📘 Pro Guide

Why Mockups Look Fake

The design floatsThe most common failure. Artwork sitting on top instead of in the fabricNumber one issue
It ignores wrinklesWhere the fabric folds, the print must fold with it or the eye rejects itCritical
Hard rectangular edgeA visible box around the artwork instantly reads as a paste jobEasy to spot
Wrong light on the printThe design must receive the same light as the rest of the productSubtle but fatal
No fabric textureReal ink lets the weave show through, especially on cottonRealism
Perspective mismatchThe design must sit at the same angle as the surface it is printed onGeometry

Print Method Looks

Listing Image Strategy

Main image sells the clickIt appears in search results at thumbnail size - test it smallHighest impact
Second image shows detailClose crop on print quality answers the trust questionConversion
Lifestyle shows contextBuyers picture themselves owning itEmotional
Scale prevents returnsInclude something familiar so size is unmistakableReduces refunds
Colourway gridOne image showing every option reduces back and forthEfficiency
Consistency across the setSame light, same surface, same angle - it reads as one brandProfessional
