Long life stencils for hundreds of impressions
For long life labels such as logos, product and type designation, batch numbers or decorative markings, we recommend our XL type stencils.
These stencils have an average lifetime of 4,000+ marks when used on semi automatic equipment.
We can manufacture these in a wide range of sizes and formats, including mounted in a plastic frame or formed into a marking cap if required.
Your templates or ideas are implemented as required by our graphic designers in our DTP department. We will always send you a proof prior to manufacture.
We are often able to fulfil your stencil order within one to two business days due to our highly skilled employees who have many years of experience.
Please contact our technical department if you are interested or have any questions: etchmark@ostling.com
