Stencils Cut


I am so happy with the way that the final stencils have come out. It was completely worth the amount of time we dedicated to designing the symbols and making sure that they look great and are designed so that they cut well. The final stencils have rounded corners and a hole in the top right corner so that they can be hung to store. Nathan has sprayed the surface of the plastic with a spray that gives acrylic a slightly frosted finish. This means that when the stencils are handled a lot, they will not show finger marks. Also, the etching at the bottom of the stencil is on the reverse of the plastic. We decided after experimentation that it looks best when the writing shows through the plastic. It is more subtle and sophisticated than an etch on the front side of the stencil.
