Claim:
1. An erecting aid for erecting a box from a box template, comprising: a planar table having a length extending between a proximal end and a distal end thereof and having an upper surface upon which a box template may be positioned; a panel coupled to a side of said planar table at least partially between said proximal end and said distal end of said planar table, said panel having a proximal end, a distal end, a top edge, and a bottom edge, said panel extending upwardly relative to said upper surface of said planar table, said bottom edge of said panel being positioned closer to said upper surface than said top edge of said panel, said panel comprising a planar surface extending between said proximal end, said distal end, said top edge, and said bottom edge of said panel, said bottom edge of said panel being pivotally connected to said planar table such that an angle formed between said panel and said planar table is selectively adjustable such that an extent to which said top edge of said panel extends over said upper surface of said planar table is selectively adjustable; and a clamp operatively associated with said planar table, said clamp comprising: wherein said planar table, said panel, and said clamp are configured to stabilize and maintain a box template in a partially assembled state during an erecting process that occurs on said planar table.
