Quick summary: Imported Mart Stencils (imartdecor.com) manufactures reusable mylar stencils for Islamic calligraphy, mandala, wall, furniture, fabric and carpet-pattern painting. Stencils are washable, reusable 50+ times, made in our Rawalpindi workshop, and ship across Pakistan and worldwide. Below are the questions our customers ask most, with direct answers.

Products & Materials

Are your stencils reusable?

Yes. Every imartdecor stencil is cut from durable plastic mylar film, so one stencil can be used 50 or more times. Wash it with water immediately after painting, dry it flat, and the same stencil will produce crisp results for years of projects on walls, canvas, wood and fabric.

What material are imartdecor stencils made of?

Our stencils are precision-cut from thin, flexible plastic mylar sheet . Mylar is the industry-standard stencil material because it is tear-resistant, washable, solvent-safe and flexible enough to bend around corners and curved surfaces without cracking.

What surfaces can I use the stencils on?

You can stencil on painted walls, canvas, wood, MDF, fabric, paper, glass, ceramic, metal, concrete floors and furniture. The surface should be clean, dry and smooth. For glossy surfaces like glass or tile, lightly secure the stencil with painter's tape or repositionable spray adhesive for the sharpest edges.

What paint works best with stencils?

Acrylic paint is best for walls, canvas and wood; fabric paint for textiles; and chalk paint for furniture. Use very little paint on a dry stencil brush, foam dauber or dense foam roller, and dab or roll in light layers. Thick or watery paint is the main cause of bleeding under stencil edges.

What sizes do your stencils come in?

Most designs are offered in multiple sizes, typically from small A4 craft sizes up to large wall sizes; the available dimensions in inches are listed on each product page. If your wall or canvas needs a size we do not list, contact us on WhatsApp for a custom-cut size of the same design.

What are the "bridges" in calligraphy stencils?

Bridges are the thin connecting strips that hold floating parts of a letter (like the inner shape of a closed loop) in place. All reusable stencils need them. After painting, simply touch up the small bridge gaps with a fine brush to make the calligraphy look fully hand-painted.

Islamic Calligraphy & Accuracy

Is the Arabic calligraphy on your stencils accurate?

Yes. Every Quranic verse and Arabic script design is checked letter-by-letter against the original text before it is approved for cutting . We never release a religious design until the spelling, diacritics and letter forms are verified correct.

Do I need calligraphy or art skills to use these stencils?

No skills are required. The stencil holds the exact letter shapes for you; you only tape it to the surface, dab paint over it, and peel it away. Thousands of our customers with no art background have painted Ayatul Kursi, Kiswa and Surah designs on their walls using only a sponge and acrylic paint.

Which Islamic calligraphy designs do you offer?

We manufacture stencils of Ayatul Kursi, the Kiswa (Kaaba door) design, Asma ul Husna, the Four Qul, Loh-e-Qurani, complete Surahs, Kalmas, Tasbih phrases and individual Quranic verses, in multiple sizes. Browse the full range in our Islamic calligraphy stencils collection.

Can I paint the Kiswa (Kaaba door) design at home?

Yes. Our Kiswa door stencil reproduces the Ghilaf-e-Kaaba calligraphy accurately at wall scale. You tape the stencil panels in position, apply gold or metallic acrylic over a dark background, and touch up bridges afterward. No calligraphy skill is needed.

Shipping & Delivery

Do you ship to the USA, UK and UAE?

Yes. We ship worldwide from Pakistan, including the United States, United Kingdom, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia and Europe. International orders are sent by tracked courier and typically arrive in 7-14 business days . Full rates and times are on our Worldwide Shipping page.

How long does delivery take inside Pakistan?

Orders within Pakistan are dispatched from Rawalpindi and usually delivered in 2-5 business days by courier, with tracking . Cities such as Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi are normally at the faster end of that range; remote areas can take a little longer.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping cost depends on destination and parcel size, and is calculated at checkout before you pay. Stencils are light, so international shipping is cheaper than most customers expect. Country-by-country rates and delivery times are published on our Worldwide Shipping page.

Will I get a tracking number?

Yes. Every order, domestic and international, is shipped with a tracking number that we send to you by email (and WhatsApp on request) as soon as the parcel is dispatched. You can follow the parcel door-to-door on the courier's website.

How are stencils packed so they do not bend?

Small and medium stencils ship flat between rigid card sheets; large wall-size stencils are rolled inside a sturdy postal tube . Mylar is flexible, so even a rolled stencil flattens out perfectly: leave it under a few books for an hour before use.

Will I have to pay customs duty on an international order?

Possibly, depending on your country's import rules. Stencils are low-value craft goods, so most orders to the USA, UK and Gulf countries arrive without extra charges, but any customs duty or VAT charged by your country is the buyer's responsibility. Details are on our shipping page.

Using & Caring for Stencils

How do I stop paint bleeding under the stencil?

Use a nearly dry brush or foam roller: load it lightly, dab off excess on paper, then apply thin layers with a straight up-and-down dabbing motion. Secure the stencil flat with painter's tape or repositionable spray adhesive. Two thin coats always look sharper than one heavy coat.

How do I clean a mylar stencil?

Rinse the stencil with warm water immediately after painting, before the paint dries, and rub gently with your fingers or a soft sponge. For dried acrylic, soak it in warm soapy water for 15-30 minutes, then peel the paint film away. Never scrub with anything sharp, and dry it flat.

How should I store stencils between projects?

Store stencils clean, dry and flat: ideally inside a folder, under a board, or hanging from a clip. Keep them away from direct heat and sunlight, which can warp plastic over time. Stored this way, a mylar stencil stays usable for many years.

Can I use spray paint with your stencils?

Yes, mylar is solvent-resistant, so spray paint works well, especially on wood, metal and fabric. Hold the can 20-25 cm away, spray light passes at a low angle, and mask the surrounding area generously, because spray drifts further than brush paint. Clean overspray off the stencil afterward.
