Need to show a cosmetic jar lid to a client? This glossy plastic jar mockup does the job in a few minutes. The plastic finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.

Useful for Etsy makers as much as for cosmetic brands. A small tip: leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.

Beverage and beauty brands use renders like this on their shop pages long before the first production batch. Pair it with a box or bag mockup to show the full product range.

Good for

  • A cosmetic jar lid
  • A candle jar label
  • A honey or jam label

The file is made by Mockups Design. The download button takes you to their page, where you get the original file and the licence details.

What you can edit in this Glossy Plastic Jar Mockup

The PSD is layered, so you can change:

  • Label artwork, placed through the smart object
  • Highlights and reflections
  • Container colour
  • Shadows

Add your design to the Glossy Plastic Jar Mockup

  1. Export the label at the size of the smart object.
  2. Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
  3. Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
  4. Change the container colour.
  5. Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.

Another tip: metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.

Ways to use this Glossy Plastic Jar Mockup

  • Make two or three colour versions of a honey or jam label and let the client pick.
  • Present a cosmetic jar lid in a client proposal or brand guide.
  • Share a candle jar label on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Good to know

  • Made by Mockups Design. The download size and format are listed on their page.

  • Built for Adobe Photoshop. A recent CC version handles the smart objects best.

Questions about this mockup

Can I use this jar 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 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?

A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.

Will the label bend with the shape?

Good curved-product mockups use a warp so the label wraps around. The preview shows it: if the edges of the label curve away, it does.
