Stencil
A stencil is a thin sheet with a pattern cut into it, used to create an image on a surface below by applying ink, paint, spray, or other medium through the cut openings.
Material:
- Paper: Commonly used for temporary or single-use stencils, particularly for crafts.
- Cardstock: A heavier paper stock offering more durability for repeated use.
- Mylar: A polyester film known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to solvents, making it ideal for professional applications.
- Metal: Typically stainless steel, used for intricate designs and high-volume production due to its longevity and precision.
- Plastic: Offers a balance between durability and cost-effectiveness.
Purpose:
- Decoration: Applying patterns and designs to walls, furniture, fabrics, and other surfaces.

- Signage & Labeling: Producing consistent lettering and graphics for industrial or commercial purposes.
- Crafting: Used in various DIY projects, including scrapbooking, card making, and mixed media art.

Function:
A stencil functions as a mask. The areas cut out allow the medium (paint, ink, etc.) to pass through and deposit onto the surface below, creating the desired image. The remaining material blocks the medium, preventing it from reaching those areas.
