SHL LA SUPPLY Bare Aluminum Screen Printing Frames for Mesh Stretching and Re-Meshing 23" x 31"

Bare Aluminum Screen Printing Frames for Mesh Stretching and Re-Meshing

Q: Are these frames airtight for washout and reclaiming?

Yes. Every frame is Full TIG Welded on all four sides. This creates a 100% airtight and watertight seal, preventing water or chemicals from getting trapped inside the tubing, which prevents internal corrosion and "leaking" during printing.

Outer Dimension	20" x 24"	23" x 31"	25" x 36"
Tube Profile	1.4"	1.5"	1.5"
Tube Thickness	1/18"	1/16"	1/14"
Tube Weight	1.1 Lbs	1.4 Lbs	1.6 Lbs

Technical Feature	Customer Benefit
Premium 6063T5 Alloy	Provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Ensures the frame stays perfectly flat and won't warp under daily industrial use.
Full TIG Welding	100% Airtight and watertight construction. Prevents internal corrosion and "leaky frames" during high-pressure washouts.
Sandblasted Finish	Creates a micro-textured surface that maximizes the bonding strength of mesh adhesives and photo emulsions.
High Tension Capacity	Engineered to handle high-Newton mesh stretching, leading to better registration and sharper print details.
Lightweight Design	Reduces operator fatigue on manual presses and minimizes mechanical wear on automatic press drive motors.
Eco-Friendly Investment	Highly durable and 100% recyclable, offering a sustainable, long-term asset for your print shop.

Our aluminum bare screen printing frames are designed for printers who prefer custom mesh stretching and screen re-meshing. Manufactured from high-strength welded aluminum, these frames provide exceptional rigidity, tension stability, and resistance to warping. Ideal for textile, graphic, and industrial printing applications, they offer a durable foundation for creating high-performance screen printing screens tailored to your production requirements

Pro Tip: Looking for the right tension? Pair these bare frames with our High Strength Polyester Mesh for professional results.

Why Professional Printers Choose SHL Supply Frames

⚡ High Tension Resistance
Constructed from heavy-duty 6063T5 Aluminum, these frames are engineered to handle maximum Newtons without bowing. Maintain perfect registration for high-mesh counts and complex multi-color jobs.
🚫 Superior Airtightness
Our Full TIG Welding process ensures every corner is 100% sealed. Unlike cheaper spot-welded frames, these are completely watertight, preventing ink, water, or cleaning chemicals from trapped inside the frame during washouts or reclaiming.
🧲 Enhanced Emulsion Adhesion
The surface of each frame features a professional sandblasted/frosted finish. This micro-texture creates the ideal surface for photo emulsions to "bite" into the frame, preventing stencil delamination during long production runs

Lightweight for High-Speed Production

Aluminum provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio.

Manual Printing: Reduces operator fatigue during long shifts.
Automatic Printing: Reduces the mechanical strain on the print heads and drive motors of automatic presses, allowing for faster cycle speeds

Primary Applications

Aluminum bare frames are the foundational component in the screen printing industry, used across various sectors due to their versatility:

Apparel & Textiles: The most common use case, including T-shirts, hoodies, and sportswear printing. These frames are ideal for both manual and automatic presses (like your 6-station rotary press).
Industrial Printing: Used for printing on electronic components, nameplates, and membrane switches where high precision is required.
Graphic Arts: Ideal for high-quality posters, signage, and fine art serigraphy.
Glass & Ceramics: Utilized for decorating automotive glass, architectural glass, and ceramic tiles

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're a beginner starting your first printing business or an established manufacturer upgrading your workflow, these answers will help you make informed decisions and operate your machine with confidence.

What is the difference between 6063T5 and standard aluminum?

6063T5 is an industrial-grade alloy specifically tempered for high strength and excellent surface finish. It offers higher rigidity than standard aluminum, ensuring the frame won't bow or warp even under maximum mesh tension.

Are these frames airtight for washout and reclaiming?

Yes. Every frame is Full TIG Welded on all four sides. This creates a 100% airtight and watertight seal, preventing water or chemicals from getting trapped inside the tubing, which prevents internal corrosion and "leaking" during printing.

Can these frames handle high-tension mesh (high Newtons)?

Absolutely. Our frames are engineered for high-tension stretching. The heavy-duty wall thickness allows you to reach professional-level Newtons without dimensional distortion, ensuring perfect registration.

Can I re-mesh these frames multiple times?

Yes. Unlike wood frames that rot or steel frames that rust, aluminum frames can be re-meshed indefinitely. Simply grind off the old glue, and the frame is ready for a new mesh. It is a one-time investment for years of use.

Will these fit my automatic press (e.g., M&R, ROQ)?

Yes. Our frames follow standard US industrial sizing (such as 20"x24", 23"x31"). They are designed with precise outer dimensions and consistent thickness to fit securely in most manual and automatic press clamps.
