Step 1:
Previously we did the following:
Blank mug design was created.
The blank design was put on a mug product in our POD website.
The mug template was saved, and we downloaded a PNG mug image from the POD website.
We created a shape to copy the front and back sides of the mug in Inkscape.
The shapes were saved.
The shapes were used to clip the design onto the mug.
Then a blend mode was used to blend the design into the mug.
We saved PNG of the mug with the design on it.
The PNG image can be used to make video mockup later.
Step 2
In this next step, we will use a background picture to make product images for our mug product.
You take a transparent product blank and put your design on it.
The you use Layer>Blend mode>multiply, to blend the design into the product.
You save it.
If the product came with a background you don’t want to use, use remove.bg to remove it.
You could also take picture of a blank product in the environment you want to keep as background. And once you put the design on the product, you don’t need to put the product in a background.
In this video you use a blank product with no background. Therefore, we will add background to have lifestyle images for the product.
Save the product with the design on it as PNG with no background if a background will be added.
Alternatively, you can add the transparent product blank in the background images you took and clipped and save. That way once you add the design onto the product, you save and have the product images to list the product with.
Add background to make product image
In Inkscape,
File>document properties> change the unit to pixels.
Change the number to the size you want. Like 320px by 320px (96 dpi) or 1,000 px by 1,000px at 300 dpi if that is the size of the background you will work with.
Close the document properties.
Add layers
On layer 1 add the background.
On layer 2, add the product with the design on it.
The product is the same size as the background.
With Shift and CTRL keys held, drag the angles arrows to reduce the size to your liking.
Use CTRL key and move the product like the mug to sit on the flat surface in the background picture.
If you like the position of the mug, select the background image and click File>Export and export selection.
You could select the page instead of selection if you position the background image in the page and align it.
How to make 640px wide image when starting with 320*320px image?

Object>group.
With SHIFT + CTRL held, drag the corner to increase the size of the mugs or drag in to decrease.

Save the background as PNG and save selection.
Save to have a copy.

Add a layer on top.
Lock the bottom layers.
Add a rectangle to the layer on top.
Unlock the padlock to set the rectangle size once you click on the selection tool to select the rectangle.
Make the rectangle transparent to see through.
No stroke and add fill color and reduce the opacity when you click on the fill color at the bottom of the screen. Set the size to 640px W x 320px H.
Unselect the layer and align the rectangle on the background.
Duplicate the rectangle and move to the side.
Duplicate the images and move to the side.
These duplicated image and rectangle can be used to make other product images if desired.
Select all (the background, image, and rectangle).
That is a product image ready to save.
Another variation.

Select the reangle and the background.

How to make website version of the image clipped?
320px wide. In Inkscape 320px is 96 dpi and that correspond at 1,000px at 300dpi.
Lock the pad.
Select one image.
Change the width to 320px. The height will adjust.
Alternatively, you can clip as above to make 320px by 240px.
How to clip the image to make product images for your website product listings?
Option 1
The rectangle won’t fit the cups. Therefore, select the image and the background and lock the pad. Change the height to 240px.
Put the rectangle on the image.
Align.
Select all (background, image, rectangle).
Click Object>clip>set.
Save the selection as PNG.
Option 2
Alternatively, bring a background of the size 320px by 240px and put the mug on it.
