There’s this local fast food restaurant that recently opened. If you’d only see their branding identity.
Pardon my french, BUT it sucked!
We decided to do the following.
Go home. Build a new branding identity for him. Use mockups. Create realistic presentations. And send it all to the owner.
FOR FREE. (Yes, we still do that.)
It worked.
He hired us, and the rest was history.
Since we were left with all these mockups, we decided to help you save time and energy when going the extra mile with YOUR packaging presentation.

You do all the work online, and you can even use your mobile device (!).
Here’s how it goes.
5 Steps To Make A Fast Food Packaging Mockup:
- Step 1: Click on this link and it’ll redirect you to my favorite platform, Placeit. Their super handy search bar (with live results) is very convenient, even (especially!) if you want to find something more specific.
- Step 2: Pick any template from the massive collection of results to start working on your mockup.
- Step 3: When on the template page, I first upload my design via the “insert image” button. This feature allows you to resize and reposition your upload for the perfect fit. All you need to do next is click “crop,” and your design will appear on the mockup. Simple.
- Step 4: Next comes the fun part – customizing the default settings further until you’re 100% satisfied with your creation.
- Step 5: And then click “download,” and you’re done.
It can’t get any EASIER.
But even if you decide to use a PSD template, the process is effortless.
However, you need Photoshop. (Well, DUH!)
Import any mockup from the list above into PS and then drag and drop your design via the smart object layer.
Each template I added has an organized structure, so even when you decide to modify it further, it so easy to do.
This could mean changing the background, the colors, altering shadows, lighting, etc.
Save and download, and that’s IT.
