A hand holding business card mockup, made for presenting a front and back card design. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Good pick for small businesses, freelance designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: 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. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
Good for
- A front and back card design
- A minimal logo card
- A QR code card

What you can edit in this Hand Holding Business Card Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper or background colour
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
Add your design to the Hand Holding Business Card Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch 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”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Turn the texture layer up or down to match the paper you’ll print on.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.
Ways to use this Hand Holding Business Card Mockup
- Present a front and back card design in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Make two or three colour versions of a minimal logo card and let the client pick.
- Share a QR code card on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to GraphicsFuel. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the business card?
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.
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so GraphicsFuel gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
