Here’s a packaging tape mockup that works well for branded packing tape, a washi tape pattern and similar projects.
It’s a handy file for e-commerce brands and stationery designers. Quick tip: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
Small branded items are often the part of an identity that clients remember, so it’s worth showing them properly.

- Adjust the shadow so the object sits on the surface.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
