A soap box mockup, made for presenting a dropper bottle label. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for cosmetic startups and packaging designers. Quick tip: 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.
Works well for
- A dropper bottle label
- A skincare label
- A tube design

What you can edit in this Soap Box Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Shadows
- Highlights and reflections
Editing the Soap Box Mockup, step by step
- Design the label flat and keep the logo in the middle third, where the curve bends it least.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Change the background to your brand colour.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Labels on curved surfaces compress at the sides, so keep key text in the middle third.
Best uses for this Soap Box Mockup
- Present a tube design in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Make two or three colour versions of a dropper bottle label and let the client pick.

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 Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
