Absolutely. Whether you’re working on a small-scale coffee stencil or a huge wall installation, we’ll convert your logo or artwork into a stencil. You simply send us your design file and our team will create the stencil cutting file.
Yes — we specialise in creating extra-large and oversized format stencils for murals, signage, floor graphics and more. Size is not a limiting factor, and we’ll assist you with layout planning and application guidance to ensure your project runs smoothly. Check out our case study on an extra-large floor mural in Milton Keynes.
We produce extra-large stencils up to 2400mm x 1200mm in a single piece. For designs larger than this, we can create the stencil in multiple sections that butt together or overlap for a seamless finish.
For fabrics, the size is effectively unlimited — our roll feed allows us to run material through our machines to produce a continuous, laser-cut roll.
Yes. Our in-house team of creative thinkers and problem-solvers can assist you with design adjustments and artwork optimisation — and if you’re starting from scratch, we can work with you to develop your idea or artwork creation.
We use “bridges” (small, strategic tabs) to hold internal pieces (such as the centre of an “O”) firmly within the stencil sheet. After application, if desired, you can fill the tiny gaps the bridges leave behind for a flawless finish.

Vector files are ideal for quoting and laser cutting, but they’re not essential. We can work with AI, EPS, DXF, and Vector PDFs. If you only have a high-resolution image (JPEG, TIFF, PNG), that’s absolutely fine — we can still quote and advise from that.
We work with a wide range of materials including acrylic, engraving laminate (Trolase), wood, MDF, paper, card, specialist sheets, leather and most fabrics. We also cut many sustainable, recycled and carbon-neutral materials, and can advise on alternatives if you’re looking to avoid plastics.

Yes — we can recommend the most suitable material based on the detail, scale and end use of your project. Whether you need durability, flexibility, sustainability or a specific finish, we’ll guide you through the options and suggest the best fit for both performance and budget.
Our stencils are designed for repeated use. The durability depends on the material you choose — polypropylene and polyester film offer long life and excellent stability, while card and paint mask options are ideal for short-term or single-use applications.
With proper cleaning and storage, reusable stencils can last indefinitely.
Yes — CO₂ laser cutting is ideal for many sustainable and biodegradable materials. We can work with a range of eco-friendly sheet materials including cellulose-based boards, paper, card and other fibre materials. If you have a specific sustainability requirement or material in mind, let us know and we’ll advise on the best options for your project.
Yes. We routinely laser cut recycled and repurposed fabrics. If you’re using a fabric we haven’t laser cut before, we’ll perform a free of charge test cut to ensure clean, accurate results before full production.
We cannot cut PVC-based fabrics, as PVC releases harmful gases when lasered and can damage the equipment. However, we can work with many PVC-free alternatives and are happy to advise on suitable substitute materials for your project.
Yes, we can cut free issue material. If it’s a material we haven’t used before, we’ll run a free test cut to check cut quality, edge behaviour and safety before starting your project. We’ll always confirm suitability before committing to a full run.
Yes, we can laser engrave or raster many different materials. Please visit our laser engraving and rastering page for more info: Laser Engraving & Rastering
Your order will be packed, stacked and labelled exactly how you request. Whether you need shrink-wrapping, bespoke labelling or special transit preparation — just let us know your packaging requirements and we’ll accommodate them.
At Laser Cutting Services Ltd (LCS), we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving the way we work. Although many of our stencils are produced using polyester film and polypropylene, these materials are reusable and can be recycled through dedicated facilities across the UK and internationally once they reach the end of their life.
We actively minimise off-cut waste and sort all suitable materials for recycling. Cardboard received into the studio is reused wherever possible, and our outgoing packaging is kept intentionally minimal. Smaller orders are sent in paper bags, and we are steadily transitioning towards a paperless office.
We also set aside surplus materials such as wood, fabric and sheet stock. Rather than disposing of these, we donate them to local schools and art workshops, where they can be used for creative projects and hands-on learning.
We aim to meet your deadline. Each project is unique — once we have your design, material and quantity, we’ll map a production timeline. If you require a next-day service, please specify it at enquiry and we’ll confirm if it’s feasible.
Possibly. Due to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, orders shipped to EU addresses may incur additional customs or duty charges. We can advise on this at the point of ordering so you know what to expect.
Yes — we ship worldwide. We can also advise on delivery options, packaging and any customs considerations depending on your location.
Yes — we offer prototype laser-cutting for one-off designs or trial runs. Whether you need a single sample or a small batch prior to full production, we’ll quote accordingly.
Because each project is custom-made, turnaround depends on size, material and complexity. We will work backwards from your deadline to establish a production timeline and keep you informed every step of the way.
We do have a minimum order value, but quotes are always based on the size, design and quantity of your project. The best approach is to contact us directly with your artwork and project details so we can advise on the minimum value and provide an accurate quote.
Yes — prior to cutting, we send a digital artwork proof for your approval. For larger or more complex jobs, we can also supply a physical sample proof to ensure you’re completely satisfied before full production begins.
Yes — whether you need thousands of identical stencils or multiple designs in volume, we have the capacity, equipment and logistics to support large-scale orders.
Check out the case study where we supplied 20,000 coffee stencils for Nestlé.
Yes — we can offer reduced rates for high-volume or repeat orders. Pricing depends on the design, quantity and material, so feel free to send your details and we’ll provide a tailored quote.
Yes — our laser-cutting systems are capable of reproducing intricate fine detail in materials like paper, card, fabric or specialist sheets that conventional die-cutting cannot handle.
We issue a VAT invoice and a secure payment link. Options include credit/debit card or BACS transfer. All jobs are pro forma. For repeat clients and high volumes, we can discuss account terms.
Bridges (also called “line breaks”) are tiny interruptions in continuous linework that prevent internal pieces from falling out of the stencil. Our team will design these bridges so your design remains intact and useable as a stencil.
