A kraft paper logo mockup, made for presenting a brand mark reveal. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are. The kraft paper finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.
Good pick for branding studios, logo designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: use a vector or high-resolution PNG version of the logo; this is the one mockup where every edge is looked at closely.
It helps you test the mark at small sizes and in one colour, which is where weak logos fall apart. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.

What’s inside the Kraft Paper Logo Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Paper or background colour
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
How to use the Kraft Paper Logo 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.
- Turn the texture layer up or down to match the paper you’ll print on.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this logo mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Designbolts. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
Can I show both sides?
It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
