Scaling from Prototypes to Production: How Low MOQ Perforated Mesh Supports OEM Innovation

OEM suppliers today face a fast-evolving production cycle—where market feedback, pilot batches, and design tweaks happen in weeks, not months. Perforated screening mesh with low minimum order quantities (MOQ) is more than a prototype solution. It has become a strategic tool that bridges R&D and scalable production across lighting, automotive, electronic, and HVAC industries.

From Sample to Scale – The Smart Transition

Initial orders of 50–200 pieces allow OEMs to run pre-launch campaigns, evaluate installation tolerances, and perform customer tests. Our mesh solutions provide:

• Hole pattern revisions after batch 1 without mold change

• Quick CAD-to-CNC transition with real-time DFM review

• Multiple hole types per order (e.g., round + slot)

Use Case: Automotive Fog Lamp OEM – USA

The client requested black-coated stainless mesh for fog lamp vents with high open rate. They placed 3 trial orders of 100, 300, and 600 pcs across 2 months. Each revision improved mold gap tolerance and edge fold compatibility.

Benefits:

• CAD-to-CNC adjustment in under 6 hours

• Open area fine-tuned from 42% to 50%

• Panel pass rate increased from 94% to 100%

Mixed Mesh Strategy: Multi-Part OEM Orders

We support combined shipments including 3–4 mesh part types in one PO. This is especially helpful for HVAC frame suppliers needing side wall vents + central perforated filters in one package. Services include:

• Mixed-batch laser labeling for part ID

• Edge treatment customization by part type

• Bundled packaging with QR label traceability

Case Study: Australian Industrial Box OEM

They required aluminum mesh panels for 7 enclosure sizes. Panels had slot holes, flanged edge folds, and matte gray powder finish. Order was delivered in 14 days in mixed crates with barcode scan sheet included.

Extra service: Each panel engraved with OEM logo via fiber laser marking.

Surface Finishing & Anti-Counterfeiting

• Powder coating in custom RAL shades

• Anti-scratch film on both sides during shipment

• Laser-etched part number or customer logo

All parts pass appearance QC per ISO 2768-mK tolerance class and ROHS-compliant finish standard.
