While I like to keep some trade secrets to myself, I will give you a little bit of insight...
I used Adobe Illustrator to draw the different shapes of the boxes, then I used the Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator plug-in in After Effects (there is a PS version of the plug-in but I don't want to buy it twice) to import the shapes and extrude them. I export each shape from AE as a PNG and open it in PS. Then I apply various colors and textures to the shapes and do a decent amount of Photoshop adjustments until I end up with something I like.
That's the simplest explanation of my process. I'm sure there are other, faster, probably better ways to achieve the same effect, but this is the one that I am used to. You'll have to forgive me that I don't want to go into too much detail... if I give away all my secrets, nobody will need me anymore.
