A real custom order should not be the first time a maker checks placement. A simple card test gives the operator a low-pressure way to confirm the artwork position, the orientation of the blank, and the note-taking habit before a finished piece is involved.
For AntBelt G1, this kind of test fits the compact desktop workflow: place one inexpensive blank, preview the layout, run a careful sample, and keep the result beside the job note. The point is not to promise that every material will behave the same way. The point is to make the next decision visible.
The card should carry only the information needed for review: file name, material description, date, and what changed from the last test. If the result is useful, photograph it with the blank still near the work area so the setup remains understandable later.
This habit also helps backers read the AntBelt update archive with clearer expectations. A sample is strongest when it shows the question it was meant to answer, not when it is treated as a broad material guarantee.
