Need to show a soda design to a client? This floating soda tin can mockup does the job in a few minutes.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and breweries. Metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.
Beverage and beauty brands use renders like this on their shop pages long before the first production batch.
Good for
- A soda design
- A craft beer label
- An energy drink wrap
Pixpine created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Floating Soda Tin Can Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Container colour
- Highlights and reflections
Editing the Floating Soda Tin Can Mockup, step by step
- Prepare the label with a little space around the edges for the highlights.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Turn the highlight layer down if it cuts across the logo.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.
Ways to use this Floating Soda Tin Can Mockup
- Use it as the cover image for an energy drink wrap in your portfolio.

Good to know

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixpine. 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.
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 change the liquid or container colour?
Most bottle, can and cup mockups keep the container colour on its own layer. Liquid colour, where visible, is usually adjustable too.
