Laser-cut stencils — spray, screen printing and welding stencils to measure, precise and reusable.

For cafés, restaurants, screen printers and industrial use, the focus is on custom stencils and masks that can be produced without stamping tools, with clean contours and from a single piece. CAESS Laser cuts stencils from mylar, acrylic, plastic and cardboard precisely from logos, drawings or CAD files — reusable, dimensionally stable and immediately ready for use.

Stencils that work — cleanly cut, immediately usable

The key is the difference between a hand-cut or stamped stencil and a precise laser cut — in contour accuracy, repeatability and service life. The CO2 laser produces clean, burr-free cut edges even for fine webs, tight radii and complex logo shapes — from the first piece without tooling lead time.

Catering & Branding

Latte art, cocoa designs and brand staging in cafés and restaurants

Cafés and restaurants use stencils as a direct brand tool — the company logo in the milk foam, a seasonal motif on the dessert, a lettering on the menu board by spray chalk. Stencils from mylar or thin acrylic are washable, hygienic and permanently reusable with careful handling.

Screen printing & Textiles

Masks and stencils for colour application, screen printing and textile marking

In screen printing, textile labelling and manual colour application, stencils need dimensional accuracy and robustness simultaneously. Mylar stencils up to 0.25 mm thickness can be cleanly tensioned, take solvent-based paints and remain dimensionally stable. Complex multi-colour motifs are supplied as individual stencils per colour separation.

Industry & Welding

Positioning stencils, welding masks and marking aids for production

In industrial production, stencils reproducibly position components, guide welds, protect surfaces during spray painting and identify storage and transport areas with spray paint. Stencils from rigid plastic or acrylic are dimensionally stable enough for precise repetition — and tool-free in any geometry.

What matters technically in this application

Motif optimisation before cutting

Not every logo can be implemented 1:1 as a stencil. Closed surfaces — for example the inside of an O or a circle — fall out without bridges. CAESS Laser checks the motif in advance and suggests technically sensible adjustments that maintain legibility and make the stencil usable.

Material choice determines service life and application context

Cardboard is economical for single-use masks and short-term campaigns. Mylar film is the first choice for repeated use with paint or food. Acrylic from 2 mm is suitable for dimensionally rigid positioning and welding stencils that must withstand rough production environments.

Scalable from individual piece to branch series

An individual piece for testing requires no tooling lead time — and a series for twenty restaurant branches runs with the same cutting data at consistent quality. For franchise operators and chain businesses, this is a direct advantage: single file approval, scalable reorders.

Frequently asked questions

From which materials can stencils be laser cut?

CAESS Laser cuts stencils from mylar (polyester film), acrylic, plastic sheets, coated sheets and cardboard. The optimum material depends on the application: for reusable spray stencils, mylar or thin acrylic is recommended; for single-use masks, cardboard is suitable.

Can I have my logo laser cut as a stencil?

Yes. Logo, lettering or motif is supplied as a vector file (AI, PDF, DXF) or digitised from a sketch for simple shapes. CAESS Laser advises on motif optimisation so that the stencil is practically usable — for example with island shapes that need to be connected in the stencil.

How many times can a spray stencil be reused?

This depends on the material and intensity of use. Stencils from mylar (0.125–0.25 mm) can be reused significantly more often than cardboard stencils with careful cleaning. For intensive catering use, we recommend mylar or 2–3 mm acrylic.

Is there a minimum quantity?

No. CAESS Laser works without minimum quantities — from individual pieces to series. For chain operations and franchise systems with multiple locations, larger series with uniform quality are also achievable.

What is a latte art stencil and how does it work?

A latte art stencil is a thin, perforated plate — usually made from mylar or acrylic — placed on the milk foam. Through the cut-outs, cocoa, cinnamon or icing sugar is sprinkled to create the desired motif or logo. CAESS Laser cuts these stencils precisely according to your company logo or custom motif.

Can stencils also be used for industrial markings?

Yes. Spray stencils from rigid plastic or acrylic are frequently used in industry and warehousing for floor markings, component labelling and type descriptions with spray paint. These stencils can be produced precisely and dimensionally stable at CAESS Laser.
