In Packmage CAD box templates library, all the box templates are listed as 3D folding photo which is much more intuitive for user to find out the box. It will show the die line draft together with half-folding and unfolding photo once user selected one box template. Here we can find out the cigarette box template ID is FE024, then we can click to check the details and open it to modify the parameters such as length, width, depth, caliper etc. Because there's certain standard of the cigarette case, after the box templates opened you can adjust the size according to your need, here we choose the default value as the standard size, then you can export the file of the structural design.
