Sablonok

Sablonok are reusable guides used to reproduce a design, shape, or layout across multiple items. The term is Hungarian and translates roughly as templates or stencils; sablonok can refer to both physical tools and digital artifacts.

Physical sablonok are tangible shapes or cutouts used to transfer patterns onto surfaces. They are common in painting, sign-making, textile printing, and manufacturing where consistency is important. A stencil or template is placed on a work surface and ink, paint, or material is applied over it to reproduce the design.

Digital sablonok include preformatted documents, layouts, and code structures. In offices, document templates for letters, reports, or invoices help maintain branding and efficiency. In graphic design and publishing, layout templates define page size, margins, and typography. Web and software development use HTML/CSS templates, CMS themes, and project scaffolds or boilerplate code to speed production.

Advantages of sablonok include speed, uniformity, and easier collaboration. They also help ensure brand consistency and reduce errors. Limitations include the need for customization to avoid repetitive outcomes and licensing or copyright restrictions for digital templates. In some contexts, overreliance on templates can hinder originality.
