LASER CUT STENCILS
THE BEST PERFORMING AND MOST REPEATABLE LASER CUT SMD STENCILS
Tannlin is a leading UK manufacturer of laser-cut SMT stencils, screen stencils, and paste stencils. With multiple high-precision laser systems and production sites across the UK, we offer fast turnaround and unmatched quality. Whether you’re scaling up production or looking for a more reliable supplier, we’re ready to meet your needs.
Stencil Design & Modifications
Allow our CAD teams extensive industry experience to improve your process with suggestions on correct modifications and alternative designs to improve paste release.
PCB Measurement
Match your stencil image array to your manufactured PCB array for improved paste alignment
Stencil Cutting
The latest Tannlin T11 stencil cutting systems enable us to offer high quality stencils with a quick turnaround.
Multi-level Stencil
Tannlin’s proprietary welded step stencil allows stencil designs to be optimised for paste release on a component basis. Our welded step stencil process gives a consistent print surface across the whole area while maintaining tight thickness control of the area.
Stencil coating
Increase your time between cleaning cycles and improve board gasketing with a nano-coated stencil.
Inspection
Tannlin AOI provides 100% aperture checking with additional aperture measurement analysis to provide Certificates of Conformance in-process.

TANNLIN MULTI-LEVEL
Manufactured using Tannlin’s proprietary laser process, Tannlin Multi-Level stencils provide greater flexibility and control in the print process over standard SMT stencils. Unlike etched or machined step stencils, Tannlin Multi-Level stencils have the same surface finish on the base and step levels. As part of the laser process, a ramp is created in the step areas, which works together with the surface finish to provide superior print quality over comparative technologies. Facilitate an increase or decrease of paste volume and deposit height on selected PCB areas with mixed component technology, large ground pads, intrusive reflow or coplanarity issues. Stencil to board gasketing and print repeatability are easily improved in areas of concern such as labels, solder mask inconsistencies and tented vias.
Utilise the experience of our stencil design team during your stencil order to understand how your print performance could be improved by adding Tannlin Multi-Level to your stencil.

Where can I order SMT stencils in the UK?Tannlin is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of laser-cut SMT stencils, trusted by major electronics manufacturers for high-quality, reliable production. With multiple laser systems and two UK manufacturing sites, we ensure fast lead times and consistent accuracy — ideal for both prototyping and high-volume production runs. Head to our contact page for a fast and easy sales enquiry!
-
What types of stencils do you manufacture?Tannlin specialises in laser-cut solder paste stencils, including framed stencils, frameless stencils (foils), and hybrid variants for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) applications. These stencils are primarily used in PCB assembly for precise solder paste deposition. They are manufactured from stainless steel or high-tension nano-treated materials, and produced using high-spec laser cutting systems to ensure fine resolution and repeatability.
-
Do you offer quick turnaround for stencil orders?Yes — Tannlin offers fast lead times and next-day delivery options across the UK. Their two production sites provide robust manufacturing capacity and allow for rapid dispatch of standard and custom SMT stencil orders. Whether you need a one-off prototype or a high-volume production batch, Tannlin’s systems are set up to meet your deadlines without compromising on quality.
