"Aluminum frames" are a necessary component in the screen printing process. Aluminum is a preferred material for screen printing applications due to its lightweight, durable, and non-corrosive properties.

Aluminum frames should be manufactured from the correct profile and thickness. Otherwise, improperly formed and unstable frames, or even warped frames, may result. Having smooth profile edges ensures proper tensioning of the screen and allows the frame to sit flush on the surface. Additionally, the surface where the frame will adhere to the mesh should be roughened.

Aluminum frames are available in various sizes and thicknesses, providing suitable frame options for different print sizes and projects. Furthermore, aluminum frames can be easily swapped, allowing for the use of different frames for different print designs or projects.

Aluminum frames are long-lasting and durable. As aluminum is a non-corrosive metal, the frames do not corrode over time. Additionally, their lightweight nature enhances portability and facilitates proper alignment of the print screens.
