Here’s a pencils mockup that works well for corporate merch branding, a hotel pen and similar projects.
Good pick for corporate merch teams, hotels or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: change the background colour to your brand palette; it does more for the final image than people expect.
Small branded items are often the part of an identity that clients remember, so it’s worth showing them properly.
Undesigns created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.

Open it in Photoshop and you can change:

How to use the Pencils Mockup
- Prepare the artwork in your brand colours.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Change the background colour at the bottom of the layer stack.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
