Polyamide (Nylon) Screen Printing Mesh is a premium-quality fabric specially designed for precision screen printing, offering excellent strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability. Its outstanding elasticity, abrasion resistance, and durability ensure consistent and sharp results in demanding industrial printing applications.

Manufactured with high-quality imported monofilament yarns on advanced Petter weaving looms, our polyamide and polyester meshes are extremely thin yet maintain excellent tension, ensuring smooth ink flow. These fabrics also serve effectively as filter cloth in flour sifting and other industrial processes.

Petter utilizes advanced testing instruments and Swiss-trained technicians to ensure the highest quality standards. Common specifications for polyamide printing mesh include: 60, 80, 100, 110, 120, 135, 160, 180, 200, 230, 250, 280, 305, 355, 380, and 420 mesh/inch.

Our standard maximum width is 3200 mm, but custom widths and special specifications are available upon request.

Manufacturing Process

General Thickness of Polyamide (Nylon) Screen Printing Mesh

Polyamide (nylon) mesh thickness generally decreases as mesh count increases. Typical thickness ranges by mesh count are as follows:

• 80 mesh: Approximately 0.20 mm – 0.30 mm
• 100 mesh: Approximately 0.18 mm – 0.25 mm
• 120 mesh: Approximately 0.15 mm – 0.20 mm
• 140 mesh: Approximately 0.12 mm – 0.18 mm
• 250 mesh: Approximately 0.05 mm – 0.08 mm
• 300 mesh: Approximately 0.04 mm – 0.07 mm

As a general rule, higher mesh counts correspond to finer yarns and thinner fabrics.

• Lower mesh counts (below 100 mesh) typically use thicker yarns, resulting in mesh thicknesses in the range of 0.20 mm to 0.30 mm. These are suitable for applications where a thicker ink deposit is required, such as some textile printing or certain graphic applications.
• Higher mesh counts (above 150 mesh) produce thinner fabrics, generally in the range of 0.04 mm to 0.10 mm. These are ideal for applications requiring precise detail and fine ink deposits, such as electronic printing, ceramic printing, and high-resolution graphic printing.
