A takeaway cup print looks better on a three cup mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Useful for food packaging designers as much as for coffee brands. Quick tip: cups are curved, so keep the logo compact and centred on the visible side.
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.
Mr.Mockup created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Three Cup Mockups: editable parts
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Logo or pattern, placed through the smart object
- Cup, lid or sleeve colour
- Highlights on the curve
Add your design to the Three Cup Mockups
- Prepare the logo or pattern as a PNG with a transparent background.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: if the file lets you change the lid or sleeve colour, match it to your brand; it pulls the image together.
Where the Three Cup Mockups works best
- Present a takeaway cup print in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Show a yogurt or dessert cup label to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Make two or three colour versions of a coffee cup logo and let the client pick.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
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.
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 logo follow the curve?
Curved-surface mockups use a warp or displacement so the print bends with the cup. Keep key text in the middle, where the curve distorts it least.
