Vinyl Mesh is available as both a 50% Mesh (aka Wide Mouth Mesh - allowing a 50% blow through) and a 73% Mesh (aka Speaker Mesh - allowing a 27% blow through) The 50% is used frequently for printed backdrops where the client needs to accommodate for strong winds – such as in an outdoor setting. The 73% Mesh is also known as Speaker Mesh and is great for speaker cabinet fronts, or for signage where wind is of concern.

Pros: We love this product as it can be vinyl (aka hot-wedge) welded. You will get great color output from the heavily coated vinyl. It is also tested and approved as Flame Retardant, so you aren’t limited to using it outdoors.

Cons: The printed surface of vinyl mesh is fairly glossy and without expert professional lighting will show “hot spots” when used in a backdrop scenario. The primary need should be to allow air or sound to travel thru – if you don’t have that need, then look to use an alternate product.
