This corporate branding identity mockup is a quick way to show a full brand identity without a photo shoot.
Good pick for branding studios, design students or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: use the same margins on every item in the set; it’s the detail that makes an identity look designed rather than assembled.
Seeing a layout on a real stationery set is also the easiest way to catch problems early. A phone number that looked fine on screen can turn out too small once it sits on paper.
GraphicsFuel created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What’s inside the Corporate Branding Identity Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Paper or background colour
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
How to edit this Corporate Branding Identity Mockup in Photoshop
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: dark designs often look flat on paper mockups. Turning the highlight layer up slightly brings back the sheen.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
GraphicsFuel sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
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.
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.
