What we do, and how

Stencils are reusable cutout templates. We cut them from oil board (heavy-duty stencil paper), mylar (waterproof plastic film), and cardstock (lighter, often single-use). Used for murals, spray-paint art, industrial part marking, food and cake decoration, and any project where the same shape needs to be repeated cleanly.

Bridges between cutout shapes are designed in to keep the stencil intact. We can review your file and flag missing bridges before cutting.

Common questions

What stencil material should I use?

Mylar for outdoor/wet/food. Oil board for indoor repeat use. Cardstock for one-time.

How small can the cutout details be?

It depends on the material and design. Very fine details can be hard to keep intact — bridges between cutouts can collapse if too small. We'll review your file and flag concerns.

Do I need to design the bridges?

For floating shapes (like the inside of an "O"), yes — the bridges keep the stencil from falling apart. We can review your file and flag missing bridges before cutting.

What size stencils can you cut?

Up to 46 by 58 inches in a single piece. Larger murals can be tiled across multiple sheets.

What file format do you need?

AI, DXF, or PDF — vector files only. Convert text to outlines.
