Custom nameplate

Dream up your own nameplate. We'll cut it.

Make a design in ChatGPT, sketch it on paper, or send a photo of something you love. WhatsApp it to us with the size you want, and we'll make that exact piece for your door.

How it works

Four steps, and nothing is cut until you say yes.

  1. Make your design

    Use ChatGPT, any AI image app, a hand sketch, or a photo of a pattern you like. Copy our prompt below to get started.

  2. WhatsApp it to us

    Send the image, the name and second line exactly as you want them, and the size. Not sure of the size? Send a photo of your door.

  3. Get a drawing and a price

    Within a day we send a cut-ready drawing made from your idea, with the materials and the price. Changes are free until you approve.

  4. We cut, finish and ship

    Cut and finished by hand in our Mumbai workshop, packed in layers, and on its way in 3 to 5 days after you approve.

A prompt that gives us something we can cut

Laser-cut nameplates are made of flat layers. A design with bold shapes, clear outlines and two or three colours turns into a nameplate much more faithfully than a photo-like picture. Change the words in capitals, then paste it into ChatGPT.

Design a front-door nameplate for a home in India, shown flat and straight on, on a plain wall.
Name on the plate: "YOUR NAME"
Second line (optional): "FLAT NO. OR HOUSE NAME"
Script: ENGLISH / HINDI / TAMIL / MALAYALAM / URDU / OTHER
Shape and size: RECTANGLE / ARCH / ROUND, about WIDTH x HEIGHT inches
Style: inspired by INDIAN ART STYLE, e.g. jaali, temple carving, kolam, Mughal flowers, Kerala lamps
Make it look like a layered laser-cut piece: 2 or 3 flat layers, bold clean outlines, no tiny details, no gradients or shadows inside the design.
Colours from: teak wood, red oxide, ivory, sage green, black, gold mirror, silver mirror.

What to send us

On WhatsApp, please include

  • Your design image (or a sketch or photo)
  • The name and second line, spelled exactly as you want them
  • The size in inches or cm, or a photo of your door with a tape measure
  • Colours you prefer, if different from the image
  • Your city and pin code, for delivery

Good to know

We redraw every design by hand so it cuts cleanly, which means very fine details may be simplified. We'll always show you the drawing first. Popular sizes are 12 × 6 in for flat doors and 14 × 10 in for bungalow gates, and we can go up to 24 in wide.

We can't copy another brand's design or a trademarked logo, but anything you've imagined yourself, we'd love to make.

WhatsApp your design
