Need to show a gift candle box to a client? This isolated candle mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Good pick for home fragrance brands, Etsy sellers or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: labels on curved surfaces compress at the sides, so keep key text in the middle third.
Labels behave differently once they wrap around a shape, and this is where you find out if yours still reads. Pair it with a box or bag mockup to show the full product range.

Isolated Candle Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:

- Export the label at the size of the smart object.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Turn the highlight layer down if it cuts across the logo.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I put my artwork on the candle?
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 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.
