This free can mockup builds the can from its real size and lays your wrap on it at the print size, so the seam, the neck and the metal sit exactly where they will on the shelf.
A label round the wall, its ends meeting at the back.

Send your wrap and this can to AI can mockup: a photo-real scene on a bar, a beach or in a cooler, made from your words.
It starts from the can itself, so every picture describes a can you can actually print.
The eight cans carry the diameter and height of the common aluminum beverage cans, from the 66 mm standard to the 53 mm slim. Type any other diameter, height and end, and the neck and bottom are drawn to match.
Across your file runs the circumference, down it the wall and the neck, so the artwork sits as the printer will put it. A file carrying 1/8 in bleed is trimmed to its edge, and a 300 dpi template comes in the size on screen.
A wrap label sits on the wall with metal above and below and a gap where its ends meet, on paper, gloss, matte or clear film. A printed can carries the ink over the wall and up the neck, on bare metal or a white basecoat.
Four studios give the long upright highlights of a product photo, and the light turns around the can. The lens runs from 24 to 100 mm, and a view you like is saved for later.
A flat wrap shows every word at once. A can shows about a third of it from the front and hides the seam at the back, so a layout that reads well flat can turn its logo onto the side.
A free can mockup answers what a flat file leaves open: what the shopper sees first, whether the name fits the curve, and how the metal looks around the label.
Beverage cans come in a few body diameters. The standard can is 66 mm across and takes 330 ml at 115.19 mm tall, 355 ml (12 oz) at 122.22 mm, 473 ml (16 oz) at 157.23 mm and 500 ml at 167.84 mm. The sleek can is 57.4 mm across, the slim 53 mm, and the stubby is a standard body cut down to 90.93 mm.
The end, the lid, is named in the can trade’s shorthand: the first digit is inches and the next two sixteenths, so a 202 end is 53.98 mm. Standard and sleek cans take a 202 end and slim cans a 200, which gives a sleek can its short neck.
Small breweries often put a pressure sensitive label on a blank can: 8.125 × 3.625 in on a 12 oz can, 8.125 × 5 in on a 16 oz can and 7 × 5.31 in on a 12 oz sleek, a little shorter than the circumference so the ends meet with a small gap. A wrap label in this free beer can mockup starts on these sizes.
A printed can is decorated before it is filled, the ink running over the wall and up into the neck, so here the top of your file climbs the neck as it will in print.
Start from the template: the artwork area at 300 dpi with the trim, a 1/8 in bleed, a 1/4 in safe area, the front’s center and the seam. Keep the brand name and the legal lines inside the safe area; the middle of the file is the front of the can.
Files from AI beer can design land 1:1 on its three can sizes, with or without bleed, as does any file at the template’s shape. The panel says whether a file matches, or by how much it is wider or narrower.
Aluminum is a mirror, so a can takes its look from the light around it. The soft studio keeps colors true, bright suits white and pastel cans, warm flatters amber beers, and dark gives black cans thin rim highlights. Turn the light to move a highlight off the logo.
Gloss shows crisp reflections, satin and matte soften them, and brushed stretches them along the can. A lens of 70 mm and up keeps the can straight like a catalog shot; a short lens gives a bold, wide view.
The stage takes the shape of the picture, so what you see is the file: square for a shop’s main image, 4:5 for a feed, 16:9 for a slide and 9:16 for a story.
PNG and WebP keep a transparent background with the contact shadow; JPG takes the background color you pick, or white. Sizes run from 1024 to 8192 px, and the turntable video records one full turn at 1080 px.
When the free can mockup looks right, Put this can in an AI scene sends your wrap and the can’s size, color and finish to AI can mockup, which sets the same can on a bar, a beach or in a cooler.

Eight common cans from the 250 ml slim to the 500 ml standard, the 12 oz, 16 oz and 12 oz sleek among them, plus any size you type.
The template button gives the exact size for the can and print type on screen. For a wrap label on a 12 oz can that is 8.125 × 3.625 in, 2438 × 1088 px at 300 dpi, plus 1/8 in bleed on each side if your printer asks for it.
A can is round, so the two ends of the wrap meet at the seam, which the mockup puts at the back. Keep the front in the middle of your file and nothing important near the ends.
Yes. Leave the background transparent and choose PNG or WebP: the can and its soft shadow come out on a clear background.
Yes. A printed can on bare metal or white suits soda and energy drinks, and a wrap label on a blank can suits craft beer, seltzer and coffee.
