Looking ahead, our package design will soon be due! For my design, I decided to create my own box. I designed a template by finding an existing package that met my needs (in this case, a Kleenex box), unfolding the box, measuring, and then creating a flat template in Illustrator. It was much easier than I imaged it to be, especially because I worked of an existing package and because I made a mini. Be no afraid of 3D designs!
I have since found several resources that I thought I'd share here, in case you ever have a need and can't find an existing form to use as your guide.
1. Free Packaging Templates
2. Even more Free Packaging Templates from Vecteezy
(Sidebar: if you don't know about Vecteezy and his sister, Brusheezy, run right over there and say hello)
3. ArcaMagica, where you can get templates for a small fee
4. Paper Crafts Magazine has a bunch that you might find useful
Now go forth and design fearless 3D packages.
