Best Candle PSD Mockups
1. Candle & gift box mockup
If you’re looking to present a full-blown candle branding, this template is an excellent solution to make it happen.
REALLY. FAST.
I used all three mockups, activated Photoshop’s smart objects and improved the default setting accordingly. It’s really quick, that’s my guarantee.
BUT. If you’re new, the available PDF help file will be of great support. (Although you’ll just skim through it because it’s too easy.)
Hint: Check out our best gift box mockups collection.

But this is probably my FAV from the entire collection of the best candle mockups. Why? It just makes everything looks so good.
Whether I used a simple logo or a detailed design, the outcome was always top-class.
Six layered PSD templates (4000 x 2670px) are at your disposal, with four filters, automatic background perspective, and more.
Plus, the photorealistic effect is BOMB.

Create a candle and a packaging design mockup demonstration unlike any out there with the help of this mockup. The 7700 x 5000px dimension is INSANE!
What’s cool is the lit candle, adding a more life-like touch to it. Moreover, every element is on an individual layer, so customization is a little breeze.
I highly recommend this or any other template to use before printing/production. Safety first.

I was recently searching for a pillar candle with a label without additional packaging or container and found this one that worked so well.
It contains four PSD files and three label textures with changeable everything.
The amazing resolution also ensures a PRO-LEVEL final product, that appears extremely photorealistic.
I showed it to my friend Amy who is not into web design and had no idea I used a mockup. Yup, good stuff!

I created multiple new projects with a set of eight candle mockups that this batch includes. And YOU CAN, too!
Glass candles, wooden tops and boxes, everything is at your fingertips, waiting for your designs and logos.

Quick work for a realistic showcase!

A client was once preparing a matchable candle and perfume (I also have a full set of the best perfume bottle mockups) scent and needed custom packaging. I delivered the ultimate outcome (with custom bags!) using these nine mockups.
The smart object layer makes the workflow QUICK and FAST. I took advantage of that and created four variations, so it was a lot easier for us to pick the winner.
Enjoy.
Note: I also had a question for the author and they were super friendly to help me out.

This candle mockup is absolutely beautiful. I don’t really have anything else to say.
But who am I kidding, of course, I have! All the five modern templates work great with minimalist branding.

HEY, I’m just sharing what worked best for me.

I wasn’t able to find as photorealistic batch of mockups as this one is anywhere on the web, even though going through 50+ mockups.
This one is something else!
And that’s why you deserve it.
The shadows, the sunlight reflection, the flame and smoke effects, changeable glass, I mean, WOW!
On top of that, you get three label shapes, but you can also insert your custom version. Just go for it.

Here’s a catch; this mockup can rock any candle color, white, red, green, you name it! No white-specific, just so you know.

And you add your design via the simple process of dragging and dropping, thanks to smart object layer.

Due to the extreme popularity of glass jar candles, I’m adding one more mockup for your convenience.
I’d be really stoked if there were more views/angles, but the one that you get creates a nice attention-grabbing effect.
Moreover, the 5252 x 3939px dimension ensures excellent quality for a fantastic presentation of any design and logo style.
(I used a very detailed logo, zoomed it in and it appeared crystal clear.)
