Power Mesh Specification Targets for Buyers
Setting Power Mesh correctly on a tech pack prevents most later disputes. Targets belong on the page before the first fabric sample.
Where to write it
Place Power Mesh next to composition and weight so all three are quoted as one package. Working figures for Power Mesh normally sit around 90-160 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Reference level
Typical activewear expectation: 90-160 GSM. Record elastane content alongside Power Mesh, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 90-160 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Tolerances that work
Allow a small tolerance rather than a fixed number, since normal process variation exists in every lot. Keeping reference values for Power Mesh lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with warp knit machine, since both affect the reading.
Verification method
Confirm with warp knit machine and keep the report against the bulk record. Working figures for Power Mesh normally sit around 90-160 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Commercial note
Tightening beyond practical need raises cost without improving garment life, so set the tightest target only where it protects the customer. Record elastane content alongside Power Mesh, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 90-160 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
