This holding business card mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a QR code card or a front and back card design convincingly.
Branding studios and freelance designers tend to get the most out of files like this. A small tip: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.
Seeing a layout on a real business card is also the easiest way to catch problems early. A phone number that looked fine on screen can turn out too small once it sits on paper.
Good for
- A QR code card
- A front and back card design
- A minimal logo card
Mockupful created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Holding Business Card Mockup: editable parts
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Paper or background colour
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
How to use the Holding Business Card Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 3 mm of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- 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.
One more thing: show the back of the card with just the logo; it makes the front look calmer.

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 business card?
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 artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
