Show an energy drink wrap the way it will actually look: on a food tin can mockup. The tin finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.
Useful for packaging designers as much as for breweries. A small tip: leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.
Labels behave differently once they wrap around a shape, and this is where you find out if yours still reads.
Good for
- An energy drink wrap
- A craft beer label

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this can mockup for client work?
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 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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so MockupFree gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
