Stencil Types

Frameless SMT Stencil

$3.00

Most popular for prototype and small batch. Compatible with stencil printers and manual solder paste application.

  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Lower cost
  • Space-efficient storage
  • Compatible with most printers

Best for: Prototype & low-volume PCBA

Framed SMT Stencil

$15.00

Permanently mounted on aluminum frame for high-volume production. Best for automated stencil printers.

  • No alignment needed each time
  • Consistent paste deposition
  • Suitable for 10,000+ prints
  • Available in mesh or solid frame

Best for: Production & high-volume PCBA

Step Stencil

$25.00

Different thickness zones on one stencil for boards with varying paste volume requirements.

  • Multi-threshold in one pass
  • Eliminates need for multiple stencils
  • Ideal for mixed technology boards
  • Up to 3 step-down zones

Best for: Mixed component sizes on one board

Surface Treatments

Electropolished (Standard)

Smooth, mirror-like internal aperture walls. Reduces paste sticking and improves paste release. Included with every stencil at no extra cost.

✓ Better paste release✓ Smoother walls✓ Included free

Nano-Coating (+$3)

Hydrophobic nano-coating applied after electropolishing. Dramatically reduces paste adhesion — up to 50% fewer cleaning cycles. Recommended for fine-pitch components (≤0.5mm).

★ 50% less cleaning★ Fine-pitch ready★ +$3
