Customer noted that the recommended stencil opening is larger than the pad. Is this intentional? What is the reason for requiring this?

Hello,
The stencil has the "non-solder mask opening" accounted for so it is 0.05 bigger on all sides of each pad than the board layout.
Hi Cameron,
I would like to double check that the stencil is for solder paste, and not for solder mask? The solder mask opening is the same size as the solder paste? I haven’t come across solder paste larger than the pad before, so just want to make sure.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Kevin
Kevin,
I apologize for the delay. you are correct that it is for the solder mask. I apologize I misspoke.
