Up Arrow Text Stencil

Up Arrow Text Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

There are often designated places to put certain materials. Whether these materials are hazardous to people's health and wellbeing or they simply need to be put in the right place, signs are critical to ensuring the right material goes in the right receptacle. This is precisely why we created our up arrow text stencil. This stencil design perfectly depicts the standard industrial stencil symbol and it makes it easy for you to paint it anywhere you need it. Instead of paying for pre-painted bins, containers, and signage, just paint the symbol on existing surfaces yourself. Plastic, metal, wood – it doesn't matter. As long as you have the right paint for the medium, you can paint this symbol on any surface imaginable. You can even paint it right onto a wall or window. This versatility allows you to paint on walls outside of rooms. You can paint on a metal or wood door. You can paint on a metal bin or plastic sign. You can even paint on paper to create temporary signage or make t-shirts that make a statement. Even concrete is fair game for this stencil design. Plus, you can paint this symbol in various sizes. We laser-cut it in a range of sizes to suit your needs. And since each stencil is inexpensive, you can easily get more than one size without breaking the bank. And no, this DIY project won't suck up a lot of your time. Just secure the stencil and apply the paint with a brush, roller, or spray. Then remove the stencil for a perfect image, wash it, and store it away for another day or pass it on to someone else who needs it.

Here are some advantages of using Mylar stencil material:

• FLEXIBLE: Mylar can wrap around cylinders and uneven or irregular surfaces, and can be rolled for shipping and storage.
• EASY TO CLEAN: Our Mylar is solvent proof, so cleaning up paint or ink is quick and simple.
• REUSABLE: Our stencils are built to withstand normal painting wear and tear, and keeping your stencil template clean is the best way to ensure a longer life.
• DURABLE: Mylar sheets are reputably the strongest type of stencil material, and maintains durability without compromising the pliable structure.

WHY DO WE RECOMMEND MYLAR?

As mentioned before, the best way to achieve a perfectly painted stencil with a very nice paint edge is to use a stencil material that is as thin as possible for your project. At the same time, you also want a material that wont absorb paint or any liquid because this will cause the stencil to deteriorate. A stencil made from paper, cardstock or paperboard will become saturated with paint or ink rather quickly, and this causes a crusty, uneven edge that can never be removed.

Another option for stencils, and one that quickly comes to mind when we discuss durability, is metal stencils. While these thick, unbendable stencils do have their place for some industrial applications where paint overspray and running doesnt quite matter as much, they can be very expensive and heavy to ship.

There are some other plastics that are used for stencil manufacturing, but these are typically cut with a die cutter so there is a limited amount of detail that can be achieved. And because this older, traditional process takes so much work and expense to set up for each stencil design, the minimum are often in the 1000s.
