This has been further supported by the introduction of the company’s stencil offering in 2018, which has helped businesses to further enhance their brand offering through this versatile product. The durable, intricate, and lasercut designs have been used for multiple applications since their launch, and Photocentric has seen a recent, marked increase in stencils being used for planner pages and journaling in particular, along with interior design, mixed media and papercraft, as crafters of all types increasingly use journaling to prioritise and schedule tasks, document thoughts, emotions, and memories using attractive designs. The impact of stencils has also enabled businesses to enhance their offering across a range of multi-purpose craft and stationery materials, which have been utilised alongside coordinating stamps and other products on offer from the Cambridgeshire based company, to give a decorative twist. Created from a semi-transparent, 350 micron Mylar material, Photocentric provides the opportunity to etch logos and guidelines into the stencil, and offers a variety of sizes with low minimum order quantities. The development in stencil production shows that they’re not just used for illustrating papers, notebook covers and folders, but are equally impactful being applied to a wider variety of stationery projects. +44 (0)1733 349 937 https://photocentricgroup.com/craft 46
