the best way I know is to use Adobe Photoshop and command 'Place' - it's not fully automated, but you can save a lot of time if using in a smart way...
1. You need a good, clean picture of empty branding elements - you can draw them in vectors/ take a picture/ buy or whatever... sth like this:
stock-photo-blank-business-cards-stack-up-on-grey-background-128615063.jpg 14.22KB 693 downloads
You can make a composition of several, typical appliances, like business card, T-shirt, letter, envelope etc.
2. After opening the file in Photoshop, use File->Place to place a logo over your business card, in example.
The logo should be in vector format, I'm using PDF, it should be just logo, without background etc.
3. Photoshop creates Smart Object containg your logo - this enables you to easily update content of that Object later, so you can use it as a template.
3. Transform your Smart Object (logo) to fit the right angle and scale (Cmd+T on Mac, Ctrl+T on Win), so it looks natural.
4. If you save this as a .PSD file for later use, then you can easily replace content of Smart Object, just go to Layers palette, find appropriate layer/object, right click and select Replace (or Update, don't remember...).
Hope it helped!

Very nice and detailed post! Another way (if you have the logo or design in Ai) instead of File->Place is to just copy and paste directly into Photoshop as a smart object
