Mesh counts matched to the job
Screen printing depends on the right mesh count for the ink, image detail and substrate. Coarser mesh is often used for heavier deposits on packaging, garment work and special effects, while finer mesh suits detail work, halftones and smoother ink control. We help customers choose a mesh that suits the press, the artwork and the finish required, so the screen works with the job instead of fighting it.
Our mesh supply is geared for real print-room use, from high-flow production to smaller runs where consistency still matters. If a shop is changing artwork often, the mesh count needs to stay practical for reclaiming, coating and repeat setup. That is where clear matching makes a difference, especially when the same frame is used for more than one order.

Pre-stretched aluminium frames built for the press room
Our pre-stretched aluminium frames are prepared for screen printing work that needs stable tension and neat mesh bonding. A good frame should stay square, hold tension evenly and make it easier to pull a clean print from the first impression through to the last. That matters in Gauteng heat, coastal humidity and in busy shops where screens get handled all day.
We also do new frame stretching and frame re-stretching for customers who need a screen brought back into service. Worn mesh, loose tension and uneven pull can affect registration and ink deposit, so a proper re-stretch is often better than trying to push an old screen past its limit. If a frame is bent, dirty or poorly prepared, the screen will show it, sometimes straight away.

- Frame re-stretching for existing aluminium frames
- Custom frame sizing for different press setups
- Mesh bonding and frame clean prep before tensioning
How we handle each order
Every order starts with the intended use. We look at the mesh count, frame size, screen condition and whether the job is for short-run work or repeated production. From there, we check tension needs, screen surface condition and any prep required before dispatch. It keeps things practical and avoids waste, which is important when a shop is balancing stock with load-shedding, turnaround pressure and limited floor space.
Our team handles batch screen prep, screen inspection and dispatch packing so frames leave in usable condition. We keep the process straightforward and the communication direct, because print rooms need clear answers not guesswork. If a customer needs help deciding whether to stretch new frames or re-use a set already on hand, we talk through the options and match the advice to the shop's workflow.

- Frame clean prep before stretching or re-stretching
- Batch screen prep for grouped orders
- Dispatch packing for safe delivery across the country
