A sardine fish can mockup, made for presenting a soda design. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Good pick for breweries, packaging designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. Metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.
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.
Good for
- A soda design
- An energy drink wrap
- A craft beer label

What you can edit in this Sardine Fish Can Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Container colour
How to use the Sardine Fish Can Mockup
- Export the label at the size of the smart object.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
Pixpine sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
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.
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.
