Need to show a brand mark reveal to a client? This paper logo mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Branding studios and freelancers on Behance tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: use a vector or high-resolution PNG version of the logo; this is the one mockup where every edge is looked at closely.
It helps you test the mark at small sizes and in one colour, which is where weak logos fall apart. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
GraphicBurger created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Paper Logo Mockup: editable parts
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Paper or background colour
Add your design to the Paper Logo Mockup
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 3 mm of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Turn the texture layer up or down to match the paper you’ll print on.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to GraphicBurger. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
Does the effect work with any logo?
Effects like foil, emboss or 3D are applied through layer styles, so any logo placed in the smart object gets them. Thin lines and tiny text may lose detail, so test a simplified version too.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so GraphicBurger gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
