Buyer Beware & Compare

Not because WE say so either!
Testimonials from our satisfied customers who made the EZ decision
to buy EZ1 Stencils and even one who made their own comparison to Paper!

 "We did a playground painting project last month using your
EZ1 Stencils as well as some paper ones we had.
The EZ1 Stencil was by far and away the easiest and quickest!
The end product was professional looking
even when the youngest kids helped!
Great product ! Thanks."

Ann Lasman - Essex Massachusetts

"All of our paint projects have come out great!
Several schools used the USA and NJ State Stencils.

The stencils have held up well and were easy to use."
Tracey Balestrieri, West Windsor, NJ

"The stencil painting went really well. The map came out great!
It was very easy- directions and paint recommendations,
including paint brush type were right on."
Bruce Flax, Mystic, CT

"The EZ1 stencil was great. Very easy to use. My 8 year old did most of it!
Your service and delivery were excellent."
Linda Quinlan, Duxbury, MA

( Would appear from testimonials the perfect name for our product was an EZ1 )


An important message from Dan Carle, Innovator, Educator & Founder of EZ1 Stencils:
As an Award Winning Teacher I appreciate the value of an educated buyer.
There are a lot of distributors of the flimsy newspaper print paper stencils & other less durable stencils.
Many have contacted me to sell my stencils and for a dozen good reasons below.

The largest seller I heard from is a California based company called Peaceful Playgrounds*.
Oddly, their President was NOT very peaceful and maybe because she did NOT like my comparisons.
Hmmm ... I wonder why?

*** McDonald's & Burger King do it ... Coke & Pepsi do it...
Sooooo... Let's compare and YOU can decide!

Read our "dozen dares to compare" EZ1 Stencils to
Peaceful Playground* stencils and... EZily see our advantages!

Per their website - PP New Roll Out Stencils still not durable enough to guarantee reuse?

 Interesting Fact: PP developed their NEW Roll Out Stencils because ...
... customers wanted an easier way to paint their playgrounds.
We have always had the EZ-ier and STILL - EZ-iest way ... in our EZ1 Products Name.

NOTE: Even with their NEW Roll Out Stencils ... restrictions below STILL apply...

**Per licensing rights, Peaceful Playgrounds (PP) RESTRICTS BUYERS use to a single school site!
For the record I made a peaceful offer to work with PP to provide their customers
with a better, yes EZier... REUSABLE alternative than a MAP paper stencil.
Peaceful Playgrounds was NOT interested in offering this to their customers?

Is it possible a reusable stencil interferes with their SINGLE school use restriction and their profits?

A big company PROFIT$ from promoting "peace" yet "sharing" may lead to a non- peaceful infringement war?

Consider This : Even if you wanted to split cost of PP* high package prices with another school
YOU CAN'T Share the cost and by law... YOU CAN'T SHARE the stencils?

We find that outrageous at a time when schools & Volunteer Parent Groups
across the Nation are operating on tight budgets.

Peaceful or not - we don't recognize this as CARING whether YOU "$ave money"
just that THEY make more money.

Some things are worth repeating...

"All of our paint projects have come out great!
Several schools used the USA and NJ State Stencils.

The stencils have held up well and were easy to use."
Tracey Balestrieri, West Windsor, NJ

REUSE = EZ1 Stencils can be purchasd by sharing expenses & stencil(s) w/more than 1 organization!

An EZ1 Stencil purchase does NOT come with RESTRICTIONS on what you CAN'T DO with it.
We have provided plenty of things YOU CAN do above and beyond a "once -n- done" Stencil.
So...........
" Which company REALLY CARES and has a customers best interest in mind ? "

Yes... it is no secret ...we do charge more for a USA EZ1 Stencil BUT...
- EZ1 cost more to make them easier for you to use (reuse) in 1 piece stronger material
- You PAY MUCH LESS with each extra completed project.
-YOU get MORE benefits with LESS STRESS
- You can share stencils AND the costs!!!
Like anything else...you will get what you pay for.

 Only need one project so reusable does not matter?
Some EZ1 Stencil buyers in need of ONE project still purchased ours because
they valued their time wasted (volunteers too) in dealing with the many hassles involved
in working with multiple sections of Newspaper thin stencils.
PLUS+++ they recognized the value in being able to use our stencils indoors!!!

Feedback from our customers is great to add to our experiences as Professional Playground Painters:

With 17 years in the business of painting school playground surfaces we have tested various stencils
and systems for using same. We have shared with you here what we have learned in our encounters.
We welcome any challenge from our competition in disputing any claims we say they make.
All our claims can easily be supported by documentation or by searching the internet.

What you don't know helps them sell their product...
We think you deserve to KNOW more!

Until the introduction of our Exclusive EZ1 Stencil Products
Your choice in looking for the easiest, fastest, reusable
"Do It Yourself" (DIY) Playground Surface Stencil
has been very limited to say the least.
In fact, it has been... PAPER thin L

The decision YOU make to DIY and Paint A Playground Surface IS NOW ... an EZ1 J

BEWARE & COMPARE

Reminder: Other stencil companies offering reusable stencils require you remove layers of dried up paint off them.
Messy Paint clean up off our product is NOT even part of the equation with an EZ1 Stencil
Many of these reusable stencils are also NOT 1 piece requiring much more layout time with multiple sections.
Add to this the extra messy clean up time in removing dried up paint, extra storage space of their stencils and now you know...
The right decision to buy from us is an EZ1!!!

BIG BONUS: Other reusable stencils make no claims they can be used indoors or for multiple educational purposes.
