the process
How an engraving is made
step two
Cut it to suit, then hang it.
Set the lines, the labels and the order until the plate reads the way you talk. Then hand out the one URL: a bio, a README, a sentence said out loud. Change the card later and every place it hangs changes with it.
step three
Add a seal, or a skin.
31 hand-mixed ANSI skins and 60 engraver's seals. Buy it once. Stamp every card you make. Limited drops rotate out and are not struck again.
the sample case
Whatever your trade, the plate fits it.
Same file, same one line to hand out. Only the lettering and the colourway change.
the after-hours card
Drop a link, not a friend code.
One URL in any bio, any lobby, any stream chat. The card carries every handle and every platform.

Free to use on any card, even on the free tier. The sponsor may leave, but the seals don't.
the extended plate
Long values, struck below the plate
A key or an address is too long for a line, so the extended plate hangs it underneath instead of cutting it off. Flush left, no border, nothing to clean up after a copy. Click the card.
Linus Torvalds
An extended card. Every value is listed here in full; the card below is the same card, drawn, and can be unfolded to show the long values in place.
