If you’re presenting a candle jar label, this candle box mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Good pick for Etsy sellers, candle makers or anyone putting together a portfolio. Metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.
Labels behave differently once they wrap around a shape, and this is where you find out if yours still reads. Pair it with a box or bag mockup to show the full product range.
This is a free file from Mockup Nest. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.

Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Container colour
- Highlights and reflections
- Shadows
How to use the Candle Box Mockup
- Design the label flat and keep the logo in the middle third, where the curve bends it least.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Turn the highlight layer down if it cuts across the logo.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: transparent or glass items show the background through. Test your label on the actual background colour you’ll use.
Where the Candle Box Mockup works best

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this candle mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockup Nest. 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.
Will the label bend with the shape?
Good curved-product mockups use a warp so the label wraps around. The preview shows it: if the edges of the label curve away, it does.
