NOVELTY - The frame has a border member i.e. linear member (5), and a foil sheet (65) attached to the frame, where the border member is formed as a single piece including sides and corners that define the frame. The single piece comprises two ends interlocked to form a joint on one of the corners, where the former corner comprises abutting faces arranged to prevent relative movement of the faces, where the border member is made of aluminum or an alloy.    USE - Rectangular stencil printing frame i.e. square stencil printing frame, for printing a part of a solar cell, a fuel cell e.g. polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) cell, direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) and solid oxide fuel cell, and an electrical component or circuit, wafer bumping and/or solder ball placement, applying solder to a substrate for surface mounting electrical components, and targeted depositing material e.g. polymer membrane, catalysts and solder paste, onto a substrate (all claimed) i.e. printed circuit board. Can also be used for triangular or pentagonal stencil printing frame and printing and depositing ink, dye, glue and adhesive i.e. epoxy resin, on a substrate e.g. paper, label and canvas.    ADVANTAGE - The frame can be manufactured with lower production costs. The frame enables improving handling and user safety by eliminating all sham edges. The frames has better functionality due to pre-tension of the stencil in the flat sub-frame, thus providing less printing defects and higher production yields. The frame enables reducing stencil damage due to the rigid aluminum sub-frame, thus increasing lifetime of the stencil. The frame has a better storage due to the fact that the stencil is mounted in a flat fixed sub- frame.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for manufacturing a stencil printing frame.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view of a linear member.    Linear member (5)    Linear member upper surface (25)    Linear slot (60)    Foil sheet (65)
