Need to show a front and back card design to a client? This brands business card mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Useful for small businesses as much as for freelance designers. A small tip: standard cards are small; keep body text at 7–8 pt or larger so it stays readable in the preview.
Clients sign off faster when they can picture the finished piece, and a flat PDF rarely does that as well as a photo of the business card. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
Works well for
- A front and back card design
- A QR code card
- A minimal logo card

How to edit this Brands Business Card Mockup in Photoshop
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- 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.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: dark designs often look flat on paper mockups. Turning the highlight layer up slightly brings back the sheen.
