Presenting a candle jar label? Put it on this cosmetic jar mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.

Good pick for food producers, Etsy makers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: 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.

Dribbble Graphics created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.

What you can edit in this Realistic Cosmetic Jar Mockup

Main things you can change in Photoshop:

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

Editing the Realistic Cosmetic Jar Mockup, step by step

  1. Export the label at the size of the smart object.
  2. Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
  3. Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
  4. Change the container colour.
  5. Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.

One more thing: 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.

Will the label bend with the shape?

Good curved-product mockups use a warp so the label wraps around. The preview shows it: if the edges of the label curve away, it does.
