From a job advert for modelling in Blender I decided to produce the following product advertising box. It was 'borrowed' from a local restaurant and is advertising a range of different burgers on sale over the weeks ahead.
For realism the box is modeled as flat pack box and folded to produce the cube including the paper tabs and slots to fasten the sides together. It's not just a Blender cube with an image texture attached.
I took photographs of the actual box to create the textures, modifying them in GIMP to create the image texture for the UV map. Specifically straightening them back into squares to fit the UV. Some manual painting to stitch the edges together and enhance the white card backing.
The model uses a solidify modifier to produce the card thickness.
