Extruded net
Diamond or square openings from a melt process. Ask which extrusion die and strand size the factory is quoting.
plastic mesh
Plastic Mesh Sourcing is an independent procurement desk for US business buyers. We do not manufacture plastic mesh, hold a warehouse, or publish a price list. A complete brief names construction (extruded or woven), thickness or strand size in inches or millimetres, opening size, quantity, destination, and whether the line ships as a roll or a plastic mesh sheet.
US search observation for this family (Ahrefs export dated 2026-07-22; home-term row observed 2026-07-07) recorded Volume 2100 for plastic mesh. That figure is a past measurement, not current rank or a promised inquiry volume.
Woven construction
Warp and weft yarns. Opening and yarn denier belong on the same line.
Roll or sheet
Width and roll length versus cut sheet size. Do not leave “standard pack” blank.
UV package
UV stabilizer / HALS, if outdoor service is intended. A plant ISO 9001 file is not a UV rating.
- REACH file on the quoted resin, if requested
- RoHS statement tied to the same item
- FDA 21 CFR 177 only when a food-contact grade is named
- ISO 9001 is a plant system, not a mesh rating
What this desk will ask a factory to attach
These cards are request prompts. Density 0.94 g/cm³ for HDPE or a tensile strength range printed on a brochure is that factory’s claim for that line, not a rating Plastic Mesh Sourcing reprints as its own.
TDS / SDS library
Ask for the current technical data sheet and SDS that name the quoted mesh, not a family flyer. If density in g/cm³ is how you distinguish resin, the TDS must show the method.
| Ask for | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Density (g/cm³) | Separates HDPE from other polyolefins when the buyer uses it |
| UV stabilizer / HALS | Outdoor service is not implied by a black colour |
Material selector
hdpe mesh, thermoplastic mesh and polyethylene plastic mesh are leftover measured strings. They are not five stocked SKUs. The factory must say whether they map to the same construction.
| Buyer string | Question to write |
|---|---|
| hdpe mesh | Is the resin HDPE, and which density method is cited? |
| thermoplastic mesh | Which polymer family and melt process are quoted? |
CAD & configurator
This desk does not host a mesh configurator. Send opening size, strand size and width on the request so a factory CAD or die drawing can be compared later.
Send the axes you haveSpecification groups a buyer still owns
These groups stay the buyer’s decision. Plastic Mesh Sourcing will copy them onto each factory request; we will not fill missing numbers from a brochure.
| Axis | What the factory must write |
|---|---|
| Thickness or strand size | Inches or millimetres; “standard mesh” is not a size |
| Opening size | Clear opening, not a marketing mesh count unless you define the count |
| Width and form | Roll width and length, or sheet length × width |
| Axis | What the factory must write |
|---|---|
| Density in g/cm³ | Only if you use it to distinguish resin; cite the method |
| UV stabilizer / HALS | Package name or hours, with the ASTM or equivalent method |
| Colour / masterbatch | Separate from UV; a colour chip is not a weather file |
| Axis | What the factory must write |
|---|---|
| Quantity | By configuration, not as a lump across forms |
| Packing | Rolls on a pallet, sheets interleaved, or gaylord |
| Documents | Lot TDS, dimensional report, named ASTM method — not a company certificate alone |
What a plastic mesh request has to contain
-
01
Name the form
Extruded, woven, roll, sheet or UV-stabilized. Neighbouring wording is not a substitute until the factory writes the mapping.
-
02
Keep axes on one line
Strand size, opening, width and UV package travel together. A cheaper unit price on a different Incoterm is a different deal.
-
03
Documents belong to a lot
A plant ISO 9001 file does not stand in for a dimensional page on the quoted mesh.
-
04
Quantity and destination
State US state or postal code and whether a sample must be approved before the production lot.
- 4axes factories must fill: strand, opening, width, UV
- 5reviewed inquiry forms on the products page
- 0published price list, warehouse or factory identity
- 3factories we can ask on the same written line
Application notes that change the purchase, not the promise
These cards translate a use into axes. They are not field-performance guarantees. plastic mesh fencing has its own page because opening size and UV package change with the site, not because this desk installs fence.
Agriculture and livestock
Representative part: barrier or shade mesh. Key axes: opening, UV stabilizer / HALS, roll width. File: supplier UV method, not a farm result.
Construction barrier
Representative part: temporary fence fabric. Key axes: opening, colour, roll length. File: lot dimensional page.
Industrial screening
Representative part: tray or conveyor overlay. Key axes: strand size, opening, resin density in g/cm³ if used. File: named ASTM method.
Packaging and pallet wrap alternatives
Representative part: pallet mesh. Key axes: width, elongation at break if the buyer uses it. File: TDS for the quoted grade.
OEM fabrication
Representative part: cut sheet inserts. Key axes: sheet size, thickness, colour/masterbatch. File: drawing confirmation.
Food-adjacent handling
Representative part: only when the buyer names food-contact. Key axes: FDA 21 CFR 177 grade and lot. File: grade-specific declaration, not a company letter.
Procurement scenario, not a customer testimonial: a buyer sent “plastic mesh” without saying extruded versus woven. Two factories answered different openings and one omitted UV. The unit prices were not comparable until strand size, opening and UV method sat on one line.
Send a plastic mesh brief
Share construction, strand size, opening, quantity and destination. We copy the same line to factories and compare replies. We do not promise a clock-time SLA or a market-beating percentage.
- Same specification line to more than one factory
- Documents tied to the quoted item, not to this desk
- Optional budget and supplier preference stay inside the existing requirement field
