hello everyone.
Im currently a student doing graphic design and we are about to go into packaging. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any resources or places where I can find some templates for product boxes/packaging so I can have a look and get a feel for how certain templates fold up together and look. Thanks for your help guys :)

the best way to learn is to find the packaging around you and tear it down and inspect it.
break it down and measure it, recreate in illustrator. understand how it was created and experiment

There is a book on this exact subject that is helpful, just dont remember what it is called :)

Send me an e-mail. Give me some details. Tuck, reverse tuck, gable top, double bow. I have a ton of professionally drawn packaging die lines in ai format.

I agree with BonSeff, I have been doing packaging for a few years. it's a lot of trail and error and mock ups.
good luck
