Here's the outline. I didn't know if you wanted score marks, some people don't like them. The reason it was giving you trouble is because Scal 1 doesn't pick up on dashed lines.

The box as it is here is not going to cut right. I have corrected it but it is for SCAL2 which allows you to cut in layers. With SCAL2, you can cut the outside of the box and then cut the score lines (I turn my blade upside down in the blade holder for score lines), or vice versa.
Using SCAL1, you will have to have the box in two files to cut the outside and the score lines separately.

In the first svg file for carrot box there are also groups that SCAL 1. doesn't like, Needs ungrouped in Inkscape. And at least one line that is not connected, broken line

I ungrouped the lines, but I am still having trouble. I drew in a connecting line but still not right. Thank you everyone for your help. Hopefully I can get this resolved. Bed ridden for the weekend due to surgery.

If you open the box up in Inkscape and color it with any color you can see that the box is white as well as the color you chose. where it is white means there are still lines that are not connected.

I am not very good with Inkscape, actually have nver used it before today. I am not sure what needs to be done. Sorry for being so dumb on this but it is all new to me.
