If you’re presenting a new logo, this gold foil printed paper logo mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
It’s a handy file for branding studios and logo designers. Tip: single-colour versions of a logo usually look better in embossed or foil effects than full-colour ones.
A logo on its own is hard to judge; seeing it pressed, printed or lit on a real surface tells the client far more. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
This is a free file from Designbolts. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
Editable options in the Gold Foil Printed Paper Logo Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
How to use the Gold Foil Printed Paper Logo Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: export your artwork at the size the smart object asks for; scaling a small file up is the usual reason print mockups look soft.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
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.
Does the effect work with any logo?
Effects like foil, emboss or 3D are applied through layer styles, so any logo placed in the smart object gets them. Thin lines and tiny text may lose detail, so test a simplified version too.
