Sequential Numbering
Stencils can be sequentially numbered for a small additional cost. The number appears on the lower line and takes up some of the space allocation for other characters

Overseal Labels
Recommended to draw maximum attention to and also to protect the mark, the optional clear acetate overseal with distinctive upper and lower red border, emphasises and protects the etched mark.
