I need to find a tutorial (or just be pointed in the right direction) into learning how to make a design in Illustrator that is contoured. I'm basically trying to make a design for a cup. Here's the template I've been given:
I've got images and text that I want to put on it but it would appear that I need to curve the images to make it work on this template. What is it that I need to learn? I'm not very familiar with this kind of design and just need to read up on it. Thanks.

As Scott mentioned, Envelop Distort may do the trick. Sometimes I find it acts strange though. For the simple warp needed for a cup, you might also use Effect ⇒ Warp ⇒ Arc.
You'll want to create artwork in a rectangle which matches the entire width as if it were flat. You also must have a rectangle drawn in the background. It can have a fill of none or white, but you really want the rectangle there.
Then follow the steps in the image below.
