City Theatrical 360Q/Shakespeare Template Holder | Sandwich

Lighting designers, production electricians, and rental shops running 360Q or Shakespeare fixtures need pattern holders that match the gobos in their kit. This family covers two approaches, so the choice can follow pattern material and how hard the fixture is worked, instead of forcing a generic holder into the gate. Stocking both styles lets a house cover glass and metal pattern libraries without changing fixtures.

The sandwich style is built for metal gobos. It holds steel patterns flat, acts as a heat sink to extend pattern life, and includes plastic ring pulls so crews can handle the holder near a hot fixture. The glass style is the right call when the show relies on glass gobos, where the holder must be matched to the glass outer diameter.

Both versions suit touring packages, theatrical repertory stock, and permanent installs where spares are kept by fixture type. Confirm the holder style against your pattern material before ordering, and contact City Theatrical if you need sizing guidance for a different fixture.
