Free postal worker SVG files

Plain on purpose

Every postal service guards its emblem, its colours and often the shape of its vehicles, so nothing here copies one. The truck is a plain delivery van seen from the front, the cap carries an envelope where a badge would go, and the emblem is a winged envelope that belongs to nobody. Nothing has wording on it either, so you can add a name, a route number or a thank you in your cutting software.

The envelopes on the truck, the cap and the mailbag are cut as a clear rectangle with the flap left standing across it. That flap is a solid line about 2 mm wide when the design is 100 mm across, which is the finest part of those designs, so cut them at 70 mm or more. The winged envelope, the cardboard box and the blank postcard have only cut lines in a solid shape and go smaller.

Stamps, postmarks and wavy lines

The stamp has a perforated edge made of small half circles about 7 mm across at 100 mm wide. They weed easily, but in thick card they can tear, so press the stamp down before lifting the waste. The wavy cancel lines on the stamp and the postmark are solid strokes between 2 and 3 mm wide at 100 mm and are joined at one end only: weed them last, and peel the transfer tape back along the lines.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
