What kind of stencil do you need?

The fastest way to choose is by how you plan to use the characters.

01

Individual Characters

Best when you only need a name, number, short word, or a few replacement characters. Choose each letter or number individually.

02

Complete A–Z Sets

Best for warehouses, contractors and facilities that need the flexibility to create different words over time.

Shop alphabet sets →
03

Complete 0–9 Sets

Ideal for aisle numbers, parking spaces, equipment numbering, storage locations and recurring numeric marking.

Shop number sets →
04

Custom Text Stencils

If you will repeatedly paint the same company name, warning or phrase, one custom stencil is usually faster to align.

Material Selection

Oilboard or Mylar?

Both produce clean industrial markings. The difference is mainly how often you expect to reuse the stencil and how much you want to spend up front.

Lower Upfront Cost

A traditional industrial stencil board that is rigid, easy to position and economical at large sizes.

  • Best for one-time or occasional projects
  • Good rigidity on flat surfaces

Quick Answers

Large stencil FAQ

Should I choose Oilboard or Mylar?

Choose oilboard for the lower-cost option when the job is short-term or occasional. Choose 10 mil Mylar when you expect repeated use and want a washable, flexible stencil.

Can I order only the letters I need?

Yes. The individual-character products let you order only the characters required for your word, number or marking.

When is a full alphabet or number set better?

A full A–Z or 0–9 set makes sense when different markings will be created over time, such as in a warehouse, facility, equipment yard or contractor stencil kit.

What are the sheet sizes?

12" characters are cut on 12" × 18" sheets, 18" characters on 12" × 24" sheets, and 32" characters on 24" × 36" sheets.

Do you make custom text stencils?

Yes. Standard custom text stencil formats include 8" × 12", 12" × 24" and 24" × 36". They are often the better choice when the same full phrase will be painted repeatedly.
