Flexible and contour hugging
Standard extruded mesh sleeves protect delicate, sharp and irregular-shaped components during manufacture, handling and transit. Made from polythene in a flexible tubular mesh construction, they contour around glass, ceramics and other vulnerable parts while resisting grease, oils and mild acids. The mesh remains soft, flexible and reusable, with a working temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Available in 50m or 250m roll lengths and diameters from 6-17mm up to 100-200mm.
Sold and priced per roll.
Where do standard extruded mesh sleeves work best?
Standard extruded mesh sleeves protect delicate, irregular or sharp-edged parts during manufacture, handling and transit, without restricting the shape of the item.
- Glass components where a flexible sleeve helps reduce scuffs and contact damage during packing and movement.
- Ceramics and fragile items where a soft polythene mesh cushions surfaces without adding bulky packaging.
- Sharp or irregular shaped products where the tubular mesh contours around the part and stays in place.
- Production lines and packing benches where the dispenser box lets operators pull, cut and apply the length they need quickly.
Not for
- Heavy impact protection where the product needs a thicker cushion layer. Choose bubble wrap for broader surface cushioning.
- Securing products closed or bundling cartons. Choose packing tape for sealing and fastening.
- Moisture-tight wrapping. Choose polythene bags when you need an enclosed plastic pack.
