    What I do is this:
    1) Bring in the box into a canvas that is a a small bit wider, and about 2/5 taller than what you want to make a reflection of.
    2) Duplicate the box
    3) Rotate copy 180 degrees.
    4) Flip the copy like like this: <-->
    5) Bring duplicate down below the actual box.
    6) Lower the opacity to around 10-20%
    I hope that helps.

    Pretty much what RB said but instead of doing step 3 & 4, just tell it to Flip Verticle. (^^)d

    Optional part - At the end maybe you can put a layer mask on your reflection layer and put a black to white gradient so it looks like a fading off towards the end..
