How thick should the joins be?
At least as thick as your material, and thicker for brittle acrylic or thin ply. Cut one test join on scrap first.
Door hangers & name signs
Door hanger names that hold together on the wall
A hanging name carries its own weight, so every join has to be thicker than it looks on screen. WeldWords welds the lettering into one piece, lets you thicken the weak points, adds hanging holes, and sizes the whole sign to the real door or wall space.

What goes wrong with hanging names
A thin join snaps under the weight of the letters
Letters cut apart because they only touched visually
Holes placed where the material is too thin to hold
The sign comes out a different size than the space it was for
Dots and accents left floating off the name

How it works
From typed words to a cut-ready file
Everything stays editable until you export, so one-off fixes never mean starting over.

Common questions
Can I add a backing layer?
Yes, you can grow the silhouette outward for a layered sign and export the layers separately.
Will it fit my wall space?
Enter the finished width you need and the file exports at exactly that size.
