Business Card Mockup Generator
A business card is judged in the hand, which is why the mockup has to show thickness. Card stock has a visible edge, a stack has a shadow between each layer, and matte, kraft and coated stocks catch light completely differently. It is also the only thing here that is always double-sided, so a mockup showing one face is showing half the product.
How to make a business card mockup
- 1
Upload front and back
Both faces matter. The back is where most cards fail, either left empty or crowded with everything that would not fit on the front.
- 2
Pick the stock and the arrangement
A stack shows thickness and stock colour. A held card shows scale. Fanned out shows both faces at once, which is the shot most print listings lead with.

Output is square and ready to publish.
Stop rebuilding the same images
Signed in, you describe your listing set once — your scenes, your title, your size chart, your logo — and every new design runs through it and comes back finished. The tenth product costs what the first did.
Add a design to continue.
Required. Everything else has a sensible default.

Your logo on every mockup
Add your logo once and it is placed on every image the flow generates, same position, same size, across the whole set. No bulk mockup generator does this, and it is the reason most sellers still finish their listing images by hand.

What sellers say
Before Custom Mockup Generator, every new design meant rebuilding the same five listing images from scratch. Now I drop in the design and get the whole set back ready to upload. It turned mockups from a production task into a checkbox.
Maya PatelEtsy seller, 40+ designsI tried template libraries, but the problem was never finding another mockup. It was making the same front, back, flat lay, size chart and lifestyle images over and over. Custom Mockup Generator finally solves that repetition.
Daniel BrooksPrint-on-demand sellerWe were considering building a rendering API because we had so many designs to process. Custom Mockup Generator gave us the result we actually needed without turning our shop into a software project.
Chris MorganPOD store ownerThe biggest difference is that I don't have to think about individual images anymore. I define the listing set once, add a new design, and the title, logo and size chart are already where they need to be.
Sofia RamirezIndependent apparel sellerMost mockup tools help you choose a scene. Custom Mockup Generator helps you finish a listing. That distinction sounds small until you're creating images for dozens or hundreds of products.
Alex TurnerE-commerce sellerI used to dread adding a new design because the artwork took five minutes and the mockups took forever. Now the artwork is basically the only part I have to do.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a business card?
There is no single answer, which catches people out. The US standard is 3.5 × 2 in, most of Europe uses 85 × 55 mm, and 90 × 50 mm is common elsewhere. They are close enough to look interchangeable and different enough that a design centred for one sits slightly off on another.
How much bleed does a business card need?
3 mm on each edge if any colour or image reaches the border, plus a 4 mm safe margin inside the trim for text. Cards are cut in stacks, so drift is normal and a design with text near the edge will show it.
Can I mock up embossed or foiled cards?
You can show the design and the stock, and an angled shot will suggest the finish through the way light falls across it. A true emboss or foil is a physical process with a depth and a shine that a flat artwork file does not carry, so treat the mockup as an impression rather than a proof.
Should the mockup show both sides?
Yes. A card is always double-sided in practice, and a listing or a client presentation that shows only the front invites the same question every time. A fanned or paired arrangement puts both faces in one image.
Is this mockup generator free?
Yes. You get 4 free images without an account, and they carry a watermark. Pro is $7 a month and gives you 100 images, without the watermark.
Can I use these mockups commercially?
Yes, once the watermark is gone, which the Pro plan handles. Clean exports can be used on Etsy, Shopify, Amazon and print-on-demand listings, and in client work. Watermarked exports are for comps and internal review only.
Do I need Photoshop or a smart-object template?
No. This runs in the browser. Upload your artwork, choose the options, download the result. There is no PSD to open, no smart object to replace and nothing to install.
Which file formats can I upload?
PNG, JPG and WebP. PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest result on every product, because a JPG carries a white rectangle that shows up against anything the artwork does not fully cover.
