Create a Glass Jar Mockup for Your Product

Designing a label for honey, jam, pickles or another jarred food? Add your artwork to a 3D glass jar, choose what goes inside and adjust the lid and glass. MockFold lets you preview a jar label mockup online before making packaging or arranging product photography.

See your label on glass, not just a flat image

Glass packaging is different from a cardboard box or opaque tub. You can see the product inside, the label backing can show through the jar, and the colour of the contents changes the overall look. The Jar mockup gives you controls for those details without requiring a separate 3D application.

Pick a jar size and lid

The editor includes five sizes: Mini (4 fl oz), Small (8 fl oz), Medium (12 fl oz), Large (16 fl oz) and a taller Mason-style Pint (16 fl oz). Each size has its own built-in shape.

Choose a one-piece Twist lid or a two-piece Mason lid. Adjust its gold, silver, black or custom colour and move the finish between matte and glossy.

How to make your jar mockup

  1. Select a size. Start with the jar closest to your intended packaging.
  2. Upload your label. Add PNG or JPEG artwork.
  3. Fit the label. Change its wrap, scale and vertical position.
  4. Choose the contents. Pick a preset or a custom colour.
  5. Adjust the glass and lid. Set clarity, tint, lid style and finish, then choose your image angle.

Show what is inside the jar

Try jam, honey, peanut butter, mayo, pickles, olives or salsa. You can also leave the jar empty or choose a custom contents colour. This helps food brands assess whether a label has enough contrast against the product behind it.

The fill amount follows each built-in preset, so you cannot change the fill level independently.

Fine-tune the label and glass

Adjust how far the label wraps around the jar, its size and how high or low it sits. You can set a separate label backing colour for the side visible through the glass. If your PNG artwork has transparent areas, those areas can reveal the glass.

Use the glass Tint and Clarity controls to compare clearer and frosted looks. These settings also carry into Render Studio, where the glass and see-through contents can be rendered with light transmission.

Export a jar product image

Starter supports PNG and JPEG image export and saved projects. Pro includes higher-resolution images, multi-angle export and Render Studio. You can try these tools on the included demo jar for free.

The Jar mockup does not export videos or downloadable 3D models.

Who uses glass jar mockups?

  • Honey producers checking labels against golden contents.
  • Jam and preserves makers preparing market or online listings.
  • Food brands comparing jar sizes and lid colours.
  • Packaging designers presenting clear or die-cut label concepts.

Good to know

MockFold's Jar mockup is designed for glass food jars. It does not include candle wax, cosmetic jar shapes, quart or half-gallon sizes, hexagonal jars or adjustable fill levels. You can move a label up and down and change its scale, but there is no label rotation control.
