A stencil is a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, or metal, with
letters or a design cut from it, used to produce the letters or design on an
underlying surface by applying pigment through the cut-out holes in the
material. The key advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused to
repeatedly and rapidly produce the same letters or design.
