Here's a great example of marrying efficient production methods with a nice-looking and fully functional design. Snag a set in a black or brushed nickel finish, punch out at will -- just don't mess up! Matt Carr's Numbra house number system for Umbra gives your house a digit-lift for a thrifty $11.00.

I can picture the whole street with "88"s.
It's meant to be inviting just as bubble-wrap, isn't it?

Instead of popping it out, the "holes" should just flip around to expose a darker back. That way there's no waste. And if the person wanted to, they could take the numbers if they moved, and use them for a different address.
