There are often one or more specific requirements that are different from our stock sheets to meet customer requirements including:

- Thickness
- Sheet dimensions (width or length)
- Hole size, pattern and percent (%) open area
- Areas not perforated around or through the sheet (borders and margins)
- Finish (ie. #4 bright to #8 mirror, or PVC covered)
- Pattern orientation or direction
- Flanges (for hammer mill screens)
- Secondary services (anodize, powder coat, degrease, notching, mounting holes, bending)
