A standard box, octoganal box, and pocket folder

With Illustrator's wide variety of supported file formats, you can easily import templates that you've designed in a CAD package or received from your pre-press or service bureau. Because EPS, DXF, and most other popular formats are already supported, this is probably the fastest way to get started.

Alternately, create your own template in Illustrator: perfect for new greeting cards, pocket folder styles, or any other die cut design.

Once you've imported or designed your template, fold it up to see what the final shape looks like. Rotate the folded shape to see it from different perspectives. If you don't like the template, change it in Illustrator. Add or subtract windows; use any of Illustrator's tools to shape them.

Take this time to see how the box will appear before you place any artwork. See how the angles affect the the design. After seeing the finished shape, it's much easier to create the graphics that will appear on top.
