Bringing Stencil Manufacturing Back Home — Proudly Australian Owned & Operated

At Tinkable, we’re on a mission to bring stencil manufacturing back to Australia. For too long, Australian makers, artists, and small businesses have had to rely on imported stencils — waiting weeks for shipping and struggling with inconsistent quality. We decided it was time for something better.

From our workshop in Queensland, we produce high-quality stencils using precision CO₂ laser technology, designed and manufactured locally by a team that truly understands what Australian creators need.


✂️ Designed, Cut & Crafted in Australia

Every stencil we sell is designed, cut, inspected, and packed in-house.
We use premium Mylar sheets sourced from trusted suppliers in China — the same professional-grade material used worldwide — and then laser-cut each design to order in Australia.

By doing the design and manufacturing locally, we maintain full control over:

  • Precision and quality of every cut

  • Fast turnaround with no international delays

  • Custom design capability — from coffee stencils to mural-sized templates

This ensures that while our materials come from overseas, the craftsmanship, innovation, and care are 100% Australian.


🌱 Sustainable, Local, and Responsible

Our made-to-order manufacturing model means we only produce what’s needed, reducing waste and keeping operations efficient.
We also reuse offcuts for smaller stencil projects and minimise shipping miles by keeping production here in Queensland.

By sourcing responsibly and manufacturing locally, we strike the right balance between sustainability, quality, and affordability.


💡 Creativity Without Borders

From custom logo stencils for small businesses to large-format art stencils for home decorators, every project is a chance to bring creativity to life.
Because we handle design, testing, and cutting ourselves, we can take on unique or complex requests — something mass producers overseas simply can’t offer.

If you can imagine it, we can make it — right here in Australia.


🦘 Why Choose Australian-Made Manufacturing?

When you buy from Tinkable, you’re supporting a growing Australian business that values local jobs, craftsmanship, and creativity.
Here’s what that means for you:

  • ✅ Faster, more reliable shipping across Australia

  • ✅ Direct communication with a local team

  • ✅ No customs delays or import fees

  • ✅ Consistent quality and attention to detail

We’re proud to show that real manufacturing still thrives in Australia — especially when it’s fuelled by passion, precision, and innovation.
