In a city defined by its visual culture—from the street art of the Arts District to the industrial warehouses of Vernon—the ability to repeat an image perfectly, hundreds of times, is a powerful tool. A stencil is more than just a piece of plastic with holes in it; it is a force multiplier for your brand. It turns a single logo file into a repeatable asset that can mark shipping crates, sidewalks, walls, t-shirts, and even coffee foam.
At Stencils by A.L.C. (a division of American Laser Cutter), we specialize in fabricating industrial-grade, high-resolution stencils. We move beyond the limitations of flimsy paper or hand-cut acetate. Using high-speed CO2 laser systems, we cut durable materials that withstand solvents, paint, and heavy use, ensuring that your 500th impression looks as crisp as your first.
High quality material for crisp edges.
For templates and heavy duty use.
Protect your investment.
We know stencils. We provide guidance on bridging (islands) so your logo holds together perfectly after cutting.
From reusable Mylar for artists to disposable Oilboard for industrial shipping crates. We have the right material.
We keep materials in stock, allowing for 3-5 day turnarounds or Next Day Rush services.

"The Mylar stencils are a game changer for my murals. Super durable, easy to clean, and the registration marks they added made aligning layers easy."
"Needed oilboard stencils for shipping crates ASAP. They turned it around in 24 hours. Great service for industrial needs."
"They helped me fix the bridging on my logo so the center didn’t fall out. The result was sharp and professional."

We need vector files: .AI, .PDF, or .DXF. All fonts must be converted to outlines (curves). If you only have a JPEG or PNG image, our designers can trace and vectorize it for a small additional design fee.
Bridging is the process of adding small tabs to hold floating shapes (like the center of an 'O', 'A', or 'D') in place so they don’t fall out. You don’t have to do it yourself! Send us your standard logo, and our team will add the necessary bridges to make it "stencil-ready."
Our maximum single sheet size is 48 inches x 36 inches. However, for larger projects like wall murals or parking lot markings, we can "tile" the design across multiple sheets. We add registration marks so you can easily line them up perfectly on the wall.
Yes, absolutely. Our Mylar stencils are solvent-proof. You can clean them with acetone, paint thinner, mineral spirits, or warm soapy water depending on the paint you used. With proper care, a Mylar stencil can last for hundreds of uses.
Our standard turnaround time is 3-5 business days. However, we know Los Angeles moves fast. We offer Next-Day Rush services for urgent projects if the file is submitted before 12:00 PM.
