Swarovski Crystal Mesh
Swarovski crystal mesh is a flexible carrier with genuine Swarovski crystals pre-set into a metal or netting base, designed for fast, large-scale surface coverage on garments, costumes and accessories. Cut to size and shape, then stitched, glued or heat-bonded in place, it delivers the sparkle of hundreds of individually set stones without applying each one by hand. Ideal for bridal and occasion gowns, couture, stage costumes and luxury accessories, supplied in both hotfix and non-hotfix formats.

What Is Swarovski Crystal Mesh?
Swarovski crystal mesh (article 40000) is a flexible metal mesh carrier with integrated loose crystal chatons, held in a fine mesh or netting base that flexes and follows the contours of a surface. Because the crystals are pre-set into the carrier, mesh covers large areas quickly and evenly, making it the professional choice where stone-by-stone application would be impractical. The mesh can be cut to any size or shape with scissors, then applied by stitching, gluing or heat-bonding depending on the version.
Hotfix and Non-Hotfix Crystal Mesh
Crystal mesh is available in two formats. Hotfix crystal mesh has a heat-activated adhesive backing and is applied with a heat press or professional applicator, bonding directly to fabric. Non-hotfix crystal mesh has no adhesive backing and is hand or machine-sewn, or bonded with an external crystal adhesive, making it suitable for surfaces and materials where heat is not appropriate. Both formats use the same genuine Swarovski crystals set into the flexible carrier.
Sizes, Finishes and How It Is Supplied
Swarovski crystal mesh is supplied as standard sheets measuring 500 x 200mm, using PP21 (2.7 to 2.8mm) chatons across a comprehensive range of Swarovski crystal colours. Casing finishes include brushed silver and further metal tones to match the crystal and the design. If you need a smaller quantity, crystal mesh can also be ordered by the row using the Crystal Mesh Request Form rather than a full sheet. Crystal mesh is a made-to-order line, so a lead time of up to approximately four to six weeks applies, with the current dispatch time shown on each product page.
