If you’re a designer, you likely know all of the ins and outs of Adobe Illustrator. A cornerstone of graphic design, with each new iteration, the software remains a workhorse, offering designers new and improved tools to expand the boundaries of their creativity.

One of the newest additions to Adobe Illustrator is the Mockup (Beta) tool, which will help revolutionize the way packaging designers visualize their designs and concepts on real-life objects virtually.

The Mockup (Beta) tool in Adobe Illustrator allows designers to seamlessly create high-quality mockups of their artwork using a variety of objects, including packaging, mugs, T-shirts, pillows, and anything else you can think of. The new feature simplifies the process of visualizing concepts, realistically staging your designs on a 3D model. What’s more, it can enhance the internal creative process and assist clients in grasping the final product’s appearance without the need for sample prints.
