Notebook Mockup Templates
Hardcover, spiral-bound, and softcover journal mockups with editable covers, interior page spreads, and multiple material textures.
57 mockup templates available
Notebooks occupy a permanent spot on every stationery designer's mockup shelf. Between custom journal brands on Etsy, corporate branded notebooks for trade shows, and illustrated cover designs for independent publishers, the demand for realistic notebook presentations never really slows down.
Browse through hardcover notebooks, softcover journals, spiral-bound wirebound notebooks, stitched composition books, leather-wrapped planners, and kraft field notebooks. Sizes range from pocket A6 to desk-size A4, with standard B5 and A5 well-represented. You'll find closed cover views, open spread views showing interior pages, angled perspective shots, and lifestyle scenes on desks with pens, coffee, and other stationery items.
Cover design editing works through smart objects - paste your artwork into the designated layer and it conforms to the book's surface. Hardcover mockups show realistic spine curvature, board stiffness, and edge depth. Softcover templates show the natural flex and slight curl that paperback covers have. The distinction matters because the same cover design reads differently on a rigid hardcover versus a flexible softcover.
Interior page mockups are equally important. Open-spread views let you show page layouts, ruling patterns, illustrations, and typography as they would appear inside the notebook. Smart objects for left and right pages are separate, so you can display different content on each. Some templates include a page flip effect with a partially turned page showing the sheet's thickness and the printed content underneath.
Material textures available across the collection:
- Smooth laminated cover - glossy or matte finish
- Linen cloth cover - visible weave texture
- Leather or faux-leather - with debossed logo capability
- Kraft paper cover - recycled, eco-friendly aesthetic
- Canvas wrap - textured, durable-looking surface
Interior text legibility matters for notebook mockups - ruling patterns, page numbering, and decorative elements need to be readable at the mockup's native resolution, so clients can proof the interior design as confidently as the cover.
Whether you're presenting a custom journal brand, a corporate giveaway notebook, or an illustrated cover series, these templates let you show cover and interior together in a single realistic scene - the fastest way to get design approval without a printed sample.
