An adhesive duct tape mockup, made for presenting branded packing tape. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for e-commerce brands and stationery designers. Quick tip: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
Merch and gift ideas are much easier to approve when people can see them on the real object.

How to edit this Adhesive Duct Tape Mockup in Photoshop
- Prepare the artwork in your brand colours.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Adjust the shadow so the object sits on the surface.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: change the background colour to your brand palette; it does more for the final image than people expect.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
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 tape?
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.
Can I change the background?
Most object mockups have a background colour or image layer at the bottom of the stack that you can swap.
