I decided to share my best eco cup mockups with you after getting a lot of positive feedback from clients using them to impress their audiences.
These are my ULTIMATE 15 collected based on real people’s reactions.
Since I like simplicity and fast work, I always start with a mockup generator. (Extremely beginner-friendly.)
But I also added a few flexible PSD templates if you like even more freedom.
This post covers:
- Best eco cup mockup generators
- Best eco cup PSD mockups

You’ll never look at other cup mockups the same after checking and using these.
BOOM!
Hint: Another way of going eco is with glass cup mockups.
Best Eco Cup Mockup Generators
These Placeit cup generators cost $7.95 a pop with an option to test them fully for FREE. (You read that right!)
But if you plan to work with more of their generators regularly, I highly suggest their monthly ($14.95/month) or yearly ($89.69/year) subscriptions to save money.
And yes, these allow you to make mockups without Photoshop.
1. Mockup of a woman holding a reusable cup
The fun of creating eco cup presentations with generators is REAL. And here is the first and my favorite template that I highly suggest you use.
It’s not just that I like it, but it also performs well on social media. (I haven’t tested it in newsletters, though.)
And what’s the best part? It requires just a few clicks to improve it. I changed the color, uploaded a design and even added a call-to-action text.
So. Fire.

Everything works, so your imagination can take things to the next level with something EPIC.

A special solution that I found the best for showing the eco cup design while at the same time adding a special message (to the left top quarter).
But you can use it without text, too! (I’m just sharing what worked best for me.)
Moreover, you can change the color of the cup and the lid separately, making the cup more dynamic, if you will. Insert the image and YOU’RE READY.

Minimal but not too minimal with a hand holding the cup lid that makes everything just SO MUCH better.
Even though a semi-render, no one will really tell once you include your design and change the color of the paper and the lid.
Unfortunately, the background isn’t editable, so not all cup colors may work, although that’s really a personal choice.
Don’t be afraid to go against the grain. I do it more often than not, and it works very often for me. Just do it.

Make An Eco Cup Mockup In 5 Steps:
- Step 1: Visit Placeit where you can find 100s of appropriate templates to use for your project. But I recommend using the above ones because I thoroughly tested them, and they work wonders.
- Step 2: When you’re on the template page, click the “insert image” button to upload your design. This process helps you find the perfect mockup a lot faster. I usually go through five to ten templates to find the one that matches my design. (Remember, you can do the testing free of charge!)
- Step 3: After you upload your image, a popup will open that allows you to change its size and reposition it. (I really like the live preview function.) Then press “crop” to stick it to the eco cup.
- Step 4: At this step, you can enjoy using other functions to change the color and the background, add a text overlay or spice things up with a graphic.
- Step 5: Your work is done! Click “download” and enjoy your amazing creation.
But even if you pick a PSD version, the only difference is that you’ll need Photoshop. Yes, the process is still very beginner-friendly.
Plus, you can benefit from some more creative freedom to design an outcome that’s precise to your liking.
First, import the template you like into Photoshop and find the smart object layer. It’s really simple because of the great layered structure of all the PSD files I included in this collection.
Double-click the layer and slide in your design.
Once satisfied with your design positioning, you can enjoy customizing other layers, like changing the color and the background, adjusting shadows, and more.
It more or less requires only some clicking, and that’s it.
Enjoy.
