A duct tape mockup, made for presenting a washi tape pattern. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Stationery designers and e-commerce brands tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: use a PNG with transparency for logos so the material around them keeps its texture.
Merch and gift ideas are much easier to approve when people can see them on the real object.
