Can stencils be printed with designs that have isolated interior elements?

Stencils cannot include isolated interior elements. Any floating piece, like the closed center of certain letters, has nothing to hold it in place, so it will not exist in the finished stencil.

• Closed shapes, such as the inside of an O or A, create islands that fall out.
• Designs with these gaps come out incomplete or structurally weak.
• Bridges or connectors can keep interior pieces attached in many cases.
• Ask your printer to check whether your design is suitable for stencil printing.
