If you’re presenting a coffee cup logo, this paper cup mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced. The paper finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.
It’s a handy file for cafés and coffee brands. A small 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.
The file is made by Photoshopsupply. The download button takes you to their page, where you get the original file and the licence details.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this cup mockup for client work?
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.
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 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.
