Cut lines and fold lines
Filled shapes are cut. Thin lines are folds, kept in their own group: rust lines on our boxes and cards, dashed lines on the place cards, belly bands and cable tags. Your software cannot tell a fold from a cut on its own: set the fold group to Score, or delete it and fold against a ruler. In Design Space, attach the score lines to the shape they fold, so they stay in place on the mat.
Layers that sit on each other
| Our design | Pieces | How they go together |
|---|---|---|
| Circle card window | 65 mm window and a 57 mm inset | The inset leaves a 4 mm gap all round; glue it to a backing behind the window |
| Round and tall pumpkins | Silhouette, oval center panel, stem | Center the panel on the silhouette; the stem is its own piece |
| Stacked pumpkin trio | Three silhouettes: top, middle, bottom | Stack from the bottom up |
| Layered labels and ornaments | A base and a border or inset | Line up at the supplied size before you offset anything |
A worked example
Our folded place card is 100 × 90 mm flat with one fold line across the middle, at 45 mm. Upload it, select both the outline and the fold line, and it should read 100 × 90 mm. Set the fold line to Score and attach it to the outline; the card cuts flat and folds to a 100 × 45 mm tent. To make it 120 mm wide, type 120 with the ratio locked: it becomes 120 × 108 mm, folding at 54 mm.
Belly bands: measure around the box
Our belly bands are 180 × 24 mm with folds at 40, 70, 110 and 140 mm. That length fits the example box only. Measure around your box, add the overlap, and change only the straight part; keep the front plaque at its size and centered.
