After manufacturing thousands of custom stencils for industrial customers, we noticed a common problem.
Many stencil applications required the operator to repeatedly position, tape, spray, remove, and reposition the stencil hundreds of times throughout a project.
The stencil itself wasn't the problem—the workflow was.
GRIPNMARK™ was developed to solve that problem.
The ergonomic handle design allows operators to quickly place, spray, lift, and move with one hand while spraying with the other. The result is a stencil specifically designed for repetitive industrial marking where speed, durability, and ease of use matter.
Whether you're marking firewalls, pallets, shipping crates, warehouse floors, equipment, assets, or construction materials, GRIPNMARK™ helps reduce labor while increasing productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many lines of text can this stencil accommodate?
The GRIPNMARK™ Standard accommodates up to 2 lines of custom text within the 16" x 5" text area. If you need additional lines, larger text, logos, or custom layouts, contact us for a custom design.
Is GRIPNMARK™ really faster than a traditional stencil?
Yes. In our side-by-side testing, a standard firewall marking took just 7 seconds using a GRIPNMARK™ stencil compared to 49 seconds using a taped Mylar stencil. The integrated handle design eliminates much of the positioning and taping time required by traditional stencil methods.
Can I add a logo or graphic to my stencil?
Yes. We can incorporate company logos, directional arrows, symbols, equipment identifiers, and other custom graphics into your stencil design. Contact us for a free mock-up.
What is the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel?
18 gauge cold rolled steel is an economical choice for indoor and dry environments. 20 gauge stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and is recommended for outdoor use, pressure washing applications, humid environments, and marine settings.
Will the stencil rust?
Cold rolled steel may develop surface rust if exposed to moisture or stored outdoors. Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it the preferred choice for demanding environments.
What type of paint can I use?
GRIPNMARK™ stencils work well with most aerosol spray paints, marking paints, industrial coatings, and pressure washing marking applications. The best paint choice depends on your surface and application requirements.
How long will a steel stencil last?
With proper care, a steel stencil can last for thousands of marking cycles. Steel stencils are significantly more durable than cardboard, paper, or plastic alternatives and are designed for long-term industrial use.
Is the handle removable?
No. The handle is permanently integrated into the stencil design to provide maximum strength, durability, and ease of use during repetitive marking operations.
Can the stencil be used on floors and walls?
Yes. GRIPNMARK™ stencils are commonly used on warehouse floors, concrete surfaces, walls, firewalls, pallets, crates, equipment, and other industrial surfaces.
Do I need tape or magnets to hold the stencil in place?
In most applications, no. The ergonomic handle allows operators to hold and position the stencil with one hand while spraying with the other, eliminating the need for tape or magnets in many marking situations.
Which GRIPNMARK™ size should I choose?
Choose the GRIPNMARK™ Mini for compact single-line asset marking, the GRIPNMARK™ Standard for most industrial marking applications, and the GRIPNMARK™ Double for larger floor markings, shipping crates, pallets, containers, and ground marking applications.
Are these stencils made in the USA?
Yes. Every GRIPNMARK™ stencil is custom manufactured in the USA by Custom Cutouts.
