    noted - I see that another user too asks for more technical details so we'll add those on the website directly.

    Bulk work still goes through more traditional channels - like inquiring/quoting etc. The actual limitations are 1500mm x 3000mm ;)

    100% agree with you. It's exactly like that.

    yes - and add the margins that have to be left, I believe it's too complex to be still easy to use. But it's something that's worth exploring.

    We are totally in! Totally irrelevant maybe but SVG is a great file format for this. Food for thought i guess..

    Actually we already provide laser engraving as an option! Bending is something another member mentioned a few minutes ago. This is an option for custom orders but I'm not sure that…

    Maybe a few stencil fonts would do the job but common fonts wouldn't work because of letters like R, P, etc. Noted however, sounds like a cool addition.

    I'm not really sure (have 0 knowledge on lock picks) but if those are flat 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 3 mm thick, then why not?!

    I'd say that yes. I don't think that the christmas post congestion would affect it if ordered soon.

    Really, you are hired! There is a massive CNC bender at the shop (for custom orders). Do you think we should "onlinify" it too? (is that even a word?)

    additionally, I personally believe that what you say is absolutely correct. From a manufacturer's point of view, costs can be low. It's demand + optimisation that keeps them low.

    In fact, there is a media query checking for this and changing the font weight to 300. Actually it makes it 100 for retina screens. It's tested and works in several devices - let's…
