## Choose the production geometry first
The three active products solve different file-structure problems: scalable vector geometry, a periodic square repeat, or a fixed blank-shaped raster canvas. Choose the geometry and proof burden before comparing decorative labels.
## Compare the exact active products
The [twenty-design Retro Summer SVG bundle](/products/28-retro-summer-icons-svg-cut-file-bundle-20-sunny-designs) is $5.99, the [twelve-design Retro Fruit pattern pack](/products/37-retro-fruit-seamless-pattern-pack-12-digital-tiles) is $6.99, and the [six-design Bold Bloom wrap bundle](/products/76-bold-bloom-floral-affirmation-tumbler-wrap-bundle-6-png-designs) is $4.97. Prices and availability can change.
## Verify the vector archive
The approved vector delivery has one ZIP and one illustrated guide PDF. The sixty-two-entry ZIP contains twenty SVG, twenty DXF, twenty PNG counterparts, one README, and one preview catalog PDF.
## Verify vector structure
All twenty inspected SVG sources use a 0 0 1000 1000 viewBox. The approved manifest records twenty vector designs, closed geometry, zero duplicate cut lines, and no package warnings.
## Verify the repeat archive
The approved repeat delivery uses three ZIP archives plus one illustrated guide. Across the archives are twelve 1200×1200 seamless PNG tiles, twelve paired 3600×3600 JPG papers, and a preview PDF.
## Read repeat evidence narrowly
The manifest records periodic tile construction, twelve checked seam boundaries, and no package warnings. Those facts describe the approved source tiles; every transformed export still needs its own edge proof.
## Verify the fixed-wrap archive
The approved wrap delivery has one ZIP and one illustrated guide. The ZIP contains six 3300×1275 mug PNGs, six 2790×2460 tumbler PNGs, and one README: thirteen entries for six design families.
## Read raster metadata
The repeat PNG and JPG files are RGB without alpha; the paired JPG papers record 300 DPI. The wrap PNGs are also RGB without alpha and record approximately 300-DPI metadata.
## Separate design count from file count
Twenty vector designs create sixty editable or raster counterparts, twelve repeat designs create twenty-four image files, and six wrap designs create twelve prepared canvases. Supporting guides, catalogs, and READMEs are not extra designs.
## Match the workflow to the file
Use SVG or DXF when the task depends on editable path geometry, a repeat tile when a surface must extend beyond one square, and a prepared wrap when the actual blank and template match a fixed raster canvas after proofing.
## Inspect the vector path burden
Count graphic elements and coordinate complexity in a simple, median, and dense SVG. Inspect counters, small islands, narrow bridges, minimum gaps, and overlapping geometry at the intended physical size.
## Inspect counterpart identity
Match all twenty filename stems across SVG, DXF, and PNG. Import representative SVG and DXF copies independently; an extension match does not prove identical units, grouping, or display in every program.
## Inspect repeat-edge continuity
Build a 3×3 grid from one untouched 1200-pixel tile. Inspect every vertical and horizontal join at 100 percent, then repeat after the intended scale, interpolation, crop, and export settings.
## Inspect motif scale
Measure the smallest visible motif and narrowest quiet gap in one source tile. Repeat at the planned output scale and confirm that adjacent motifs remain distinct without claiming a universal output result.
## Inspect the fixed canvas
Compare the 3300×1275 and 2790×2460 canvases with the current manufacturer template for the exact physical blank. Check printable width, height, taper, handle clearance, top and bottom margins, and overlap.
## Map the seam
Mark the uncertain overlap and crop zone before adding any content. Keep essential motifs and text away from the seam until a representative proof establishes the visible region for that blank and setup.
## Compare crop behavior
Duplicate the source, apply the intended crop once, and record which vector features, repeat motifs, or wrap edges move outside the retained area. Correct only one variable before exporting again.
## Compare scaling behavior
Vectors lack a fixed pixel grid but still face physical feature limits. Tiles and wraps have fixed pixels. Record the requested dimensions and effective pixel density instead of treating file type as a compatibility guarantee.
## Proof a representative vector
Choose one simple, one median, and one dense design. Import, size, inspect, and test using the exact authorized software, machine, tool, and material workflow while following current manufacturer instructions.
## Proof a representative repeat
Test a pale, dark, sparse, dense, edge-active, and quiet tile. Recheck joins, motif scale, crop, overlay contrast, and export settings after every transformation.
## Proof a representative wrap
Test one phrase-heavy and one edge-active wrap on a rights-cleared proof route. Confirm text order, orientation, seam placement, crop, and blank geometry without promising fit, color, durability, or safety.
## Keep customer and preview files separate
Customer ZIPs, guides, SVGs, DXFs, PNGs, JPGs, READMEs, and catalogs are delivery evidence. Machines, mats, paper, blanks, presses, finished objects, rooms, props, and lifestyle scenes are previews requiring mockup disclosure.
## Confirm digital-only delivery
No cutter, blade, mat, vinyl, printer, ink, paper, blank, press, tape, finished craft, frame, or physical product is included.
## Review license boundaries
Review the current license for the intended personal or finished-product use. Do not resell, redistribute, share, upload, or give away source files or lightly modified digital versions.
## Protect privacy
Use placeholders for names, dates, schools, teams, employers, customers, or order details during tests. Limit cloud sharing and remove private content before support uploads.
## Keep safety manufacturer-led
Follow current software, device, cutter, blade, mat, printer, ink, paper, blank, press, electrical, heat, fire, ventilation, cooling, tool, and PPE instructions. Artwork files do not establish material or equipment safety.
## Keep labels descriptive
Retro-summer-like, fruit-like, and floral-like describe visible cues only. They do not establish season, lifestyle, fruit identity, botanical accuracy, culture, era, artist, process, origin, or provenance.
## Reject unsupported outcomes
No file promises compatibility, ease, seamless transformed output, blank fit, material behavior, durability, safety, profit, sales, or results. Outcomes vary with software, transformation, equipment, settings, material, skill, and use.
## Use the vector and raster primer
The [SVG, DXF, and PNG guide](/blog/svg-vs-dxf-vs-png-for-cutting-projects) separates path geometry from fixed pixels.
## Use the tile and paper primer
The [digital paper and seamless pattern guide](/blog/how-to-choose-digital-scrapbook-paper-or-seamless-pattern-files) explains when a tile or finite paper better fits a workflow.
## Compare a related three-way workflow
The [retro-summer SVG, wraps, and tiles guide](/blog/retro-summer-svg-fruit-wraps-seamless-tiles-vector-fixed-canvas-repeat) expands the vector, fixed-canvas, and repeat decision.
## Compare another vector-raster workflow
The [Poolside SVG, floral wrap, and terracotta paper guide](/blog/poolside-svg-floral-wrap-terracotta-paper-cut-path-fixed-canvas-background) adds finite-page background checks.
## Use fixed-wrap and repeat preflight
The [fixed-wrap and seamless-tile preflight](/blog/retro-fruit-fixed-wrap-seamless-tiles-canvas-repeat-output-preflight) expands seam, crop, scaling, and recovery checks.

## Workflow checkpoint: recover
Recover from the untouched source, repeat the documented transformation, and compare against the last approved proof.
## Workflow checkpoint: correct
Correct one variable at a time so the next proof identifies the source of the change.
## Workflow checkpoint: verify identity
Use filenames, counts, hashes when available, and visual inspection to keep each product and counterpart distinct.
