An energy drink wrap looks better on an olive oil tin can mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that. Because it’s tin, the material shows through a little, which keeps the result believable.
Good pick for packaging designers, beverage startups or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: transparent or glass items show the background through. Test your label on the actual background colour you’ll use.
Labels behave differently once they wrap around a shape, and this is where you find out if yours still reads.

Olive Oil Tin Can Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Container colour
- Shadows
- Highlights and reflections
Editing the Olive Oil Tin Can Mockup, step by step
- Design the label flat and keep the logo in the middle third, where the curve bends it least.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- 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.
One more thing: metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Graphic Google. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the can?
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.
Can I change the liquid or container colour?
Most bottle, can and cup mockups keep the container colour on its own layer. Liquid colour, where visible, is usually adjustable too.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Graphic Google gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
