I think this is what you're looking for. The order of your flanges matters. You also want your adjacent flanges to stick out beyond the base flange to avoid poor corner geometry. As for closing up the corners, if you flatten my part, you'll notice that the flat-pattern actually generates sharps, so the real formed part would have closed corners. I don't know why SolidWorks does not close these corners off in the folded configuration.
