Stencil Paper and Films


Stencil paper (also called stencil film) is the easiest way to transfer artwork onto engraving or carving surfaces. Made from Mylar or polyester, blank stencil film also can be used to create durable stencils that withstand handling and repeated use. Artists choose acetate film rolls, sheets, and pads for making overhead transparencies, overlays, and stencils. It can also be used for creating animated drawings and for protecting artwork. This strong, transparent plastic is available in rolls, pads, and sheets.


Acetate alternatives include Dura-Lar, which is also archival but more stable than acetate. Dura-Lar Wet media film combines the best features of Mylar and acetate, and accepts paints, pens, airbrushes, and markers without crawling, chipping, or beading. Dura-Lar Clear-Lay is a rigid and flat PVC film that is an alternative to traditional drafting film and comes in a variety of colors.
