Preview a label on the can itself

A label that looks good flat may feel different once it wraps around a narrow cylinder. The Can mockup lets you rotate the artwork, look around the body and compare a label band against a full-body print. You can change the appearance without repeatedly exporting flat mockup files.

The Can editor uses one detailed aluminum can model with five preset sizes. It includes the rim, lid and pull tab, so you can check how your packaging design relates to the metal around it.

Five can sizes to choose from

How to make a can mockup

  1. Pick a can size. Choose the proportions that best match your product.
  2. Upload a PNG or JPEG label. Your artwork wraps around the can body.
  3. Choose how it is applied. Use Wrap label for a band or Printed on can for full-body artwork.
  4. Adjust the details. Set the artwork rotation, matte or glossy label finish, and colours of the body, top and pull tab.
  5. Choose your camera angle. Preview the can from the front, back, top, side or a free 3D angle, then export your image.

Useful for more than soda

The same mockup can help you present energy drink labels, craft beer branding, sparkling water artwork and other beverage concepts. Compare the same design on a Standard and Sleek can, test different pull tab colours or move a logo around the cylinder to see how it reads from the front.

Create still images for presentations and product pages

Starter supports PNG and JPEG image exports of your own can design. Pro adds higher resolution and multi-angle image export, plus access to Render Studio for realistic studio lighting and reflections. The included demo can lets anyone try the export and rendering tools.

The Can mockup does not export videos, 3D model files or interactive HTML viewers. Its spinning preview is for inspecting the can inside the editor.

Good to know

The editor has five fixed sizes. It does not include 250 ml slim or 500 ml can presets, condensation, an open can, multiple cans in one scene or a downloadable label template. Artwork fills the selected label area, so prepare a design that suits the wrap you want.
