Long Flat Gift SVG

About this design

Some gifts are long and flat, like a scarf, a board game or a framed print. This one is a wide, low box with a ribbon wrapped around one end and a bow tied on top, its folds drawn with fine lines. The rest of the box is plain, so the design works like a label with space for a name or a message.

The design is ten pieces with two cut-outs. The bow is made of several small pieces outlined by gaps, and a couple of details show gold in the layered version. The box is bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, which shows in small bow details
• Design in green, the box, ribbon and bow

Wide projects

• Card headers and borders.
• Name labels on the long side of the box.
• Mug wraps.
• Gift card envelopes.
• Shelf decals.
• Bookmarks turned sideways.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide. The bow pieces are small, so keep them on the transfer tape. For a mug, 4 to 5 inches wide.

Step by step: name label mug

1. Set the gift to 4.5 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Type a name in your software and size it to fit the plain part of the box.
3. Use Slice in Cricut Design Space or Subtract in Silhouette Studio to cut the name out of the box.
4. Cut it from permanent vinyl.
5. Apply it to a mug; the mug color shows through the name.

Color ideas

• Green with gold, the classic
• Red with a white bow
• Kraft with a red bow for a rustic look
• Gold with a red bow

Design notes

The bow sits at one end, which leaves most of the box plain. That makes the design work like a label, with the bow as a festive accent.

Good to know

Because the box is long and plain, it is perfect for names. Use it as a place card, a gift label or a mug decal with someone’s name across the box.

Making a border

Place several long gifts end to end in your software, alternating colors, for a festive border along the bottom of a card or sign.

Choosing a size

At 3 to 4 inches wide, it suits tags and labels. At 5 to 6 inches, it fits mugs and cards. At 10 inches and up, it works on shelves and signs.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to move the bow to the other end.
• Use the editor’s offset border to join the pieces into one shape.
