This food can mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a soda design or an energy drink wrap convincingly.
Beverage startups and breweries tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.
It’s also a good way to compare a few label directions side by side without printing anything.

What’s inside the Food Can Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Container colour
- Shadows
Editing the Food Can Mockup, step by step
- Prepare the label with a little space around the edges for the highlights.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- 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.
Labels on curved surfaces compress at the sides, so keep key text in the middle third.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Pixpine 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 put my artwork on the can?
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.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Pixpine gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
