Stenciling
Industrial Stenciling Equipment & Stencil Ink Systems
Stenciling is a practical, low-cost method for marking cartons, crates, drums, bags, and other surfaces in warehouse and industrial environments. A typical stencil marking system uses stencil ink, an ink pad or roller system, and a stencil to apply clear, repeatable markings.
Pro Pack Solutions offers industrial stenciling supplies including stencil inks, ink pads, roller applicators, and stencil materials. These products are commonly used for shipping identification, product coding, lot marking, and warehouse labeling.
How a Stencil Marking System Works
- Stencil ink is applied to an ink pad or used with a roller applicator system, or by using spray inks.
- The roller is loaded with ink from the pad
- The stencil is placed on the surface to be marked
- The roller is passed over the stencil to transfer the ink
This straightforward process allows operators to create consistent markings without complex equipment, making it a dependable option for warehouses, shipping departments, and manufacturing operations.
Stencil Ink
Stencil inks are available for different surfaces and applications. Choosing the correct ink helps improve adhesion, marking clarity, and durability.
Ink Pads & Roller Systems
Ink pads are used to evenly load roller applicators with stencil ink. This helps maintain more consistent ink transfer and cleaner stencil impressions during repeated marking.
Stencil Rollers
Roller applicators allow operators to apply ink evenly across a stencil surface for clear, repeatable markings on cartons, crates, drums, and other packaging.
Stencil Materials
Stencil materials range from disposable options to reusable oilboard and other stencil stock depending on how often the stencil will be used and how detailed the impression needs to be.
Common Uses for Industrial Stenciling
