In the construction industry, cost, and efficiency are essential. Stencils offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for branding and marking roads, car parks, ships, helidecks, helipads, playgrounds, and other surfaces, ensuring clear, durable, and professional results. Here’s how stencils are used in the construction industry for industrial marking and why they are a vital tool for professionals.
Specifically designed for marking or remarking helidecks and helipads, these stencils provide fast, clear pre-landing identification for pilots — essential for safe and efficient landings. Cut from durable plastic, they are reusable, easy to store, and ideal for repeated use. Stencils can be applied directly on-site or as part of a pre-installation process, ensuring flexibility and convenience for various operational needs.

Stencils are widely used for marking disabled parking bays and EV charging points, offering a reusable and fully customisable solution tailored to each client’s specifications. Ideal for car parks, commercial properties, and public spaces, these stencils are made from durable materials like rigid polypropylene, allowing them to be reused across multiple applications or stored for future maintenance. This ensures both cost-efficiency and long-term usability in high-traffic environments. See how our custom road marking stencils perform in real-world conditions in this video with Top Mark Solutions.
Industrial-strength stencils paired with high-performance paint provide an efficient and affordable solution for marking playgrounds and outdoor spaces. Designed for versatility, they work well with surfaces such as tarmac, concrete, and even grass when used with the appropriate paints. Built for repeated use, these robust stencils can be stored and reused for future maintenance or touch-ups, making them a smart long-term investment. In this blog, we compare the benefits of stencilling versus thermoplastic markings.
Shipping container stencils are designed to easily mark corrugated surfaces. Made from self-adhesive vinyl or flexible, lightweight polyester film, they easily conform to the grooves and curves of differing cargo containers. Ideal for applying company logos, storage instructions, and identification numbers, these stencils ensure fast application and a professional finish—perfect for ports, logistics hubs, and storage facilities. This video provides step-by-step instructions for perfectly applying a thin polyester film stencil to a corrugated surface.
Large stencils are commonly used to paint company branding, national flags, or vessel names on ship funnels, enhancing identification and visibility at sea. Designed for use on curved surfaces, these stencils offer a cost-effective and practical solution for marking ship funnels. Typically produced in extra-large formats, the design is divided into manageable sections that align when applied, making installation straightforward even on large, rounded surfaces.

Stencils are a tool used for marking helideck/helipad inspection and landing platforms. They ensure clear and highly visible landing zones for helicopters involved in maintenance and personnel transport for example on offshore wind farms. Due to the easily transportable material, these can be marked prior to installation or on site.
Similarly, stencils are used to apply branding and safety markings on helipads. This includes company logos, directional indicators, and critical safety messages such as load capacity limits and emergency instructions.
Stencils play a key role in ship refurbishment projects, both in dry docks and offshore environments. They are commonly used for:
With their reusable nature, stencils offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for ensuring consistent and long-lasting markings across various maritime applications.
Industrial strength paint and stencils offer a practical and cost-effective alternative to using thermoplastic markings to mark playgrounds and road marking.
Using durable stencil material such as rigid polypropylene provides the opportunity for stencils to be reused for multiple applications or kept for future maintenance purposes.
Outdoor applications for stencils include parking bays, EV charging spaces, sports courts, stadiums, playgrounds and outdoor event spaces such as racetracks.
