Classification plans are useful for both physical and digital archives and collections, and you can use the same (folder) structure for both archives. Plans are normally developed for the physical archive initially, and then also applied to digital documents, but it can work equally well in the other direction, i.e. you start with a folder structure for your digital documents, and then adopt this same structure for your physical archive and collections.

How do I create a (new) classification plan?

The best starting point for a new classification plan is to study a model classification plan and check how you can apply it to your own archive. Note: no two organisations are the same, and this also applies for their archives and collections. No archive corresponds exactly with the model classification plans, and it is not the intention that you copy the models exactly; you can use them as a source of inspiration and basis for developing your own folder structure.
