A counter design looks better on a straight popup stand mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Packaging designers and exhibitors tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live. Combine it with a poster or bus stop ad to show the campaign across several placements.
Use it for
- A counter design
- A trade show booth
- A point-of-sale display

What you can edit in this Straight Popup Stand Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
Add your design to the Straight Popup Stand Mockup
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Use the glow layer for night or backlit scenes.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
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.
What ratio should my artwork be?
Open the smart object and check its canvas; design to that ratio. Most outdoor mockups use common print ratios, but it varies from file to file.
