This spot uv logo mockup is a quick way to show a signage concept without a photo shoot.
Branding studios and freelancers on Behance tend to get the most out of files like this. Tip: dark designs often look flat on paper mockups. Turning the highlight layer up slightly brings back the sheen.
It helps you test the mark at small sizes and in one colour, which is where weak logos fall apart. For a complete brand board, show it next to a business card and a notebook.
GraphicBurger created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Editable options in the Spot UV Logo Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper or background colour
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
Add your design to the Spot UV Logo Mockup
- Set up the design flat at the real print size and keep text inside a safe margin.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- 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.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: single-colour versions of a logo usually look better in embossed or foil effects than full-colour ones.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this logo mockup for client work?
GraphicBurger 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 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.
