A back print looks better on a front back t-shirt mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Clothing brands and print-on-demand shops tend to get the most out of files like this. Place the design as a flat PNG with a transparent background, then let the fabric displacement do the folds.
Selling merch online without photos of every colour is hard; a good apparel mockup fills that gap until the samples arrive. Shops often pair it with a cap or tote bag mockup to show a small merch collection.
Good for
- A back print

Main things you can change in Photoshop:

- Shadows and highlights
- Fabric colour
- Background colour
Editing the Front & Back T-Shirt Mockup, step by step
- Save your print as a PNG with a transparent background.
- 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.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: keep chest prints around a third of the shirt width. Oversized art looks unrealistic on a folded or worn garment.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
GraphicBurger 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 T-shirt?
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.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so GraphicBurger gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
