides?

It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
