You don't need to use a 3D application to create a quick, high-quality preview of your design wrapped on a box (product sellers refer to this as a box shot). In a few simple steps, you can turn your package design into stunning product images.

With your finished CorelDRAW® design (separated into the front and one side), create a an empty PowerClip® container the size of your front package design. Duplicate it for the side (the portion of the box that should be visible later). If the box front side should point to the left, align the front design to the right side of the PowerClip, then put your front design into this PowerClip. Repeat this step for the left package side, but with the design aligned to the left of the PowerClip.

Now convert each PowerClip to a bitmap by clicking Bitmap > Convert To Bitmap. In the Convert to Bitmap dialog box, you can choose whichever settings you prefer, but ensure that the Transparent Background option is enabled. Then, select the front bitmap and click Bitmap > 3D Effects > 3D Rotate. In the 3D Rotate dialog box, set the Vertical rotation value to 5, the Horizontal rotation value to -20, and disable the Best Fit option. Apply the effect, select the side bitmap, apply the same effect but with the Horizontal rotation value of the front side 90 (yes, coincidently a square angle).
Select both distorted bitmaps and press C and E to align them to each other. Voila!

 All you need now is a background!
