Specification how the PCB layout (or panel layout, respectively) should be orientated in the stencil. With the stencil size clearly exceeding the PCB size, the PCB can be positioned as portrait or landscape.

For TOP+BOT (on single stencil) the stencil size should be at least twice the PCB size.

The stencil thickness is chosen according to the component sizes.
The most common stencil thickness is 100µm.

Fiducials „half lasered“, always on the PCB side (bottom).

Even for state-of-the-art laser technology, the laser cutting of steel inevitably leads to smallest burrs, which must be removed before professional assembly (deburring).
