The nameplates needed to be able to set arbitrary text in all four corners, a line of text in the middle and also drill two screw mounting holes.

There were over 250 nameplates which needed to be suitably processed - each with five items of distinct and variable length text. These nameplates are the white text on black background labels similar to the type seen at botanical gardens identifying plants.
