If you’re presenting a soda design, this preserve can mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.

Good pick for packaging designers, beverage startups or anyone putting together a portfolio. Quick tip: leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.

It’s also a good way to compare a few label directions side by side without printing anything. Pair it with a box or bag mockup to show the full product range.

Use it for

  • A soda design
  • An energy drink wrap
  • A craft beer label

This is a free file from Free PSD Templates. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.

Preserve Can Mockup: editable parts

Open it in Photoshop and you can change:

  • Label artwork, placed through the smart object
  • Background colour
  • Container colour

Add your design to the Preserve Can Mockup

  1. Prepare the label with a little space around the edges for the highlights.
  2. Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
  3. Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
  4. Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.

Transparent or glass items show the background through. Test your label on the actual background colour you’ll use.

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.

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 Free PSD Templates gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
