    Looking for food grade plastic for making stencils

    Looking for food grade plastic for making stencils

    Hi all, sorry for the late reply. I have been spending a few weeks writing to suppliers. I found one that sells food safe plastic 190-250microns thick, although their minimum order is 200meters. I don't have a requirement at the moment, but was hoping to purchase around 10 meters each time.

    Looking for food grade plastic for making stencils

    I'm looking to buy a more advanced die cutter. As long as I sterilise the blade and the mat (these are the only parts of the machine that will touch the stencil), I'm ok. I'd need to cover it when not in use and sterilise before each use. The stencils will be touching the cake, so ideally I...

They hold their shape quite well and you can cut quite small design detail onto the plastic. I went to a supplier and took various thicknesses of plastic with me and they...

    Does anyone know suppliers of food grade plastic sheets suitable for making cake stencils with? I have struggled to find food grade plastic thin enough (190microns, or .19mm).

    Can anyone help - trying to find out how to make mesh stencils

    Hi prophet. Thanks for having a look for me. I am familiar with the ebay seller as I bought a mesh stencil from them.

    Can anyone help - trying to find out how to make mesh stencils

    Thanks Ashley Price. I'm not sure whether 3D printers is what I need. The product I'm trying to make is 2d- it is basically a stencil (but a more specialised stencil, if I'm making any sense?).
