I've tried to create a milkcarton, with the print on it of a Dutch
Dairy-company called Coberco.
What do you think? Did I succeed?

Looks good, but it needs a bit more thickness.

Milk carton cardboard is rather thick, and as a result, does not crease
very well. If this modelled carton had rounder edges, and if the flaps
looked thicker, it would add to the effect, immeasurably.

Good work so far! I like the image map.. seamless!

I agree with Simon, more roundness. A very squared 'superellipsoid
<0.1,0.1>' for each surface instead perhaps might do better. Also,
American milk cartons anyhow have larger sealed tabs at the top.
You didn't mention how you got the image_map. Took one apart and scanned
it? I did that to a Coke can once, not easy doing it with a cylindrical
aluminum metal can, cutting the ends off and flattening it out, plenty
of dents and jagged edges.
Btw, noticed "verse" in the label there. Hey, that's me!

Looking pretty good..

Two suggestions, though:

1) make the material a little thicker
2) The strip at the top of the carton, where the date is printed... In my
experience that is larger then it is in your picture. I think about 1.5
times as large would seem right...

(Then again, I haven't seen any Dutch milk containers lately. ;-)

Really good, I like the sell by date, that's a
nice detail.

Yes a thicker tab on the top, it looks as though
it would be really difficult to open.

Cheers

"vers/verse" means "fresh"  in Dutch.

  Considering the number of comments related to the constuction of
your container object it might help if you could look at how someone
else accomplished the task of modeling a milk carton. There is a nicely
modelled milk carton available for download at the Pov Objects Collection
located at http://twysted.net  The site appears to be down today but
should be back up and running by tommorrow. It goes offline once and a
while for unknown reasons.
