Choosing the right plastic nets and meshes for textile and garment applications is rarely about picking the cheapest quote. It is about matching resin properties, processing method and certification to the way the part will actually be used.
The notes below come from day to day production and export work with overseas buyers.
This category covers a family of products rather than a single item. In practice a buyer defines plastic nets and meshes by three things: the base resin, the format or dimension, and the performance or certification level it has to meet. Typical options in this category include mesh 4 mm to 50 mm; roll length 50 m to 500 m; shade rate 30% to 95%. Materials most often specified are Polypropylene, Low Density Polyethylene, High Density Polyethylene, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the textile and garment sector the decision is usually driven by flexibility and abrasion resistance, with colour fastness as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include elastic tapes, fibre and filament, buttons and buckles.
Typical values for a general purpose grade are listed below; filled, stabilised and speciality compounds will differ.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene | 0.90-0.91 g/cm³ | 25-40 MPa | -10°C to 100°C |
| Low Density Polyethylene | 0.91-0.93 g/cm³ | 8-20 MPa | -50°C to 70°C |
| High Density Polyethylene | 0.94-0.97 g/cm³ | 20-32 MPa | -50°C to 80°C |
High Density Polyethylene is frequently the default selection here: HDPE combines toughness with chemical inertness, which is why it dominates pipe and tank markets.
Beyond the base resin, most suppliers offer UV stabilised, food contact, flame retardant, anti-static and recycled content versions of the same product. Ask which additive package is included, because it is often the difference between a part that lasts three years and one that lasts ten.
The route below is the one most factories use for this type of part.
Secondary operations such as printing, welding, machining and assembly are often cheaper to do in the same factory, and they reduce the risk of mismatch between components.
Work through these points in order and most specification mistakes disappear.
Send this list to your supplier with the drawing and you will receive comparable quotations from every factory you contact.
Standard packing is export cartons on fumigation-free pallets, with custom labelling, barcode and retail packing available. We also handle consolidated containers and door to door delivery.
A new tool typically takes 25 to 45 days depending on cavity count and complexity, followed by T1 samples within one week. Existing tools can usually start production within 10 to 15 days of order confirmation.
Yes. {mat1} is one of our regular materials for this item, and we can supply virgin, modified and certified grades with full traceability. Material certificates and test reports are issued per batch.
Yes. Standard samples are normally free of charge and shipped within three working days; custom samples are charged at cost and credited against the first production order.
We can provide ISO 9001 quality system documentation, material certificates, RoHS and REACH statements, and where applicable food contact, flame retardancy or drinking water approvals. Tell us your target market and we will match the document set.
If you are planning a new textile and garment project, send us your drawing, annual volume and target properties, and we will come back with a material proposal, a tooling plan and a budget quotation.
