  • Patent number: 8096904
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel net, in particular for sports, such as a volleyball net, tennis net or goal net, which can be provided with advertising or other information. Said net is characterized by a mesh structure that is formed by a film containing holes distributed over its surface. A film of this type can be printed before the holes are produced, thus enabling advertising or other information to be applied by simple printing presses.
