Researching Stencil Suppliers
There are many different kinds of stencils, so when deciding that you want to stencil something, it is important that you choose the correct type of stencil for the materials you will be using. Sandblast stencils are made of thick and durable rubber backing which is made to protect the stone on which you will be stenciling when working with this type of delicate material. Other types of stencils can be made from metal or plastic.
When looking for stencil suppliers, you should first consider the type of stenciling that you will be doing. Will you be stenciling into delicate materials, and in search of sandblasting stencils? If that is the case, you should be sure to locate a stencil supplier that can manufacture this particular type of stencil. Another question to ask yourself when looking for a supplier is whether you need the stencil to be customized. If there is a particular phrase, name or logo that you want to stencil, you will need to find a supplier that can make custom stencils to order. However, if you just want a standard stencil, you will be able to find one of these more easily.
A final question to ask is how many times will you use the stencil? If you will only be using it once or twice, you probably don’t want to spend a lot of money on it, while on the other hand, if it is something you will use a lot, you may want to consider getting something of higher quality and durability that will last.
