What are the guidelines for 3DSVGs on Creative Fabrica? – Creative Fabrica

3D SVGs are 3D paper cut files available on Creative Fabrica. These designs are typically created from flat materials such as paper, cardstock, or kraft paper, and are intended to be cut, folded, and assembled - either by hand or using an electronic cutting machine, into decorative or functional 3D projects.

Common types of 3D SVG designs include: gift boxes, pop-up cards, home décor items (e.g., wall art, ornaments), paper sculptures (e.g., animals, flowers), etc.

The design files are usually provided in both cut-ready and printable formats, such as SVG, PDF, DXF, PNG, and JPEG. The SVG format is particularly recommended for use with cutting machines like Cricut or Silhouette.

Below are guidelines for products in the 3DSVG category.

Section	Guidelines & Instructions
Design considerations	Name your files and layers clearly (e.g., Layer1_cut.svg, Base_piece.dxf) so customers can easily identify their purpose. If your project includes both cut and score parts, ensure they are on separate layers for easy software setup. Include helpful extras like PDF assembly guides or reference images to enhance the customer experience.
Recommended formats	SVG, PDF, DXF, PNG, AI, EPS
Product Description	We recommend including the following: Which formats are included. Target machines or software. Assembly instructions or special notes (e.g., “glue required”, “slot-fit design”).
Preview images	Your preview images should: Clearly show the final assembled design. Include high-quality mockups or photos of finished pieces. Be clean, engaging, and accurately represent the files.
