A box with mug mockup, made for presenting an illustration. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for corporate merch teams and gift shops. Quick tip: mug prints wrap around; if the preview shows one side, keep the design centred on that side.
Cafés and coffee brands use renders like this for menus, social posts and supplier pitches.

- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Swap the background colour.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
A logo that works on a business card usually works on a cup. Long slogans rarely do.
