A small footprint. A little celebration.
Dinosaur gift box SVG.
A little roar of delight.
Little Roar is an original dinosaur gift box SVG for flexible cardstock, with an English preparation and assembly guide and an annotated fold map. One connected net forms the rectangular body, gable roof and ribbon-retained handle closure. Digital download only.
A long neck.
A memorable little entrance.
Little Roar brings a playful silhouette to a compact, folded gable box. A stout long-neck dinosaur occupies the front with two angular footprint windows set around it. The simple open shapes give the design a distinctive profile without extra layers, lettering or face details. Choose a cardstock colour and ribbon to suit your own party table or small handmade gift.
The dinosaur silhouette and two angular footprint windows form exactly three decorative cutouts. There are no separate eyes, spots or spines to attach. The side triangles remain continuous with the side walls, while the front and back roof panels meet beneath two aligned handle apertures. A separate ribbon through both apertures retains the roof.
The images illustrate a possible finish and setting. Digital files only; finished boxes, cardstock, adhesive, ribbon, contents, tools and styling props are not included.
One connected net.
A clear route to the roof.

|---|---|
| Nominal size | Nominal body panels: 60 mm wide × 35 mm deep × 50 mm high, before stock, fold, kerf and adhesive allowances. These are not guaranteed internal dimensions. Ideal zero-thickness overall height is approximately 85.85 mm including the handle. |
| SVG page | 210 × 130 mm; allow additional machine-required edge and fixture space |
| Artwork bounds | 202 × 118 mm at path centerlines; confirm this after import |
| Operations | 6 closed red CUT paths; 12 open blue SCORE paths; no engraving. Both groups have no fill and centered 0.025 mm strokes. |
| Closure | A user-supplied ribbon through both aligned 30 × 6 mm handle apertures is required to retain the roof. No ribbon, self-locking feature or load rating is supplied. Support the base when moving the box. |
| Material | Flexible uncoated cardstock approved for your exact machine and laser wavelength; not rigid wood, plywood or acrylic construction |

To a small celebration.

Prepare the vectors
Extract the ZIP, import the SVG at 100% and verify the artwork and panel dimensions. Assign red to through-cut and blue to a tested shallow surface score. Where supported, score first, cut inner apertures next and cut outer boundaries last. If a suitable shallow score is unavailable, disable the entire blue group and hand-crease from the fold map. Never through-cut the folds.
-
Raise the walls
Pre-crease the twelve fold paths and leave the side-gable triangles upright. Add no diagonal folds to those triangles. Wrap the wall strip into a tube, glue the right tab inside the front edge, then close the bottom: side flaps first, back next, front last. Glue the overlapping faces and let them cure flat.
-
Tie the roof
Bring the two roof panels together and fold the handle flaps upright, face to face. Pass your own ribbon through both apertures and tie a snug bow. Check the closure with your light, wrapped contents, and support the base instead of carrying the box by its card handle.
This design has not been physically test-cut, scored or assembled. Stock, creasing, adhesive and closure materials affect fit and strength. Make a complete prototype before making a batch; no universal machine settings or finished capacity are supplied.
Before you make.
Small details that matter.
What files will I receive?
The ZIP contains exactly three files: little-roar-dinosaur-gable-gift-box.svg, README.txt and fold-map.png. The SVG is one combined machining layout with separate red CUT and blue SCORE groups. No cut-only or score-only alternative SVG is supplied. The PNG is an annotated assembly reference, not a machining image.
Is this a physical box, or a digital download?
This is a digital download only. The pictures illustrate a possible finished appearance and setting. No physical box, cardstock, adhesive, ribbon, inner wrap, contents, props, tools or machine settings are included.
What size is the box, and how does it close?
Nominal body panels: 60 mm wide × 35 mm deep × 50 mm high, before stock, fold, kerf and adhesive allowances. These are not guaranteed internal dimensions. Ideal zero-thickness overall height is approximately 85.85 mm including the handle. A user-supplied ribbon through both aligned 30 × 6 mm handle apertures is required to retain the roof. No ribbon, self-locking feature or load rating is supplied. Support the base when moving the box.
Can I resize the design?
Keep every cut and fold path aligned and scale all geometry proportionally. Resizing changes windows, glue reach, folds and material allowances. Do not crop or break a connected net. Confirm the new physical dimensions and make a complete prototype in your chosen stock.
How do I prepare it for Glowforge, xTool, Epilog or another laser?
Glowforge: Upload the SVG in the app supported by your exact model. Verify size; assign red to Cut and blue to a tested shallow Score, or Ignore blue for hand creasing.
xTool Studio / XCS: Import as SVG vectors. Studio import DPI and XCS automatic resizing can affect dimensions. Verify the net and panels. Assign red Cut and blue Score or disabled output; excess power or slow speed can still cut folds through.
Epilog: Use vector software and the driver or Dashboard supported by your model. For the documented Illustrator route, retain centered 0.025 mm strokes. Give red and blue separate tested through-cut and light-score settings using the supported mapping workflow.
Other CO₂/diode equipment: Confirm software and controller support. LightBurn imports SVG on supported systems; use separate Line layers for cutting and shallow scoring, or turn blue output off. Do not use Fill for folds. Confirm the preview, ordering, usable bed and approved stock for the exact machine and wavelength. SVG import alone does not establish material compatibility.
Which cardstock and settings should I choose?
Use flexible uncoated cardstock confirmed suitable by its manufacturer and your exact machine instructions. No universal gsm, thickness, power, speed or pass count is supplied. Check coatings and keep adhesive application until after laser processing. Test a scrap, then a full prototype. This design has not been physically test-cut, scored or assembled. This is decorative gift packaging, not a toy or a child-safety tested item. Choose contents and use conditions appropriate to the recipient. Small loose items can pass through the windows; use a separate inner wrap where needed. This is decorative light-gift packaging; no shipping, moisture-barrier or load-rated performance has been established.
May I sell finished boxes made with this design?
Yes. Personal projects and sales of finished physical items you make are permitted. Do not resell, share, give away, sublicense or redistribute the SVG, guide, fold map, modified digital files or digital parts, including in another digital bundle. The included English README contains the usage terms.
