Stencil Materials — Choose the Right Option for Your Project
Choosing the right material determines how long your stencil lasts and how well it performs on your surface. Here is a breakdown of every material we work with at Flexrad:
Laser-Cut Acrylic (Perspex) Stencils
Acrylic stencils are rigid, smooth, and ideal for detailed designs that need to hold their shape across repeated uses. They lie flat against surfaces, which gives you clean, sharp spray edges without bleed. Best for: logo stencils, decorative wall patterns, office branding, and any project requiring a precise, professional finish. Reusable for dozens to hundreds of applications.
Flexible PVC Stencils
PVC is our most popular general-purpose material. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and flexible enough to conform to slightly curved or uneven surfaces — making it excellent for spray painting walls, equipment, and textured materials. PVC stencils are reusable, washable, and cost-effective for medium-run applications.
Stainless Steel & Mild-Steel Stencils
For industrial applications that demand longevity, metal stencils are the answer. Stainless steel stencils can withstand thousands of uses without warping or losing definition — ideal for warehouse floor marking, road stencilling, construction site labelling, and manufacturing environments. Mild-steel stencils offer a more affordable alternative for heavy-use projects where stainless grade is not required.
Mylar Film Stencils
Mylar is a thin, tear-resistant polyester film that combines flexibility with durability. It lays flat on surfaces easily, resists moisture and most solvents, and is ideal for detailed artwork and fine lettering. Mylar stencils are a favourite for artists, sign painters, and anyone working with intricate spray patterns.
Brown Paper & Cardboard Templates
For one-time use layouts and large-format sign fitting, brown kraft paper stencils are the practical, affordable choice. We use these extensively for fitting and cutting 3D signs, channel letters, and custom signage — where you need the template once and precision matters more than reusability.
Vinyl & Sandblast Stencils
Adhesive-backed vinyl stencils are designed for single-use applications where you need the stencil to adhere directly to the surface during painting. Sandblast stencils are a specialised variant used for etching designs into glass, stone, and metal through abrasive blasting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Painting Stencils in Nairobi
How much does a custom stencil cost in Nairobi?
Pricing depends on the material, size, and complexity of the design. PVC and brown paper stencils are the most affordable options. Acrylic and metal stencils cost more upfront but save money over time through reuse. Contact us on WhatsApp with your design for an instant quote.
What file format do I need to send for a custom stencil?
Vector formats work best — AI, PDF, DXF, EPS, or CorelDraw CDR. If you only have a JPEG or PNG, send it and we will advise on whether it can be used directly or needs to be redrawn. We also accept WhatsApp photos of sketches for simple text and number stencils.
Can you make a stencil with my company logo?
Yes. Logo stencils are one of our most common orders. Send us your logo file and specify the size and material you need. We will cut it to your exact specifications.
What is the difference between a reusable and a single-use stencil?
Reusable stencils (acrylic, PVC, steel, mylar) are made from durable materials that can be cleaned and used multiple times. Single-use stencils (vinyl, brown paper) are designed for one application and are typically cheaper for projects where you only need to mark something once.

Most orders are ready within 24–48 hours. Simple text or number stencils can sometimes be completed same day. Complex designs or large quantities may take up to 3 working days. We will confirm your turnaround time when you place your order.
