Abstract
A process for producing a drawing stencil characterized in that a plastic border edging is applied, by a spray or injection molding, upon a preformed stencil sheet. A further feature disclosed is the use of a lubricated interface between a border edging and a stencil sheet, to relieve stress buildup and resultant distortion of the stencil.
