Need to show a point-of-sale display to a client? This customizable a-stand mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Good pick for retail marketers, packaging designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live. Combine it with a poster or bus stop ad to show the campaign across several placements.

Editable options in the Customizable A-Stand Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
How to use the Customizable A-Stand Mockup
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- 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 a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
Where the Customizable A-Stand Mockup works best
- Show a point-of-sale display to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Share a trade show booth on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.
- Make two or three colour versions of a counter design and let the client pick.

Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
