Need to show a coffee cup logo to a client? This craft paper cup mockup does the job in a few minutes. Because it’s paper, the material shows through a little, which keeps the result believable.
Useful for cafés as much as for coffee brands. One thing worth knowing: a logo that works on a business card usually works on a cup. Long slogans rarely do.
Cafés and coffee brands use renders like this for menus, social posts and supplier pitches. Pair it with a coffee bag or menu mockup for a complete café presentation.
Use it for
- A coffee cup logo
- A yogurt or dessert cup label
- A takeaway cup print

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixelbuddha. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the cup?
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 change the cup colour?
Most cup and mug mockups keep the body colour on its own layer, so you can change it without touching your design.
