Show a QR code card the way it will actually look: on a metallic foil business card mockup. The metallic finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.
Small businesses and branding studios tend to get the most out of files like this. Show the back of the card with just the logo; it makes the front look calmer.
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.
Mockups Design created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What you can edit in this Metallic Foil Business Card Mockup
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
How to use the Metallic Foil Business Card Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- 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.
- Change the background or paper colour with the colour layer.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: keep text at least a few millimetres from the edge. The mockup shows the trim, and cramped margins read as a mistake.
Where the Metallic Foil Business Card Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of a minimal logo card and let the client pick.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
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 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.
