Single Use Vinyl Sticker Stencils

Welcome to our latest blog post on ‘SINGLE USE VINYL STICKER STENCILS’

This stencilling solution is especially useful for getting your logo or lettering design painted exactly as it is, without having to edit the design with unwanted connecting areas that are needed for most stencils. One time use vinyl  transfer stencils are transferred onto the surface, you then paint the design , before removing and discarding the stencil. We have had interest in these stencils for people wanting to paint designs on all sorts of surfaces – walls, vehicles, furniture etc

Please see this example of edits that would need making in a standard stencil –

Edits for stenciled lettering 
Reusable stencils need to have edits in the design so that they are stencil friendly but with our one time use vinyl stencils these edits are not needed and designs can be painted exactly as they are.

HOW TO USE YOUR VINYL STENCIL

The stencil is made of 3 parts as shown. The carrier paper which holds the vinyl stencil and the transfer tape is used to transfer the stencil to your surface

vinyl stencil - paint the stencil
Paint your stencil. You can use brushes, dense foam roller or spray paint, depending on the size of your stencil and preferences. As this example is small, I used a brush with acrylic paint.

 

Peel off your vinyl stencil
After painting remove your vinyl stencil. As I have used a rough wooden surface for this example some has transferred to the sticky stencil back…. The vinyl used is commonly used for wall graphics and so is great for any surface and will peel of no problems
