What Makes Vintage Letter Stencils So Appealing
Vintage serif fonts and old-style typography instantly suggest heritage and craftsmanship. They’re dramatic, elegant, and nostalgic. This style works perfectly for:
- liquor and champagne storage
- toy and memory boxes
- kitchen and pantry organization
- decorative crates and trunks
- photography and retail props
A plain box becomes an object with history.
How This Champagne Box Was Created
This crate began as simple, unfinished wood. Our client prepared the surface, positioned the letter stencils, and applied paint through them to achieve a clean, authentic marking.
The lettering adds character — subtle, but impactful.
- No vinyl.
- No cheap stickers.
- Just real paint and real stencil work.
With this method, the box gets a long-lasting, authentic, vintage-stamped appearance — exactly the kind of finish you can’t replicate with printed labels.
Custom Letter Stencils for Home Decor
One of our customers came to us with an idea inspired by a vintage Champagne crate — a clean serif font, classic spacing, and a timeless look. Based on their idea, we designed a custom stencil to match their aesthetic, proportions, and wood surface.
You’re not limited to one word or one font — we can create any custom text for your project. Whether it’s a name, date, brand, location, phrase, logo, or a special message, we’ll design the stencil to match your style.
Want something elegant like “CHAMPAGNE”, industrial, playful, or rustic?
We offer a wide range of font choices and sizes tailored specifically to your crate or decor piece.
All our stencils are cut from high-quality flexible Mylar plastic, available in two thickness options:
- 300 microns (0.3 mm) — flexible and ideal for slightly curved surfaces
