How Do I Create My Own Stencils?

What are Stencils? 

Stencils are a durable, reusable template typically used for precision marking, lettering, and designs on a range of surfaces. Stencils are a fantastic way to add messaging or unique designs to walls, floors, furniture, fabric and craft projects. Whether you want to boost your workplace safety or create intricate art, making your own stencils allows for full creative control. The best part? It’s easier than you might think with New Signs

At New Signs we create our stencils using Aluminium Composite Panel, a lightweight and sturdy material. This material means our stencils offer high resistance to wear, corrosion, and deformation, making them ideal for industrial applications, signage, and craft projects. They maintain sharp, clean edges, ensuring precise and consistent results over repeated uses. Aluminium Composite Stencils are easy to clean, maintain and provide a professional-grade option for repeated, high-quality marking tasks.

We have 4 standard stencils sizes available:

  • 600mm x 450mm
  • 600mm x 600mm
  • 900mm x 600mm
  • 1200mm x 600mm

If you require a different size simply contact our Customer Service Team with your requirements and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements. 

Designing your own Custom Stencil

At New Signs we understand that designing anything can be overwhelming and we have worked tirelessly to ensure our process is so easy you can do it from the comfort of your home or office. 

Simply head to our Custom Aluminium Composite Stencil Page and you have 4 design options available:

Print Ready Artwork: You already have the design and your artwork is ready to print. You can upload or email your artwork through. See our artwork specification guide below: 

Use an existing sign in our range: If you have seen a sign in our range that you would like turned into a stencil you can provide the sign SKU number found at the top of the sign product page. You can also advise of any changes you require and our design team will do the rest. 

Create your own design: Use our online Custom Design Tool to design your own sign or stencil. See our video: How To Use Our Custom Design Tool.

You need help with the design: If you do not have a design bone in your body or would just like to deal with a real person, we understand. Place your order and email us the design details. We will contact you to help put your design together.

Regardless of the design option you choose, you will receive artwork proofs for sign off before we commence printing.
