A stationery mockup is a curated arrangement of physical paper goods like business cards and envelopes, styled and shot to display graphic branding designs.
Crafting Realistic Mockups
Control the lighting falloff to avoid a flat vector-like render. Use a single soft directional key light from the side, allowing subtle cast shadows from the edges of the paper to establish depth and physical thickness.
Emphasize tactile textures rather than perfectly smooth surfaces. Specifying cotton paper, linen cardstock, or cold-press textures gives the AI engine enough structural noise to make the mockup feel like an expensive, tangible photograph rather than a digital vector.
