Sticker stencils
Using vinyl die cut stickers (decals) for stencils
Using vinyl die cut stickers for stencils is something we get asked for every now and then. They are often used for very interesting projects which we are stoked to be able to help bring to life!
Sticker stencils are an easy and cost effective way to get a custom stencil made, and they work really well for application on smooth surfaces. We can usually turn these around within a couple of working days so there will be no crazy delays to completing your project (which you may find with getting your custom stencil made elsewhere).
Sticker stencils example #1 – for your beloved boat
Paul Mes came to us looking to get his drawing converted into a custom vinyl sticker stencil, so that he could paint it on his boat. We sorted out his artwork, made the stencil, sent it and now the Marauder is seaworthy 👍
Sticker stencils example #2 – for the Nice Blocks cart
The guys from Nice Blocks came to us looking for removable vinyl sticker stencil that would allow them to spray paint their logo on their new cart. We cut them out of masking vinyl, sent them off and the results were epic. Thanks for the business boys, we look forward to eating more of your delicious ice blocks… These guys make really delicious vegan ice blocks and coconut ‘nice creams’. Check them out HERE!
How to apply your sticker stencils
Sticker stencils are super easy to use!
- Simply peel off the backing paper and place your sticker into the desired position.
- Press your sticker firmly into place, ensuring all the air bubbles are removed. We use a squeegee to do this but if you don’t have one try using a credit card, ruler or other object that has a solid edge to it.
- Once firmly in place, peel off the application tape and your sticker will be revealed.
- You are now ready to paint!
- Once the paint is dry you can carefully remove the sticker and the job is done💥!
