This grid business cards mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a front and back card design or a minimal logo card convincingly.
Good pick for branding studios, freelance designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. Keep text at least a few millimetres from the edge. The mockup shows the trim, and cramped margins read as a mistake.
It also makes a good cover image for a Behance or Dribbble post, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.

What you can edit in this Grid Business Cards Mockup
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper or background colour
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
How to edit this Grid Business Cards Mockup in Photoshop
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 3 mm of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: dark designs often look flat on paper mockups. Turning the highlight layer up slightly brings back the sheen.

- Use it as the cover image for a QR code card in your portfolio.
- Present a minimal logo card in a client proposal or brand guide.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockups Design. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
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.
Will my artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
