Show a product label the way it will actually look: on a floating tag mockup.
Good pick for packaging designers, fashion brands or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.
It also makes a good cover image for a Behance or Dribbble post, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks. For a complete brand board, show it next to a business card and a notebook.

Floating Tag Mockup: editable parts
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper or background colour
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
Add your design to the Floating Tag Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: dark designs often look flat on paper mockups. Turning the highlight layer up slightly brings back the sheen.
Ways to use this Floating Tag Mockup
- Use it as the cover image for a product label in your portfolio.
- Make two or three colour versions of a clothing label and let the client pick.
- Present a price tag in a client proposal or brand guide.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I put my artwork on the label or tag?
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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Anthony Boyd Graphics gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
