Oriented Netting

Produced by stretching extruded square mesh mesh under controlled conditions, oriented netting can be biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). This process enhances its tensile strength, making it ideal for produce and packaging markets, including potato and onion bags.

For wider goods, up to 17 feet or more, plastic netting can be stretched on larger tenter frames, resulting in square or rectangular netting. This method provides reinforcement for other substrates.

When stretched, the shape of the strands in the netting becomes hour-glassed, with joints thicker than the strands. The extrusion and orientation processes control strand number and aperture size. Colorants and additives can be added during extrusion for UV stabilization.

Most products are available in stock as master rolls. We also offer custom converting services to meet specific requirements.
