What a fantastic application for Laser Cutting! Stencils are one of our most popular applications - we cut them for everything from decorating to "Clean Graffiti" - stencils for pressure washing advertising onto dirty pavements. Because laser cutting is so flexible we can work in any material ranging from thin Mylar to rigid Aluminium, so we can always recommend the right solution.
We work with many different customers including Interior Designers, Marketing Companies, Machine Manufacturers and Individuals. We can convert your artwork into a stencil format and we can deliver quickly. We can laser cut large area stencils, or tiny wee things, and we can produce multi-layer stencils so you can use as many colours / textures as you need. The designs can be a simple shape, or a complex image - lasers can cut almost anything you can draw. We save your designs so you can get repeat orders immediately - we really do provide the full service.

A laser cut stencil used for "clean graffiti" - pavements are pressure-washed through the stencil to create a unique and environmentally friendly advertisement. We cut lots of these for different campaigns - the major advantages of our service is we can translate the artwork into the stencil, and we deliver very quickly - these are normally needed next day.
A stencil laser cut in mylar. We cut these for decorators, interior designers and individuals. Mylar is a strong thin plastic, and gives a really crisp cut edge, meaning the stencil works excellently for decorative applications.
An acrylic drawing stencil laser cut and engraved - this was produced as a promotional item, and was actually very useful for designers! Acrylic is great as a hard-wearing transparent stencil material.
We offer a very cost-effective service. Our processes are designed to minimise overhead so you're able to afford a completely unique design at low prices.
We're able to work with most image types to turn your ideas into a finished Laser Cut design - you don't have to have intimate knowledge of CAD design to get the product you want!
We offer a complete service from sourcing the material, through programming the work, to the laser cutting and then delivery - leave it to us to handle the project.
We cut everything from a one-off stencil for an individual to thousands for a high street chain - our service is flexible enough and our capacity sufficient to cope with any size order.
Our Quality System is solid - we use a visual system to let everyone in the production chain know your requirements - we don't rely on a dusty manual stuck on a shelf! We track everything from material source through issue levels to who cut your parts.
We buy the best material and use the best lasers to ensure you get the best quality product; we make your stencil accurate and usable.
We have years of experience of this type of work - ask us for our recommendation with regard to material, size, font - you name it!
Our service is country-wide. Although we're based in Barnsley our main customers are in London, Scotland, Cumbria, Nottingham & Manchester
We deliver - we use a local company to do a same-day service; we use overnight carriers and couriers for next day. Standard delivery is included in our quoted price - you don't get a nasty shock when you receive the invoice.
We're actually really nice people to deal with - we may be great at what we do, but it doesn't go to our heads!
We can't list all our advantages here - the page would be too long! Hopefully the above gives you a flavour. We think we're just about perfect, but then we would wouldn't we! Try us and see what you think - Contact us now...
