Thickness or gauge for Perforated Metal Sheet 
Thickness of the metal sheets do not change during the perforation. Normally thickness is expressed in gauge. However, to avoid possible misunderstanding, we would suggest expressing them in inches or millimeters. 

Width and length for Perforated Metal Sheet 
The most common width and length are as following 
1000mm x 2000mm 1220mm x 2440mm 1250mm x 2500mm 
1250mm x 6000mm 1500mm x 3000mm 1500mm x 6000mm

Other hole patterns and hole arrangements can be custom made. 
Round hole, 60° , staggered 
Round hole, 45° , staggered 
Round hole, straight row 

Cutting & folding for Perforated Metal Sheet 
Rongde metal can do cutting and folding after perforating. 

Finish for Perforated Metal Sheet 
Rongde  metal can do the following finish according to customers' requirements. 

Natural finish for Perforated Metal Sheet 
Most of the perforated sheets are required to be natural finish no matter what kind of material they are. 

Oil spraying or Perforated Metal Sheet 
Some customers prefer the carbon steel perforated sheets to be oil sprayed to avoid the possible rusting because of the moisture during the long time sea shipping. 

Powder coating for Perforated Metal Sheet 
Rongde metal can do different colors powder coating, but minimum quantity might be required for some special colors. 

Packing for Perforated Metal Sheet 
Wooden pallets. 1 ton - 2.5tons (2200 lbs to 5500 lbs) per pallet. Each pallet will be packed by plastic bag.
