There are two main kinds of paper machine clothing: clothing for the wet and clothing for the dry end. The development of monofilament forming fabric, or plastic thread wires which could stretch and snap, made the higher speeds and increased productivity possible of today's machines. A monofilament fabric usually lasts at least several months before maintenance is required.

The clothing for the wet end is usually called polyester forming mesh, because the first wires were made of woven wire. One of the first innovations of the polyester mesh was a staggered weave that eliminated the problems of wires hanging up or freezing in the suction boxes. Another important early innovation was the welded seam which replaced hand-woven seams. This eliminated the visible line created each time the seam made it way around the moving wire.

Dry end clothing is usually made of felt. Felt is the fabric used to pick the wet stock off the wire. It also acts as a blotter, soaking up water, in the press section of the machine. The felt usually passes between a series of press rolls which squeeze out more water. This kind of paper machine clothing can also be used in the multiple dryer section.
