hey,
i have to mock up a muesli bar and box (to hold 5 x 30g bars). anyone out there got a template for a generic locking box at all? i've got no actual measurements as yet and won't until the concept is through all the hoopla.
any help or links would be great.

i know it's not online, but if you live in a city you can probably pick it up at borders or barnes and noble

its called a dieline not a template.

yea i remember my graphics teacher keep tellin us that.. its a DIE a DIELINE.. not a template!
we used to call it something else, cant remember what now..
- airey0
the dieline is the cutting edge yes, but many packaging books and downloads have a template which shows 'print-free areas' fold and crease areas plus the dieline. voilla a template not just a dieline. plus most people who don't do it a lot on these forums wouldn't know a dieline but may have resources they call templates so i made it easy and not quite so anal in the title.
thx everyone for the help. hugely appreciated!
