Cardboard packaging performance

Hello

I have to draw up product packaging plans that will then be used to create an operating procedure.

I would have liked my representation to be as faithful as possible, that is to say that the cardboard packaging that will protect the product be folded down at the end. 

With inventor I don't know how to fold down this box.

Or make only a note asking you to fold the ends.

What do you  think?

Here's a view of what it's going to look like

Thank you for your help

Hello

See these two tutorials for creating folds in Inventor:

Hello

I tried the folds but it doesn't work, I can't do it otherwise that's what I wanted to do

What's the problem?

Why doesn't it work?

post a step of the section of your box

I'm going to try something ;-)

Watch this video

another walkthrough create a background that you staple 

yes after X try your packaging would be rectangular or square no bleme

but as it's an irregular polygon there it poses x pproblem

so the best I think is to make a background

 with a fastening via a stapler 

Good evening

And if you cut your packaging flush with your piece, then for each edge of the packaging you made a fold upon an edge, each time shifting the thickness of the packaging while keeping the 3 largest edges for the end. So that they can cover the little ones....  

Hello, create your sketch and instead of using the extruded function, use the sheet metal function.
This will give you the same result but with a unfolded one.

Hello

You have to remove material to be able to change the part in sheet metal and then convert it and add folds on edge as in the attached file as well as a 3D 2016 as well as the step...

Hello

Why not create folds because as in the manufacture of original custom-made cardboard packaging , it always happens like this.
