Characteristics
The Nortech 23" x 31" 156 Yellow Mesh Aluminum Frame is a versatile screen printing screen designed for decorators who need dependable print quality, consistent stencil performance, and long-lasting durability. Constructed from lightweight yet rugged aluminum tubing, this frame provides excellent strength while remaining easy to handle in both manual and automatic printing environments. Nortech aluminum frames utilize heavy-duty adhesive to create a strong mesh-to-frame bond for dependable performance throughout repeated production and reclaim cycles.

It performs exceptionally well for spot colors, white underbases, athletic graphics, promotional apparel, and a wide range of everyday screen printing applications.
