Does optimization resize or squash names?
No. Every name keeps the width or height you set; the optimizer only changes placement, order, and permitted rotation.
Laser sheet optimization
Pack more names onto each sheet without changing their size
Arrange connected names and keychains around the usable material area. Let shorter pieces fill open spaces, allow rotation when it helps, or keep every name in one orientation.

One production workflow
From a list to laser-ready sheets
Keep every name editable and correctly sized while WeldWords handles the repetitive layout work.
- 01
Enter the real working area
Start with the 11.8 × 19.7 inch default or type your own material width and height in inches or millimetres.
- 02
Choose the spacing
Set the gap your machine and material need. Optimization will not reduce it below the built-in safe minimum.
- 03
Choose the orientation rule
Keep every name upright, or allow sideways and diagonal placements when they fit the sheet more efficiently.
- 04
Fill as many sheets as needed
Names may change order to use open spaces. If the batch cannot fit on one sheet, WeldWords creates the additional sheet files.
Made for production batches

Common questions
Can all names stay upright?
Yes. Use Keep upright when grain direction, appearance, or production handling matters more than the tightest possible layout.
What happens when the batch needs more material?
Set the sheet height and the overflow moves onto additional numbered sheets, with one SVG downloaded for each sheet.
Build the whole batch in one place.
Paste the names, apply consistent settings, arrange the material, and export.
