Stencil storage is part of process optimization
Improper or unstructured storage doesn’t just take up space. It also increases the risk of damage, mix-ups, and unnecessary search times. Especially as stencil inventories grow, a storage problem can quickly turn into a process problem.
A well-designed archiving system creates clear workflows, protects valuable stencils, and ensures that they are quickly and reliably available again for the next production run.
- Reduced search and setup times
- Protection against damage during handling
- Clear allocation and quick availability
- More efficient use of warehouse space
- Greater reliability for recurring production orders
Protect stencils,
avoid unnecessary costs
An archiving system should be tailored to your production needs. That’s why we manufacture our storage racks in-house and customize them to fit your stencil formats, capacity, and available space.
This ensures you get only as much of the system as you need: space-saving, expandable, and designed for short handling distances. This protects your stencils while reducing avoidable process costs.
Storage Systems for Every Type of Stencil
Archive boxes, ZIP pouches, or shelves: We manufacture storage and shelving systems for various SMD stencils, capacities, and space requirements.
Storage Shelves for Archival Boxes
Available in two sizes:
1.20 m x 0.60 m x 1.84 m (WxDxH) for small archive bags (570 mm x 570 mm)
1.20 m x 0.60 m x 2.03 m (WxDxH) for large archival bags (720 mm x 570 mm)
Matching archival boxes (color: white) are also available from us.
Storage System/
Zip Pockets
The storage system is available as a freely configurable shelving unit or as a cart with swivel casters.
Footprint of the base shelving unit:
1030 mm (W) x 630 mm (D).
Dimensions of mobile cart:
1060 mm (W) x 630 mm (D) x 1200 mm (H).
Each shelf consists of a system panel equipped with guide grooves and provides space for 100 zip-top bags.
The bags are available in a variety of sizes and are made of either PE or ESD material.
Shelves for stencils
in fixed frames
Customizable shelves for framed stencils.
Footprint of storage rack:
1200 mm (W) x 600 mm (D)
Each shelf of the storage rack thus provides space for 93 VectorGuard stencils.
The system can also be configured for BECsnap, BECdirect, BECdirectultra, as well as VectorGuard VG260 and VG265 stencils.
Comprehensive Solutions for Solder Paste Printing
Efficient stencil management doesn’t end at the shelf. As a manufacturer of SMD stencils, we take a holistic approach to production, handling, and archiving, tailoring each component to your specific needs.
This way, you not only get the right storage solution, but—if desired—a comprehensive system for the safe and efficient use of your SMD stencils.
The Right SMD Stencil for Your Electronics Manufacturing
We manufacture SMD stencils tailored to your assembly, printing process, and manufacturing requirements.
But our work doesn’t end with laser cutting.
With layout optimization, application support, and years of process expertise, we guide you through even the most challenging tasks—from selecting the right stencil to optimizing apertures and paste transfer.
The result is stencil solutions that are not only precisely manufactured but also tailored to their intended use.
What Our Customers Say
I am very satisfied with the current service.

Any questions?
How do I store SMD stencils properly?
SMD stencils should be stored in a protected, organized manner and, whenever possible, without being subjected to unnecessary mechanical stress. It is also important that the required stencils can be clearly identified and retrieved without time-consuming searching or rearranging. The appropriate storage solution also depends on the stencil type, frame size, and inventory.
How can we reduce the space required for storing stencils?
It is crucial to design the shelving system to accommodate the actual stencil sizes and capacities. Standard shelving does not always make optimal use of the available space. Custom-configured systems can make more efficient use of floor space and ceiling height while also providing direct access to individual stencils.
How do I organize a growing collection of stencils?
When planning, you should take into account the possibility of a growing inventory from the very beginning. Expandable shelving systems allow you to start with the capacity you currently need and add additional storage spaces later. Clear organization and labeling also make it easier to assign items for recurring production orders.
How can search times be reduced when providing templates?
A designated storage location and a clear assignment for each stencil simplify preparation for the next job. Especially with large inventories or frequent product changes, structured archiving can reduce unnecessary trips and search efforts.
How can proper storage prevent damage to stencils?
Much of the damage does not occur during solder paste printing, but rather during transport, handling, or improper storage. A suitable archiving system minimizes unnecessary movement and enables secure storage without the need to stack stencils or move them around repeatedly.
Can stencil storage help optimize the process?
Yes. While structured storage does not directly shorten the printing process, it can simplify the steps that come before and after it. Less time spent searching, clear categorization, shorter distances, and reduced handling all contribute to a standardized and more efficient production workflow.
