• choosing a number of characters corresponding to a number of characters in an address, said characters each having a width and a height, said characters chosen from a set of characters corresponding to characters used in an address, each character in said set of characters having substantially the same width and substantially the same height as each of the other characters in said set of characters;
• choosing from the sets of punch-out holes a desired location on the signboard for each character chosen;
• punching-out the holes of a number of the sets of punch-out holes corresponding to the number of characters chosen and to the desired location of the character(s) on the signboard;
• and
• mounting the number of characters chosen onto the signboard, with each character being mounted using the set of punched-out holes corresponding to its desired location on the signboard.
