Label Mockup Templates

Labels do the heavy lifting in product branding. The shape of a bottle or jar might be standard, but the label is what separates a premium skincare line from a generic drugstore product. Mockups let you test that perception before committing to a print run.

Formats available include label mockups for bottles (wine, beer, spirits, cosmetics, supplements), jars (candles, food, skincare), boxes and packaging (tea, coffee, cereal), and standalone label presentations (peeled corner, rolled, flat sheets). The variety matters because label design behaves differently on a curved bottle surface versus a flat box panel - and your client needs to see both.

Every template uses Photoshop and Photopea smart objects for design placement. The label wraps realistically around the product surface, picking up reflections, shadow gradients, and edge distortion that you'd see on an actual printed label. Curved surfaces like wine bottles and cosmetic jars show proper perspective warping - the text follows the curvature, and the edges taper naturally.

Layer structure goes deeper than just the label itself. Typically you'll get independent control over:

• Label artwork (front, back, and sometimes neck label)
• Product surface color and material (glass, plastic, metal, cardboard)
• Cap or lid color and finish
• Background color or scene elements
• Liquid fill color (for transparent bottles)

The liquid fill layer is an underrated detail. Being able to show amber honey, green juice, or clear water inside a glass bottle - with the label visible through partial transparency - adds a level of realism that impresses clients and sells products.

Close-up shots of label details (barcode area, ingredient text, embossed logos) are rendered at sufficient resolution for print-ready proofing.

Designers in the food and beverage space use these heavily for packaging concepts. Cosmetic and skincare brands rely on label mockups for product line extensions - show a new scent or formulation with just a label swap instead of a full photo shoot. Craft beverage producers (beer, kombucha, hot sauce) use them for label design approval with brewery partners.

For freelancers building a packaging design portfolio, label mockups on creatsy.com are a fast way to create case study visuals. Drop your label design into a premium bottle mockup, composite a few views, and you have portfolio-ready work without needing to source physical products.

What types of products do the label mockups cover?

The collection includes labels for bottles (wine, beer, cosmetics, supplements), jars (candles, food, skincare), boxes and cartons, and standalone label presentations like peeled-corner and flat sheet views. Both curved and flat surface applications are represented.

Does the label wrap realistically around curved surfaces?

The smart object layer applies perspective warping, so labels follow the curvature of bottles and jars accurately. Text, logos, and graphics show proper distortion along the edges, matching how a printed label would actually appear on the product.

Can I change the product color and liquid fill?

Most mockups include separate layers for the product surface color, cap or lid, and liquid fill (on transparent containers). You can show different colored liquids inside bottles, change container materials, and adjust the background independently.

What's the resolution of label mockup files?

PSD files are typically 5000-6000px on the long edge, high enough for detailed close-ups of barcode areas, fine print, and embossed textures. Works well for both screen presentations and print proofing.

Can I use these for food and beverage packaging design?

Wine labels, craft beer labels, hot sauce bottles, honey jars, and coffee packaging mockups are all well represented. The commercial license covers standard client work and product listing images.
