Sign Customiser now gives each newly generated Shopify product a product type that matches its sign category. This makes it easier to build collections, shipping rules and other Shopify automations for different kinds of signs.

## What’s Changed

- **Product types now match the sign**New acrylic, metal, stencil, wooden, aluminium, braille, wood-frame and lightbox products receive their own clear product type.
- **Neon remains familiar**New neon products keep the existing `Custom Neon` product type, so established neon workflows continue to work.
- **Existing products stay unchanged**The new product types apply when Sign Customiser creates a product. Products already in Shopify are not renamed.
