Stencils & Stencil Sets

Stencils and Stencil Sets for Australian Industrial Marking and Identification

Stencils are the reusable templates used for applying letters, numbers, symbols, and standard markings to industrial equipment, packaging, vehicles, and signage. For Australian workshops marking pallets, asset numbers, hazard warnings, or standard identification, the right stencil set produces consistent, legible, professional-looking marking faster and more reliably than freehand marking. AIMS Industrial supplies stencils and stencil sets in the formats Australian trade and industrial customers actually use.

The stencil types we stock

• Letter stencils (A-Z) — alphabet sets in various sizes for general marking
• Number stencils (0-9) — numeric sets for asset numbering, dating, and quantity marking
• Combined letter and number sets — full alphanumeric sets in matching style and size
• Standard symbol stencils — hazard warnings, fragile, this-way-up, and similar standard markings
• Custom stencils — for specific company markings, asset codes, and one-off applications
• Reusable plastic and metal stencils — for repeated use over years
• Adhesive paper stencils — for one-off or low-volume marking

Where stencils earn their place

• Asset and equipment marking — applying asset numbers, identification codes, ownership marks
• Pallet and packaging marking — applying customer codes, batch numbers, hazard warnings
• Vehicle and trailer marking — fleet numbers, ownership identification, regulatory markings
• Floor marking and warehouse organisation — applying floor letters and numbers for picking systems
• Construction site and infrastructure — marking concrete, formwork, and structural components

Stencil sizes — common ranges

• Small stencils (12-25mm characters) — for asset tags, equipment marking, packaging
• Medium stencils (50-75mm characters) — for pallet marking, vehicle ID, signage
• Large stencils (100-150mm characters) — for floor marking, large-scale identification
• Very large stencils (200mm+ characters) — for warehouse aisle marking, parking spaces

Materials and reusability

• Mylar (polyester) stencils — flexible, reusable, easy to clean; the everyday choice
• Vinyl stencils — flexible and economical; suit medium-volume use
• Metal stencils (brass, steel) — durable for sustained heavy use; common in industrial production
• Adhesive paper — single-use; suits one-off marking work

Application — paint, spray, and inkjet

Stencils work with various marking methods: aerosol marking paint (the everyday choice for outdoor and large-format marking), brush-applied stencil ink (for fine work), inkjet marking (for production line use with industrial inkjet equipment), and roller application for adhesive surfaces. Match the marking method to the stencil material — aerosol overspray on paper stencils ruins them quickly; mylar handles aerosol cleanly across hundreds of marking cycles.
