Do I need a stencil printer?

You need a stencil printer if you want to produce single-use stencils in-house. This is useful for changing text, serial numbers, small batches and repeat workshop marking.

Should I choose a Brother printer or a desktop thermal printer?

Choose a Brother printer for practical smaller stencil work and mobile or low-volume use. Choose a desktop thermal printer when you need faster stencil production and higher-volume marking.

What is stencil tape used for?

Stencil tape is used with compatible Brother printers to produce single-use stencils for electrochemical metal marking and etching.

What is marking roll used for?

When should I order a custom reusable stencil?

Choose a custom reusable stencil when you need the same logo, design or mark repeated across many parts. It is the better route for repeat production marking.

How long does a custom stencil last?

Cougartron custom multi-use stencils can be used for high-volume repeat marking, with the category page stating usability up to 2000 times.

What should I send if I need help choosing?

Send the mark size, logo or data type, expected marking volume, material and whether the mark changes from part to part.

Need the right stencil setup?

Match the printer, stencil and marking volume before ordering

The right stencil setup depends on mark size, repeat volume and whether the mark changes between parts. Send us the mark details if you are unsure.
