Show a signage concept the way it will actually look: on an embossed paper logo mockup. The paper finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.
Logo designers and branding studios tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.
Logo reveals like this are usually the first image in a branding case study, so it’s worth getting the material right.

What you can edit in this Embossed Paper Logo 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 texture you can turn up or down
Add your design to the Embossed Paper Logo Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Worth remembering: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Mockupful 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.
Does the effect work with any logo?
Effects like foil, emboss or 3D are applied through layer styles, so any logo placed in the smart object gets them. Thin lines and tiny text may lose detail, so test a simplified version too.
