This modern business card mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a QR code card or a front and back card design convincingly.
Small businesses and branding studios tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: standard cards are small; keep body text at 7–8 pt or larger so it stays readable in the preview.
It also makes a good cover image for a Behance or Dribbble post, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
Good for
- A QR code card
- A front and back card design
- A minimal logo card

What you can edit in this Modern Business Card Mockup
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 Modern Business Card Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- 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.
Use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.
Ways to use this Modern Business Card Mockup

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Anthony Boyd Graphics. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
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 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.
