This hand holding business card mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a QR code card or a minimal logo card convincingly.
Freelance designers and small businesses tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: standard cards are small; keep body text at 7–8 pt or larger so it stays readable in the preview.
Clients sign off faster when they can picture the finished piece, and a flat PDF rarely does that as well as a photo of the business card.

What’s inside the Hand Holding Business Card Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Paper or background colour
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
Editing the Hand Holding Business Card Mockup, step by step
- Set up the design flat at the real print size and keep text inside a safe margin.
- 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.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: keep text at least a few millimetres from the edge. The mockup shows the trim, and cramped margins read as a mistake.
Ways to use this Hand Holding Business Card Mockup
- Present a minimal logo card in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Make two or three colour versions of a front and back card design and let the client pick.
- Show a QR code card to a client before it goes to print or production.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this business card 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.
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.
What size card is this made for?
Most business card mockups use the common 85 × 55 mm or 3.5 × 2 in size. Check the smart object's canvas to be sure before you design.
