First, I drew the template on paper. Then, I rubbed the duralar against the piece of paper to create static so that they would cling together. Then I carefully cut the template out.
After using a process that I dubbed, parallel scoring, I removed the duralar from the paper and began the long process of folding. I had to be extremely careful, because if I tried to fold it too quickly, the duralar would crack and split.
I then used super-strength quick-drying super glue to glue the box together, after using scotch tape to tape the box in place.
The end result is a tight-fitting, clear, shiny container that helps the t shirt keep it's shape and to ensure that there is enough room for the CD case that I designed.
The next step is to mock up the CD case. Hopefully, the template that I came up with will fit the less than 15 millimeters of space that I allotted for it. Fingers crossed! I know that I'm crazy for trying to fit so much stuff into a small space, but hey, I want my package design to rival those of Apple's. Those designers somehow manage to cram so much into the tiniest of packages.
