Full Towel Mockup
What's inside
- Applications Photoshop

This full towel mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a hotel logo or a gym brand convincingly.
Hotels and gyms tend to get the most out of files like this. Tip: keep chest prints around a third of the shirt width. Oversized art looks unrealistic on a folded or worn garment.
Selling merch online without photos of every colour is hard; a good apparel mockup fills that gap until the samples arrive.
This is a free file from Zippypixels. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
Full Towel Mockup: editable parts
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Fabric colour
- Shadows and highlights
- Folds and wrinkles that wrap your print
Add your design to the Full Towel Mockup
- Decide where the design sits on the item and size your art for that spot.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Change the fabric colour with the colour fill layer.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Worth remembering: light prints on light fabric vanish; try the garment colour layer first before you change your artwork.
Where the Full Towel Mockup works best
- Show a gym brand to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Make two or three colour versions of a beach print and let the client pick.
- Use it as the cover image for a hotel logo in your portfolio.

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?
