Package Design Procedure

3. Make provision for the folding of the flaps by marking them with a pencil.  
4. Arrange your design on the paper and print.  
5. Use the creasing blade to mark the areas that need folding.  
6. Fold the package and join the bottom and side with glue (gun)  
7. When joined, A will face C, and B will face D, then E will be glued to A, and the sides are formed.  
8. I and J will face each other and K will overlap them and that forms the bottom  
9. F and H will face each other and G will overlap them at the top.
