A front and back card design looks better on a colorful stack business card mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
It’s a handy file for branding studios and small businesses. Keep text at least a few millimetres from the edge. The mockup shows the trim, and cramped margins read as a mistake.
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 business card.
GraphicBurger created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What you can edit in this Colorful Stack Business Card Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Paper or background colour
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
Editing the Colorful Stack Business Card Mockup, step by step
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch 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.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Turn the texture layer up or down to match the paper you’ll print on.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: show the back of the card with just the logo; it makes the front look calmer.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this business card mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to GraphicBurger. 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.
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.
Can I show both sides?
It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
