Mug Mock-up

Show a company logo the way it will actually look: on a mug mockup.

It’s a handy file for corporate merch teams and print-on-demand sellers. Quick tip: mug prints wrap around; if the preview shows one side, keep the design centred on that side.

It’s the quickest way to check whether a logo still works when it’s small and curved. Pair it with a coffee bag or menu mockup for a complete café presentation.

Editable options in the Mug Mock-up PSD

Everything below is on its own layer:

• Logo or pattern, placed through the smart object
• Background colour
• Cup, lid or sleeve colour
• Highlights on the curve

Add your design to the Mug Mock-up

1. Prepare the logo or pattern as a PNG with a transparent background.
2. In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
3. Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
4. Nudge the logo to the centre of the curve.
5. Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.

One more thing: if the file lets you change the lid or sleeve colour, match it to your brand; it pulls the image together.

Ways to use this Mug Mock-up
