Need to show a bar logo to a client? This coaster mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Cafés and breweries tend to get the most out of files like this. Tip: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.
Clients sign off faster when they can picture the finished piece, and a flat PDF rarely does that as well as a photo of the coaster.
Use it for
- A bar logo
- A beer brand print
- A pattern

What’s inside the Coaster Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Paper or background colour
Add your design to the Coaster Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 3 mm of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- 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.
- Tweak the shadow and highlight layers to suit your colours.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Keep text at least a few millimetres from the edge. The mockup shows the trim, and cramped margins read as a mistake.
Best uses for this Coaster Mockup

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Free PSD Templates. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the coaster?
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.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
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 Free PSD Templates gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
