BUT. You can use it for your promotions. Every. Day. 0 calories.

Out of all the mockups from this list, this is another one of my favorites. But that’s probably because I enjoy woodwork, too!

The core focus is on the (Starbucks cup?) mockup since you cannot change and configure anything else.

The lid is also black by default, and there’s no option to change the color.

But you can modify the color of the paper cup, import an image, add a logo and even text.

It can work GREAT for social media marketing campaigns or as a random post.

No one wants to burn their hands when grabbing a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

A sleeve is necessary, and that’s what you can showcase with this particular template.

The cup sleeve mockup EMPHASIZES the sleeve exclusively. In other words, you cannot change the paper cup or the lid.

This is something that may limit the user, but if your cups are of the same style, you’re in luck.

How To Make A Coffee Cup Mockup?

Do you have your custom coffee cup design ready and want to test it out to see its realistic version? Yes, without actually printing it.

No biggie!

This is the easiest guide you need to follow to create a mockup for your project.

We’ll activate an online mockup generator platform, Placeit, which makes the creator’s life SO much easier.

Design A Coffee Cup Mockup In 4 Steps:

  • Step 1: You can follow this link to see all of Placeit’s 150+ coffee cup templates. You can sort the list by newest, best-sellers, type, and more. Also, the tags on the left side are very handy!
  • Step 2: Click and open the temple you like and then hit the “insert image” button. This allows you to import any design you want. Plus, you can change its position and size while viewing your edits via the live preview window in the bottom left corner. Practical. You’re then only a “crop” away from attaching your design to the coffee cup.
  • Step 3: Lastly, unlock your creativity and start configuring other settings to create the outcome that follows your project’s needs. This could be changing the cup’s color, adjusting the background, adding graphics, etc. It’s playtime!
  • Step 4: Then download the mockup when done and start using it anywhere you want.

Okay, we also listed a few PSD mockups – what to do with those?

Open Photoshop and import them. Then search for the smart object layer, which allows you to slide in your design. As simple as that – drag and drop!

Finally, you can completely modify the template by navigating other layers. We made sure to include only highly organized PSDs to make it a little breeze for every user.

Changing colors, adding a different background, altering shadows – well, you can do it all and then some.
