Sign Customiser’s cut-to-shape backboard has received a major rendering upgrade. Backboards now merge together into a single piece instead of overlapping, the shape hugs much more tightly around your text and logos, and visual artifacts have been significantly reduced. The result is a preview that closely matches what your customers will receive in real life.

## What’s Changed

- **Merged backboards** - Cut-to-shape backboards now combine with adjacent backboards into one unified piece, just like they would be manufactured in real life, rather than awkwardly overlapping
- **Tighter shape wrapping** - The backboard outline now follows the contours of your letters and shapes much more closely, giving a realistic cut-to-shape appearance
- **Reduced visual artifacts** - Rendering glitches and edge artifacts have been cleaned up for a smoother, more polished preview
