About The Custom Stencil Stickers
Are you an artistic person? Whether you are or aren’t, using custom stencils allows you to create creative and artistic art easily and quickly. They are a great way to paint custom lettering, floral designs, logos and symbols, or whatever else that you desire. Often used for events, store and shop décor, or even equipment and personal property. Whatever the case may be, stencils are a creative way to add an artistic look to just about anything.
For your next project, stencil stickers are the way to go. If you’ve ever used stencils in the past, you probably know how difficult they can be to get right. Many people, when using custom stencils, will try taping the stencil down or commissioning a friend to hold the stencil in place while they paint. This can be extremely cumbersome and difficult – especially if you’re using the stencil on a vertical surface. There’s no need for all that hassle with our custom stencil stickers.
Using our stencil stickers you can simply upload your stencil design and we’ll create an easy-to-use stencil sticker that can adhere to most surfaces. This negates having to continually hold the stencil in place throughout the entire process, making it easier and quicker. Our stencil stickers use a low-tack, water-based adhesive that is easy to apply and easy to remove. They’re made with semi-transparent vinyl material so they’re easy to place in the right spot every time.

What kind of material are stencil stickers made from?
Our stencil vinyl is a 3.0 mil thick translucent vinyl designed specifically for paint and spray mask applications. It uses a light adhesive that sticks securely to flat surfaces during painting but removes cleanly once the job is done.
How is stencil vinyl used?
Stencil decals are used to create custom paint masks for signs, walls, art projects, and DIY crafts. Designs are cut from the vinyl, applied to a flat surface, and then painted over. Once the paint is dry, the stencil is removed—leaving behind clean, crisp lines.
Is stencil vinyl reusable?
No, stencil vinyl is designed for one-time, short-term use. It’s made to adhere securely during painting and then peel off cleanly, making it ideal for single-use projects where precision matters.
Can stencil decals be used on curved or textured surfaces?
Stencil vinyl is best used on flat, smooth surfaces. Because of its light adhesive and low stretchability, it may not conform well to highly textured or curved surfaces.
Do stencil transfer decals have a background?
No, stencil stickers made with this material are cut from a single sheet of vinyl and applied using transfer tape. Only the design is applied, with no background—just clean, painted lines once removed.
What makes stencil vinyl different from regular vinyl?
Unlike standard or permanent vinyls, stencil vinyl uses a removable light adhesive and a translucent film for easy alignment. It’s specifically engineered to act as a paint mask rather than a long-term decal.
How are “picks” counted on a transfer decal?
“Picks” refer to the small pieces of vinyl that must be removed from inside a design during production, such as the centers of letters like “O,” “P,” or “A.”
After cutting, these sections are removed by hand in a process called weeding. Designs with more picks require additional time and precision, especially for detailed lettering or intricate artwork.
This process ensures clean edges and a professional, background-free appearance once applied.
What is transfer tape and how does it work?
Transfer tape is a clear application film that holds your decal together during installation. It keeps letters and design elements aligned so you can position the decal accurately.
Once the decal is applied to the surface, the transfer tape is removed, leaving only the vinyl design behind.
