Presenting a die-cut logo? Put it on this wall decal sticker mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Good pick for brands doing merch, illustrators or anyone putting together a portfolio. Quick tip: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.
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 sticker. For a complete brand board, show it next to a business card and a notebook.

Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper or background colour
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
How to use the Wall Decal Sticker Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Designbolts 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 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.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
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.
