(Why extra charge for logos and artwork?)

Why do logos and art cost a little more?

Turning artwork or logos into a stencil ready format takes a lot of time, but our talented graphic designers process hundreds every month

This process does take time to add bridges, make sure elements are not too small to work, modifying various elements or intricacies as needed. Most art requires 30 minutes to 3 hours to go over and ensure it cuts properly so your stencil will work well for you.

Will it cost more than this?

Most art or logos work fine with the standard Art Stencil Make Ready Cost.

Some will require more time from our graphic designers, and if this is the case for your logo, we will email you prior to charging you for your order, giving you the chance to approve the additional charges or change your art.

Please send us the high quality file you have - vector files are preferred

If you have multiple art files you want to send us so we can pick which one might work best for your stencil, please just email the rest in reply to your order confirmation email after you place your order.

Preferred file types are

  • .EPS, .AI, .PDF, .CDR, .SVG
  • High resolution .jpg, .tif, .png, .gif also usually work

Built from precision-cut metal, each stencil is made to order and satisfaction is guaranteed.

METAL WARPING

Metal naturally responds to stress during the cutting process, which can occasionally result in slight bending or warping, especially if a large amount of material is taken out (for painting). While most stencils stay flat and functional, it’s possible for larger pieces to develop a curve even without cutting.

In most cases, a minor bend won't affect usability. It can usually be bent back to flat by hand, or if slight warp persists causing underbleed, a little pressure pushing on stencil while painting usually eliminates any issues.

If issues persist, contact us and we'll work directly with you to get you what you need.

FAQs

Can the metal stencil have a magnetic backing, and how can I keep it in place on a vertical surface?
Our metal stencils do not come with a magnetic backing, however there are effective ways to keep them secure on vertical surfaces. 

For heavier or larger stencils, we recommend using strong rare-earth magnets if you're working on a magnetic surface like steel. Put the magnets along bottom for stencil to rest on, then appy tape to top corners to hold in place. The amount and size of magnets depends on size and weight of stencil.

On non-magnetic surfaces, painter’s tape, temporary spray adhesive (like repositionable stencil spray), or clamps can help hold the stencil flat and steady during use. However larger, heaver stencils will require more adhesion.

Some customers also use low-tack adhesive putty or suction hooks, depending on the application surface. Keep in mind anything you place behind the stencil (between surface to be painted and stencil) will raise stencil off the surface, allowing for underspray.

What type of metal is used for your stencils, and how thick are they?
Our metal stencils are typically made from 16- or 18-gauge stainless steel, depending on your application needs. This corresponds to approximately 1/16" to 3/64" thick (or 0.063" to 0.048", equivalent to 1.6mm to 1.2mm). This thickness provides excellent rigidity and long-term durability, making them ideal for industrial use, repeated applications, and demanding environments.
Can I fully customize the design on my metal stencil, and what options are available?
Yes, you can fully customize your stencil with text, logos, symbols, or number sequences. We use precision cutting for clean, detailed designs. Most customers upload vector files (.AI, .EPS, or .SVG), but we can also convert other formats or use your text.
How durable are metal stencils compared to Mylar or magnetic stencils?
Metal stencils are the most durable option - they resist bending, tearing, and paint buildup. They're ideal for repetitive use, outdoor conditions, or industrial settings where other stencil materials might fail. 
Can I use metal stencils for spray paint, etching, or engraving?
Yes, metal stencils are great for spray painting, airbrushing, roll-on paint, and even chemical etching applications. Their rigid form and heat resistance also make them suitable for powder coating and sandblasting masks.
Will the stencil lay flat on uneven or curved surfaces?
No, metal stencils made from 16- or 18-gauge steel are rigid and will not bend to fit curved or uneven surfaces. They're best used on flat, stable surfaces where a clean, crisp mark is needed. For rounded or irregular surfaces, we recommend using custom cut Mylar film stencils, which offer greater flexibility while still providing sharp edges for painting or marking.
How do I clean and maintain my metal stencil after use?
To clean, simply wipe off paint or ink residue with a cloth or solvent like mineral spirits or acetone. Avoid letting paint dry on the stencil, and store flat or hanging to prevent bending. Soaking/spraying with solvent can help on dried paint. With proper care, metal stencils can be reused hundreds of times.
Do you offer bulk pricing for large stencil orders or corporate branding projects?
Yes, we offer volume discounts for bulk stencil orders. Whether you're outfitting a manufacturing line or creating branded packaging for an event, our custom metal stencils are a reliable, reusable solution for high-volume use.
