Deco Tech manufactures welded aluminum screen frames for industrial screen printing in standard, heavy-duty and specialty configurations. Frames can be built around your press, print area and part geometry, then supplied bare or completed through our in-house screen making department.
A screen frame is part of the printing system. Frame size, profile rigidity, mesh tension, machine clearance and part shape all influence how the screen behaves on press. Deco Tech can build the frame around those production requirements rather than forcing the job into a one-size-fits-all frame.
Custom outside dimensions using extruded aluminum tubing in a broad range of profile sizes for industrial flat and container printing.
Thicker-wall and double-hollow profiles are available when larger frame dimensions or production demands require greater rigidity.
Special frame geometry can provide clearance around handles, raised features, tight machine clamps and difficult part shapes.
Small frames can be fabricated from solid aluminum stock with machined features for unusual print areas and dedicated applications.
The profile should be selected around the outside frame dimensions, image area, target mesh tension and how the frame mounts in the press. Larger frames and higher tension generally require more resistance to deflection.
Use this chart as a starting point. Final profile selection should be matched to the finished frame size and production requirements.
| Profile Type | Width | Height | Wall Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Hollow | .75" | .75" | .063" |
| Standard Hollow | 1.5" | .75" | .063" |
| Standard Hollow | 1" | 1" | .063" |
| Standard Hollow | 1.25" | 1.25" | .063" |
| Standard Hollow | 1.5" | 1.5" | .080" |

Need a frame size or geometry outside a standard configuration? Send Deco Tech your outside dimensions, print area, machine model and application details for review.
Industrial screen printing often involves more than flat sheets. Deco Tech can modify frame geometry when a standard rectangular frame interferes with the part, machine clamps or required print position.
Frames can be configured for round and shaped containers, mugs with handles, raised lips, curved print surfaces and dedicated production setups where clearance or repeatable positioning matters.
Custom curvature for printing over a radius or around non-flat surfaces.
Lower the frame below the clamp level when machine or part clearance is limited.
Support repeatable setup with copy-plate systems on dedicated jobs.
Machined small-format frames for specialty shapes, raised features and unique applications.
Deco Tech also provides in-house screen making, so the same custom aluminum frame can continue through mesh stretching, coating and imaging when required.
Custom aluminum frame fabricated to the required outside dimensions, profile and geometry for your press and application.
Mesh is pneumatically stretched to the specified tension, degreased and bonded to the prepared aluminum frame.
Add photo emulsion coating and artwork imaging when you want a screen prepared further toward production use.
Different products create different clearance, tension and press-mounting requirements. We can match the frame size, profile and geometry to the actual printing application instead of forcing the job into a stock frame.
Deco Tech manufactures welded aluminum frames in Orange County, California and supports the full screen printing process — including screens, machines, squeegees, inks, prepress and technical support.
Yes. Deco Tech can manufacture custom welded aluminum screen frames around your required outside dimensions, press configuration, print area and application. Profile sizes range from compact .75-inch square sections through profiles up to 5 inches wide by 1.75 inches high, with double-hollow options also available.
Both. Frames can be supplied bare, or Deco Tech can provide stretch-and-glue screens, pre-sensitized screens and complete imaged screens through its in-house screen making department.
Yes. Specialty options include curved frames, drop-frame tabs for clearance, locator pins and bushings for repeatable setup, and small machined frames made from solid aluminum stock for unique part geometries.
The right profile depends on the finished frame size, image area, desired mesh tension and how the frame mounts in the press. Larger frames and higher tension generally require more resistance to bowing or deflection. Deco Tech can review the application and recommend a suitable profile.
Provide the required outside frame dimensions, machine model or clamp arrangement, print area, part description, preferred mesh information if known, quantity and any clearance or specialty geometry requirements. Photos or drawings are helpful for unusual applications.
Typical lead time is two weeks or less for many custom frame orders, although timing depends on frame size, quantity, profile and any specialty machining or geometry required.
We can help determine the frame profile, construction and specialty features needed for your screen printing process.
Looking for the most reliable welded aluminum screens for your screen printing needs? Deco Tech Group offers premium aluminum screens designed to deliver precise, consistent, and durable performance for professional screen printers.
Here at Deco Tech we manufacture custom screen frames for stretch & glue screens made from special extruded aluminum tubing...
Frames Type: Welded Aluminum Screens
Here at Deco Tech we manufacture custom screen frames and stretch & glue screen mesh and these are made from special extruded aluminum tubing with wall thicknesses ranging from .063” up to .125” and special heavy-duty construction with .140/.080” (vertical wall/horizontal wall). We also offer complete screen making and imaging services to provide a turnkey solution for your printing needs. See chart for specific profile sizes available. We have profiles as small as .75” square and as large as 5” (W) x 1.75” (H). We can manufacture virtually any size aluminum screen frame and we provide custom screens for plastic and glass bottles, jars, tubes and various other containers, textiles, electronics & membrane switches, sporting goods, ASI products, automotive, medical products and much more. We also can fabricate small frames out of solid aluminum stock with custom features to print around a raised lip.
We also build custom frames for printing on handled goods such as coffee mugs. We can build screen frames that are flat and custom frames that are curved for printing over a radius. Furthermore our screen frames can be equipped with “drop frame” tabs (to drop the frame below the clamps for applications where clearance may be a problem and they can also be outfitted with locator pins/ bushings to allow for use of a copy plate system which allows for fast press set-ups with virtually no need for image alignment (best in dedicated print jobs). Please contact your customer service rep to request a quote on our custom screen frames. Lead time is typically 2 weeks or less.
We offer aluminum tubing with wall thicknesses ranging from .063” to .125”, as well as heavy-duty construction profiles up to .140” vertical / .080” horizontal wall thicknesses. Frame profiles are available in sizes as small as .75” square and up to 5” wide × 1.75” high. See our full profile chart for more sizing details.
Tailored for Your Application
Whether you’re printing on plastic or glass bottles, jars, tubes, electronics, textiles, membrane switches, automotive components, or medical products—we can fabricate a frame to fit. We also offer:
