HARUTAKE's nameplate simulator is an online tool that allows customers to freely try out designs and create their ideal nameplate image.

Benefits of using the nameplate simulator
-
Check the actual finished product in real time
-
Freely adjust fonts and layout
-
Design to match the atmosphere of your home
-
Edit later with save and login functions
Using this tool allows you to place an order after visualizing it in a concrete form, not just an image, which greatly reduces the risk of failure.
Basic usage
Step 1: Enter basic information
First, open the simulator and enter your name and text content.
Step 2: Choose font and size
Adjust the font type and text size to check the balance between readability and atmosphere.
Step 3: Fine-tune the layout
Adjust the visual balance, such as whether to center the text or spread it horizontally.
For rectangular or polygonal nameplates, you can also select the orientation of the nameplate.
You can also choose between vertical and horizontal text.
Step 4: Check the finished product
You can check the finished product that closely resembles the actual image, along with the selected wood material and size.
Tips for refining your design
Tip ①: Choose materials that match the background
The impression changes greatly depending on the type of wood.
For example, the deep shade of walnut suits modern homes, while maple or cherry wood might suit brighter homes.
Tip ②: Choose a typeface based on its purpose
-
Emphasize readability → Simple typeface
-
Emphasize design → Typeface with slight curves
Since the nameplate is the first impression of your entrance, it's also important to consider harmony with the entire house.
Tip ③: Place with balance in mind
If the text is too crowded or, conversely, there is too much empty space, it will be unbalanced.
Checking with the simulator and repeatedly fine-tuning is the key to success.
