Introduction to Expanded Metal Mesh Wholesale Pricing
As a leading metal mesh manufacturing enterprise with over 20 years of export experience, we at ANPING METAL MESH understand that expanded metal mesh wholesale price is the core concern for global distributors, contractors, and industrial buyers. In this comprehensive guide, we break down all cost factors, specification options, and purchasing strategies to help you secure the most competitive wholesale prices without compromising quality.
Expanded metal mesh is one of the most versatile metal products in industrial and architectural applications. Unlike welded mesh or woven mesh, it is made by slitting and stretching solid metal sheets into a one-piece diamond pattern, offering superior strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. For bulk buyers, understanding the wholesale pricing structure is critical to optimizing procurement budgets and ensuring long-term supply stability.
Our factory, located in Anping County – the Wire Mesh Capital of China, produces over 50,000 square meters of expanded metal mesh monthly, exporting to more than 50 countries worldwide. We provide transparent wholesale pricing, flexible MOQs, and full customization services to meet diverse client needs.

Key Factors Affecting Expanded Metal Mesh Wholesale Price
1. Raw Material Selection
The base material is the primary driver of wholesale pricing. We offer multiple material options with different cost levels:
- Low Carbon Steel (Q195/Q235): Most economical choice, ideal for general industrial applications
- Stainless Steel 304/316/316L: Higher cost, excellent corrosion resistance for harsh environments
- Aluminum Alloy (5052/6061): Lightweight, medium cost, perfect for architectural decoration
- Copper/Brass: Premium materials, decorative and conductive applications
- Titanium: High-performance material for specialized industrial use
2. Sheet Thickness and Product Specifications
Thickness directly impacts material consumption and production difficulty. Our standard thickness ranges from 0.3mm to 3.0mm (0.012" to 0.118"), with micro mesh options from 0.3mm to 1.0mm (0.012" to 0.039"). Thicker sheets require more raw materials and stronger production equipment, leading to higher wholesale prices.
Opening size is another critical factor. Smaller openings require higher precision manufacturing. Our small hole expanded metal mesh with openings from 0.5mm×1mm (0.02"×0.04") involves more complex processing, which slightly increases the unit price compared to standard mesh.
3. Surface Treatment Options
Surface finishing adds functional and aesthetic value, with different cost implications:
- Electro-galvanized: Budget-friendly, basic corrosion protection
- Hot-dip galvanized: Superior rust resistance, moderate cost increase
- Powder coated: Wide color options, durable finish, medium cost
- Anodized: Premium aluminum finish, high corrosion resistance, higher cost
- Polished: Mirror finish for decorative use, highest processing cost
4. Order Quantity and Customization
Wholesale pricing follows economies of scale. Our standard MOQ is 10 square meters (negotiable for trial orders), with significant price reductions for bulk orders over 1000 square meters. Custom specifications (special sizes, unique patterns, non-standard materials) require mold setup and adjusted production lines, which affects the final wholesale price.
