A rigid stencil guide is made by cutting out your sign's design from a piece of cardboard. This guide is then taped to the wall and each piece of your sign is set inside its corresponding cutout location to stick it to the wall. Signs with double-faced tape are often mounted using a rigid stencil guide. Depending on the sign's dimensions the guide may come in multiple pieces. Signs larger than 22 x 93 inches will use a rigid split stencil guide which provides a partial cutout of the bottom portion of each sign element.
