If you aren’t confident with how to create a box, start by downloading a template to build from templatemaker.nl– this is a great place to start. By starting with a simple box you can learn most of the layout techniques you will need.

Examples of this are Affinity Designer/Adobe Illustrator/SCAL (straight lines only), CorelDRAW (straight and curved lines), Inkscape (can measure whole curves only using [Extension]-[Visualise Path]-[Measure Path…]).

Struggling to get accurate measurements/working in curves
We have a video on how to do this process manually using strips of card instead of individual panels. You’ll recognise the N from that process. Score a strip of card at 1cm that is the desired height + 1cm in width. The length of the strip isn’t important as you can join more strips together.
