Branding Identity Mockup
What's inside
- Applications Photoshop

Show letterhead, card and envelope the way it will actually look: on a branding identity mockup.
Freelance designers and branding studios tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: use the same margins on every item in the set; it’s the detail that makes an identity look designed rather than assembled.
It also makes a good cover image for a Behance or Dribbble post, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks. For a complete brand board, show it next to a business card and a notebook.
Works well for
- Letterhead, card and envelope
- A brand guideline cover
- A full brand identity

Editable options in the Branding Identity Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper or background colour
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
How to edit this Branding Identity Mockup in Photoshop
- Set up the design flat at the real print size and keep text inside a safe margin.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Tweak the shadow and highlight layers to suit your colours.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: export your artwork at the size the smart object asks for; scaling a small file up is the usual reason print mockups look soft.

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 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.
Will my artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so GraphicBurger gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
