NBC Beta Series Screen Printing Mesh 55″ Wide (Sold By The Yard)

NBC Beta Series Screen Printing Mesh is a premium polyester monofilament mesh built for high dimensional accuracy and excellent tension stability — so screens stretch tight, hold tension and register sharp, print after print. A full 55″ wide and available in eight counts from bold 80 to ultra-fine 305, it covers everything from heavy underbases to fine halftones.

NBC Beta Series Screen Printing Mesh 55″ Wide

The mesh is the foundation of every screen — and NBC Beta Series is a premium polyester monofilament woven for the two things that matter most on press: dimensional accuracy and tension stability. It stretches evenly, holds tension with low elongation, and gives you crisp, repeatable registration whether you’re laying a heavy white underbase or holding a fine halftone. Trusted for textile, glass and ceramic-tile printing, it’s a workhorse mesh at a fair price — and we cut it to whatever length you need.

How To Order

1. Pick your mesh count

Choose from 80 to 305 (see the guide below). White for lower counts, yellow for higher-detail work.

2. Enter yards in quantity

Whatever number you enter is the length we cut — quantity 5 = one continuous 5-yard piece, 55″ wide.

3. We cut & ship

Your mesh ships as a single continuous length, ready to stretch onto your frames.

Mesh Count Guide — Which Count Do You Need?

Match the mesh count to your artwork and ink. Higher counts hold finer detail with a thinner deposit; lower counts push more ink for bold, opaque prints.

Mesh count (tpi)	Thread	Color	Best for
80/100	100 µm	White	Thickest deposits — glitter, shimmer, high-density & heavy specialty inks
110/80	80 µm	White	Bold spot colors, white underbase, thicker plastisol
125/71	71 µm	White	Everyday spot color & underbase with good ink lay
140/63	63 µm	Yellow	All-around printing where detail starts to matter
155/61	61 µm	Yellow	Fine text, detail & simulated-process spot colors
200/55	55 µm	Yellow	Halftones, fine detail & lighter ink deposits
230/48	48 µm	Yellow	High-detail process work & water-based prints
305/40	40 µm	Yellow	Ultra-fine detail, CMYK & high-mesh water-based

Lower counts = thicker ink & bolder coverage; higher counts = finer detail & thinner deposits. White mesh is standard for lower counts; yellow (dyed) mesh is used at higher counts to cut light scatter during exposure for sharper edges and finer halftones.

Why NBC Beta Series

Holds tension

Excellent tension stability and low elongation mean screens stay tight and registration stays true.

Dimensional accuracy

Consistent, evenly woven monofilament for sharp, repeatable prints across the run.

Full range

Eight counts from 80 to 305 cover underbase, spot color, halftone and process.

Versatile

Great for textile, glass and ceramic-tile printing with plastisol or water-based inks.

Stretch it right. Stretch onto retensionable ECO frames, bring it to tension with a tension meter, and always degrease before coating emulsion. Don’t stretch your own? Use our remesh / frame-exchange program and we’ll do it for you.

Technical Specifications

Every roll of NBC polyester mesh is supplied with an inspection tag. While flaws are kept to a minimum by careful quality control, any flaw found after thorough inspection is clearly marked to prevent it being stretched into your image area. Thickness and mesh count are precisely controlled and documented on the tag—critical information for setting your production standards. In addition, NBC compensates for flaws y adding one half yard of mesh to the end of the roll free of charge for each flaw. (Any marked flaws within an 18″ space are considered to be one flaw and compensated with a ½ yard of material.) Each flaw is clearly marked on the selvage edge with a red triangle on a blue pressure sensitive label.
