Mockup Studio (early access): your logo on real-looking products, in every color

Left column, step 1, Logo: drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG file on the box or press Choose file. A plain white background around the logo is cleared for you, and the list under the box shows each logo with its number of colors. Use a Logo Kit logo opens your finished Logo Kit logos with each of their versions; press one to add it. Start with a sample logo adds an invented coffee shop logo so you can see how it works. AI, EPS, and PDF logos go through Logo Kit first.

Left column, step 2, Product: press any product to put the logo on it. The pictures in the list already show your logo. Search and the type buttons (Apparel, Drinkware, Bags, Pens, Office, Signs, Cards & stationery, Packaging, Screens, Your products) narrow the list. Select several turns on checkboxes; Add to the set then makes a mockup of every product you picked at once.

Middle: the mockup. Drag the design to move it, or click the picture and use the arrow keys (0.1 in a press, 0.5 in with Shift). The dashed outline is the item's imprint area; Show imprint area hides it. Buttons above the picture switch sides (Front and Back on the T-shirt) and imprint locations (for example Full front, Left chest, Sleeve). A green dot means that location is decorated.

Right: three tabs (Design, Product, Checks & spec) and the buttons for this mockup.

Use your own product photo (the blue button at the top of step 2) takes a photo you drop or choose, or a supplier image link you paste (Get photo). Use pictures you have the right to use. The photo opens with Set up the photo: drag the 4 blue corners to where the design goes; the grid shows how the design will bend. For round items such as cups and bottles, raise Curve until the grid follows the surface, and use Middle sits lower when the middle of a label sits lower than its edges. Outline what the design may cover lets you click around the area so the design never covers a handle or a strap; Clear outline removes it. Enter the product name, its type, its width, and the real imprint size in inches, pick the methods the area takes, and add more areas (up to 6) for a back, a side, or a pocket. Save as your product keeps it under Your products for the whole team; later changes are saved with Save changes. Find the area for me is coming soon.

Build a shape makes a product the library doesn't have, drawn and lit like the rest: a box or bag (width, height, depth; carton, mailer, shipping box, or paper bag), a cylinder for any cup, can, tube, or bottle (diameter, height, how much narrower the bottom is, a handle, a lid), a flat piece such as a card, sign, panel, or banner (width, height, corner radius), a pouch, or a shirt, hoodie, tote, or apron. Pick its finish and color and press Add this shape.

Import photos (next to Build a shape) takes many product photos at once. Each becomes one of Your products with a starting area in the middle; open it and press Set up the photo to fit the corners.

• Decorate the (location): turns this location on or off. Locations that overlap take turns: turning on Left chest on the T-shirt turns off Full front, and the other way around, because a shop proposes one or the other. With more than one logo in the set, Logo here picks which one goes here.
• Decoration: the methods this location takes: Full color print, Screen print, Pad print, Embroidery, Laser engraving, Deboss, Emboss, and Vinyl / sign cut. Each has its own look: flat spot inks, raised satin stitches with thread sheen, an engraved tone that depends on the material, a pressed or raised shape, or crisp cut vinyl. The line under the buttons says what the method is best for.
• Size: the design's width in inches or centimeters (switch with in and cm); the height follows the logo's shape. The note says the largest the item takes here, and Fill the area makes it as big as fits.
• Position: Top left, Top, Top right, Left, Center, Right, and Bottom place it inside the imprint area; the four arrow buttons nudge it 0.1 in; Turn rotates it.
• Ink colors (Thread colors for embroidery): one chip per color in the logo. Change any chip to print that part in another color. One color makes every ink the first one, All white makes them white, and Logo colors goes back. Full color prints show the logo's colors without chips to change.
• On dark colors: Pick for me uses the light version when the logo would disappear on a dark product: the darkest color turns white and white parts let the product show through. You can also choose Always the light version or Always the original colors.

• Product color: the item's stock colors as dots, a color picker and a hex code box for any color, and Match a photo, which opens any photo (a fabric swatch, the customer's product) so you can click the exact color. See every color shows the mockup in all its colors at once; click one to use it, or Add all to the set.
• On a product photo, Recolor the product in the photo changes its color while keeping the photo's shadows and folds: press Choose the part to recolor, click the product in the picture, then set How far it spreads. Add another part (a handle, a lid) adds more pieces the first click didn't reach. The color stops at the product's outline, and a click that would flood the background is left out.
• Finish (matte, gloss, metal, wood, fabric, glass, paper, kraft) changes how the item and the decoration catch the light. Background: Studio (a soft sweep in the color you pick), Gradient (two colors), None (a see-through PNG), or Your scene (upload a photo to set the product in). Light: where it comes from, how strong, and how much shadow.

Checks lists what a production manager would flag, each with a one-click fix where there is one: a design bigger than the item's imprint area (Fit to …), part of it outside the area (Center it), lines too thin for the method at this size (for example under about 0.05 in for embroidery, with Make it … wide), more colors than the method usually takes (6 for screen print, 4 for pad print, 3 for vinyl, 12 for embroidery) and the setup each color adds, a shaded or many-color logo on a spot-color method (Use full color print), and a logo file too small to print sharp at this size (under 150 dpi). A count on the tab shows how many need a look.

The spec sheet below lists the product, its size, color (with the hex code), and finish, and for each decorated location the method, the imprint size in inches and centimeters, the most the item takes there, the position, the logo used (and whether it is the light version), and the inks. The PDF and the ZIP's spreadsheet say exactly the same.

• Download PNG: this mockup at 2400 pixels square (photo products at 2400 pixels on the long side).
• Spec sheet: a PDF with the mockup and its full spec, one page per mockup. Under This set, Spec sheet (PDF) makes one page for every mockup in the set, and Download all (ZIP) makes a ZIP with a 2400-pixel PNG of each plus spec-sheet.csv (one row per decorated location).
• Add to presentation marks a mockup as a pick (a heart on its card under This set). Presentations are coming soon; your picks are saved with the set and will be ready for it. Send as proof is coming soon too.

The bar under the title holds the set's name and, if you want, the client and project it is for (only clients and projects you can open are listed). Save set saves it the first time; after that every change saves by itself a moment later, and the bar says Saving… or Saved. Copy link copies the set's address; it also opens the mockup you were on, and only your team can open it.

Saved sets (top right) lists your team's sets with a picture of each, newest first. Search by set, client, or project name, filter by client, open one, or delete it. New set starts an empty one.
