Need to show a bar menu to a client? This customizable menu mockup does the job in a few minutes.
It’s a handy file for hospitality designers and cafés. Quick 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. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.

What’s inside the Customizable Menu Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Paper or background colour
How to use the Customizable Menu Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 3 mm of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: menus are read up close, so check prices and dish names at 100% zoom in the final export.
Where the Customizable Menu Mockup works best
- Present a bar menu in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Use it as the cover image for a restaurant menu in your portfolio.
- Show a café drinks list to a client before it goes to print or production.

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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Zippypixels gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
