E-Z Step Stencils

Our revolutionary laser welded E-Z Step stencils are used to facilitate an increased or decreased amount of solder paste volume and to deposit a specific brick height on selected PCB areas where you have mixed component technology, large ground pads, intrusive reflow or areas with co-planarity issues.

Advancements to Step Technology

By the end of the first quarter in 2022, all BlueRing locations will offer welding, so that you can get your steps local! At BlueRing, innovation is built not bought! Our continued advancements in this technology have led to a wider range of steps and a stronger, flatter weld.
