Pack Beer Mockup
What's inside
- Applications Photoshop
- File Types PSD
- License Free (see author's terms)
- Author Gumroad
Show a craft beer can the way it will actually look: on a beer mockup. The multiple views are handy when you need a hero image and a detail shot from the same set.
It’s a handy file for bars and label designers. Labels on curved surfaces compress at the sides, so keep key text in the middle third.
Beverage and beauty brands use renders like this on their shop pages long before the first production batch.
Works well for
- A craft beer can
- A beer label
- A six-pack carrier

What’s inside the Pack Beer Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Container colour
- Highlights and reflections
Editing the Pack Beer Mockup, step by step
- Design the label flat and keep the logo in the middle third, where the curve bends it least.
- 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.
- Turn the highlight layer down if it cuts across the logo.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.
Ways to use this Pack Beer Mockup
- Share a six-pack carrier on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this beer packaging mockup for client work?
A designer on Gumroad 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.
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.
Will the label bend with the shape?
Good curved-product mockups use a warp so the label wraps around. The preview shows it: if the edges of the label curve away, it does.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so a designer on Gumroad gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
