Upload a shorts mockup PSD template to SudoMock, then use the API or Dashboard Playground to replace the Smart Object layer with your design artwork. The rendering engine composites your design onto the white shorts surface using Multiply blend mode, which preserves the visible mesh fabric texture. Each render costs $0.002 and returns a production-ready image.
Most POD platforms and marketplaces recommend product images of at least 2000px on the longest side. SudoMock supports output resolution up to 10,000px, which covers requirements for Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, and other e-commerce platforms. Higher resolution also allows for cropping and zooming without quality loss.
Yes. Mockups rendered through SudoMock are intended for commercial use in product listings. The rendered output images can be used on Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, and other e-commerce platforms. The template itself is part of SudoMock's library and is accessed through the API or Dashboard rather than downloaded as a standalone file.
SudoMock offers 500 free render credits on signup, which allows generating mockups at no cost for initial testing. Each render costs $0.002, so 500 credits cover a substantial number of shorts mockup variations. The platform supports batch rendering via API for scaling beyond the free tier.
SudoMock uses Multiply blend mode when compositing designs onto fabric mockups. This blend mode allows the underlying mesh weave pattern and fabric shadows to show through your artwork, producing a result that looks like the design is printed on the actual polyester mesh rather than digitally overlaid. The white base surface is essential for this effect to work correctly.
This template includes six angles: front center view, 3/4 action pose, back view, waistband and drawstring detail close-up, lifestyle athletic context showing a lunge pose, and side profile view. All angles feature the same male model wearing the shorts, providing consistent visual coverage for product listings. Research indicates that multiple product angles can lead to a 58% increase in sales across categories.
The mockup template is designed to represent athletic mesh shorts commonly available through POD fulfillment providers including Printful, Printify, and Gelato. Design placement areas correspond to standard print zones for all-over-print and panel-print shorts. You can render your artwork onto this template and use the output images in your POD product listings.
In common usage, a shorts mockup refers to a photorealistic product image where a design is composited onto a blank garment. A shorts template may refer to the underlying PSD file with Smart Object layers, or to a flat design layout for the garment pattern. In SudoMock's context, the mockup template is the base PSD file that the rendering API uses to generate finished mockup images with your designs applied.

Offering multiple photos depicting a product from different angles leads to a 58% increase in sales regardless of category (Square and Bigcommerce via Claid.ai, 2024).
This mockup template includes six distinct angles to provide comprehensive product coverage for shorts listings.
Images with models can increase conversion rates by up to 20% (Shopify via Botika, 2024).
All six angles in this template feature the shorts worn by a male model rather than flat-lay or ghost mannequin presentation.
22% of online returns stem from products not aligning with the depicted images (Canon Central and North Africa, 2024).
Accurate fabric texture rendering through Multiply blend mode helps reduce the gap between mockup appearance and actual printed product.
The print-on-demand market was valued at $12.15 billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach $46.43 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 25.05% (Mordor Intelligence, 2026).
Athletic shorts and mesh shorts represent a growing segment within POD apparel, driven by demand for custom sportswear.
High-volume POD sellers have over 500 listings on average and publish approximately 10 new listings every week (Printify, 2026).
API-based rendering at $0.002 per image supports high-volume listing generation across shorts variations and colorways.
“consistency and quality of product images directly impact conversion rate”
“High-quality images take away the biggest doubt that comes with shopping online: Will it really look like this?”
“For our athletic shorts line, we render about 200 mockups per week across different designs. The mesh texture showing through the design is what makes it look like an actual printed product rather than a flat graphic pasted on top.”
“We switched from manually creating shorts mockups in Photoshop to API-based rendering. The time savings let us test more designs per week, and the six-angle sets give our product pages enough visual coverage to reduce customer questions about fit.”
“For apparel products, front, back, and side views represent the minimum required angles to give online shoppers enough visual information to evaluate fit and design placement.”
“Images featuring human models wearing apparel tend to increase conversion rates compared to flat-lay or ghost mannequin presentations, as they help shoppers visualize fit on a real body.”
“A significant portion of e-commerce product returns are attributed to items looking different in person than they appeared in listing photos, making accurate and high-quality imagery essential.”
“Providing multiple product photos from different angles has been shown to meaningfully increase sales across e-commerce categories, as shoppers gain greater confidence from comprehensive visual information.”
“Athletic shorts remain one of the more competitive apparel categories in print-on-demand, with mesh and basketball styles showing consistent demand across marketplace platforms.”
This mockup template shows white polyester mesh shorts worn by a male model in a warm, sunlit interior resembling a cozy reading nook. The model is a young South Asian man with medium-length wavy dark hair, light facial stubble, and a lean, athletic build. He wears a plain white crewneck t-shirt paired with the white drawstring mesh shorts. The setting features a tall wooden bookshelf filled with vintage hardcover books, a brown leather club chair, a traditional Persian-style rug on hardwood flooring, and sheer curtains filtering natural sunlight from a window. The warm, golden-hour lighting casts soft directional shadows across the garment and model.
The shorts are white polyester mesh with a visible micro-perforated texture across the front panels. They feature an elastic waistband with a drawstring closure finished with metal aglets. The fit is relaxed through the thighs with a mid-thigh inseam length. A subtle contrast side seam or side panel detail is visible along the outer leg in a slightly different tone or stitch line. The fabric drapes loosely and moves naturally with the model across various poses. The plain white surface serves as the design placement zone for SudoMock's rendering engine, where the polyester mesh texture remains visible through overlaid artwork using Multiply blend mode.
Six angles are provided in this template set:
The model stands facing the camera with arms at his sides, showing the full front of the shorts: waistband, drawstring, both leg panels, and overall fit from waist to above the knee. The bookshelf and leather chair appear in the background.
The model leans forward with both hands gripping the bookshelf, body angled at roughly 45 degrees. This view shows the side seam, pocket area, fabric drape during movement, and the shorts' length from a dynamic perspective. He smiles toward the camera.
The model faces away from the camera, holding a vintage book in both hands. The rear of the shorts is fully visible: back waistband construction, drawstring tie at front showing through, rear leg panels, and the side panel detail along the outer hem.
A close-up shot at waist level with the model's hands resting in or near the pockets. The elastic waistband, drawstring with metal aglets, and mesh fabric texture are clearly visible at close range. The micro-perforated weave pattern of the polyester is distinguishable in this view.
The model performs a forward lunge on the Persian rug, barefoot, with hands clasped in front of his chest. This pose demonstrates the shorts' range of motion, fabric stretch during athletic movement, and overall comfort during exercise. The reading nook setting provides a home-workout context.
Full side profile of the model standing upright, showing the inseam length, side panel construction, and garment silhouette from the lateral perspective. The shorts' thickness and drape along the thigh are visible, along with the drawstring hanging at the front waist.
This template is designed for use with SudoMock's PSD rendering API. The white mesh surface accepts user designs via Smart Object layer replacement. Polyester mesh texture shows through composited artwork when rendered with Multiply blend mode, producing realistic fabric appearance. Rendering is available at $0.002 per image through the SudoMock API or Dashboard Playground.
