What is the difference between frameless and framed stencil?

Fameless stencils are nothing but a piece of 5mil thick stainless steel foil. The biggest disadvantage is its alignment process as the operator needs to be extra careful for each cycle.

Framed stencils are “pre-stretched” and, therefore, provide ease in alignment. With a framed stencil, your stencil is securely mounted to either a cast or extruded aluminium stencil frame using a mesh border. This keeps the stencil foil taut, allowing for complete control. Our glue-in stencils are permanently bonded using an exclusive border treatment which, when combined with our epoxy process, creates a bond so strong it will not fail.
