Apron Mockup
What's inside

A staff name looks better on an apron mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Good pick for bakeries, cafés or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: light prints on light fabric vanish; try the garment colour layer first before you change your artwork.
Selling merch online without photos of every colour is hard; a good apparel mockup fills that gap until the samples arrive.
Works well for
- A staff name
- A restaurant brand mark
- A café logo

What’s inside the Apron Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Shadows and highlights
- Folds and wrinkles that wrap your print
- Background colour
How to edit this Apron Mockup in Photoshop
- Decide where the design sits on the item and size your art for that spot.
- 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.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: place the design as a flat PNG with a transparent background, then let the fabric displacement do the folds.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to a designer on Behance. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the apron?
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.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so a designer on Behance gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
