stencillers
Pattern transfer artists
Stencillers are people who create or apply stencils—templates with cut-out designs used to transfer patterns onto surfaces.
The term covers both artists who use stencils for street art or graphic design and workers who apply stenciled markings in industrial or commercial settings: The stencillers finished labeling the crates by noon.
