The process of punching holes or slots is called perforation. When a metal sheet is manually or mechanically punched to create a pattern on the sheet it is called a Perforated Metal Sheets. These sheets are used for various reasons in a number of industries. The most common perforation shapes are holes. These holes can be round, square, oblong or hexagonal.

During the process the material is stretched to create the perforation. The factors affecting the stretch are dependent on the size of the hole, pattern and the thickness of the material. It is difficult to set tolerances for the amount of stretch during the flattening of the material. A distortion may be created during this process near the end margins. Perforated plates are levelled using a roller as per the newest technology.

Edge bows may be seen on the Perforated Sheets with different side margins creating a deviation between the centre and the edge of the sheet. This deviation depends on the length, width, type of the material and the open area. Wavy edges may be observed if the sheets have wide margins or have uneven width on either side. There is a risk of incomplete or missing holes which depends on a number of reasons. This can be avoided by arranging the punches in staggered rows. A slight defect cannot be overruled.
