How do I place an order?
At Monster-Mesh, we like to work closely with you via email or phone to help you choose the right products and materials for your brand. That’s why we don’t offer the functionality to order directly through our website. Instead, you can place your order in four simple steps:
1. Send us your brief
Outline what you want your order to look like, sending over any relevant logos and/or image files Include your delivery address, invoice address and contact details so we can process your order faster.
2. Approve your artwork
We will check the artwork you’ve designed or create your artwork for free should you need us to. We then send you proofs for you to approve.
3. Arrange payment
Once you’re happy with the proofs, you will receive a proforma to complete payment online or via BACS.
4. High-visibility for your brand
Once payment is received, your order will go into production and is typically delivered within 7 working days. If you need your order sooner, please enquire about our express delivery service.
How do I pay for my order?
Once you’ve approved your artwork, you’ll receive an invoice to your email with a link to pay online. You can also make payment by bank transfer which is all detailed on your invoice.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit and debit cards are accepted or you can pay via bank transfer.
Can I pay over the phone?
Unfortunately due to GDPR, we cannot accept payment over the phone.

Can you do artwork for me?
Yes we can! If you don’t have any design experience or you’re not sure what you want your order to look like, we can help free of charge. Just give us a brief outline of your requirements, we’ll put you a design together and send it over for approval.
Do you send proofs before printing?
Whether we’re adjusting your artwork or creating it from scratch, we always send over a proof for you to check before going to print.
Do you keep artwork from previous orders?
If you’ve worked with us before, we will keep your artwork and branding on file to make it super-quick to process any repeat orders. If you’d like us to remove any artwork from our system, just let us know!
Do you supply artwork templates?
Yes, we have artwork templates for a range of products including:
- Heras fence covers
- Heras gate covers
- Heras fence banners
- Crowd barrier covers
- Feather flags
Products such as banners and backdrops are custom size meaning a template isn’t possible to create. If you need any artwork support, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
How do I send my artwork?
If your artwork and brand files are under 10Mb in file size, you can send them to info@monster-mesh.co.uk.

Can I use multiple designs?
When shopping Heras fence covers, crowd barrier covers or cafe barriers, you might want to use multiple designs to show different messages. Whether you want 1 or 1000 different designs, you won’t be charged any extra!
Will you check my artwork?
Yes, we always check artwork and let you know if there’s anything that doesn’t look quite right. We will then work with you to correct it and send proofs over before going to print.
The image looks fine on my end, why is it so pixelated now?
An image viewed on screen can look very different to the finished print depending on the finished size required. Images should always be a minimum of 50 DPI at finished print size.
Acceptable file types
When it comes to sending over your images and logos, below are the best file formats to use:
- Vector file formats – PDF,SVG,EPS,AI
- Image file formats – PNG,JPG
What resolution do images and logos need to be at?
To ensure your images and logos are printed to the highest quality, make sure your logos and text are vector files and your images are at least 50 dpi in resolution at print size.
What is a vector file?
A vector file is a digital based file that is basically a small, scalable, and editable image that can be increased to any size without losing quality or definition. Vector based files can be supplied as AI, EPS, PDF files.
What is image DPI?
DPI stands for ‘dots per inch’ – the number of little printed dots there are per inch of your image. The larger the DPI, the larger the number of dots and therefore the better print quality. We always ask for a minimum of 50 DPI at print size.
Can you match specific colours?
All of our products are printed in CMYK so design your artwork in this mode. For any artwork that isn’t CMYK, it will be automatically converted to CMYK which doesn’t guarantee an exact colour match.
Pantone® colours in artwork files will be automatically converted to CMYK. Any artwork with Pantone® references in the file won’t be colour matched unless requested within your quote.
It is worth noting that different print materials can produce slightly different colours compared to your design. Although this should be minimal, the slight difference can be due to different finishes, print methods, materials and temperature.
Can you print Pantone® colours?
Although matching a Pantone® colour is not a guaranteed process, we will do our best to try and match your Pantone® colour reference to a print colour.
How much does delivery cost
Delivery is free on orders over £250. This is applicable on all products except hoardings, which have a different delivery process.
Delivery charge on orders under £250 is typically £17.50 but it does depend on weight, volume and location. Get in touch and we’ll be happy to give you a delivery quote.

Is the delivery date guaranteed?
