This cream jar mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a cosmetic jar lid or a honey or jam label convincingly.
Good pick for cosmetic brands, Etsy makers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: 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. A shelf of two or three variants in different colours makes a strong hero image.
Works well for
- A cosmetic jar lid
- A honey or jam label
- A candle jar label

Cream Jar Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Container colour
- Background colour
Add your design to the Cream Jar Mockup
- Export the label at the size of the smart object.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Change the background to your brand colour.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: labels on curved surfaces compress at the sides, so keep key text in the middle third.
Where the Cream Jar Mockup works best
- Share a candle jar label on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to GraphicPear. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the jar?
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.
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.
