Show a product catalogue the way it will actually look: on a tri fold brochure mockup.
Print designers and agencies tend to get the most out of files like this. A small tip: match your panel widths to the fold lines in the smart object; tri-folds have one slightly narrower panel.
Print jobs are expensive to redo, so a realistic preview before the order goes out is cheap insurance. For a complete brand board, show it next to a business card and a notebook.
Graphberry created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Realistic Tri Fold Brochure Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Paper or background colour
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
Editing the Realistic Tri Fold Brochure Mockup, step by step
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- 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: 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
Can I use this brochure mockup for client work?
Graphberry 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 brochure?
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.
