These would do, if you provide a version with editable text. The deluxe solution would be to just ask for the name/data and generate a matching SVG ... too bad there's no infrastructure in place to do that online. Oh, and I noticed that the big Circle of Friends in the background is somehow distorted.

How is the cutting usually handled, especially for a custom shape? In case someone does it manually, perhaps for a low volume printed at home, shouldn't there be crop marks?
