Custom Layered Stencils -

After payment for a custom stencil, you will receive an email with a proof. The proof will show you a preview of what your stencil will look like. This is where you can let us know if there are any changes you would like to make to the design. If you like the design we send you, great! You can approve it right away and we’ll get started on the fulfillment process. If not, you can reject the proof and we’ll work with you to make exactly what you need.

Once your stencil proof has been approved, it gets immediately sent to our laser cutters for production and fulfillment. Your stencil will be made of 14 mil mylar plastic, which is about as thick as 4-6 sheets of paper. Our mylar is a milky white color and is slightly transparent. This material is flexible and durable, and it can be reused over and over again. Visit our Help Center for information about how to clean and store your stencils.

For mylar stencils, we recommend using spray paint or a liquid paint such as wall paint or acrylic. When using spray paint, hold the can 10-15 inches away from your painting surface and spray in short bursts. This will help create an even coat of paint. Avoid using too much paint at once, or you can risk paint bleed along the edges of the design.
