Frequently asked questions

Overview

Q: What is edgeband and why is it important?
A: Edgeband is a narrow strip of material used to cover exposed edges of cabinetry, shelving, and furniture components. It enhances aesthetics, increases durability, and protects vulnerable edges.

Q: What factors should I consider when choosing edgeband?
A: Consider the application, compatibility with your machinery, and visual qualities such as color, pattern, texture, and gloss.

Material selection

Q: What edgeband materials are available?
A: Common options include:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Versatile, machinable, available in various colors and patterns.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Sustainable, recyclable, heat-resistant, and easy to transition to.
PP (Polypropylene): Highly heat-resistant, eco-friendly, low shrinkage; ideal for high-speed production environments.

Q: Can I get specialty finishes in edgeband?
A: Yes. Finishes like mirror gloss, elegant matte, 3D, and metallic are available to complement standard embossing and gloss finishes through manufacturers who offer custom matching in your preferred material.

Color matching and accuracy

Q: How is color matching done accurately?
A: By using tools like colorimeters to measure Delta E (color difference), and by carefully balancing inks, gloss and substrate color.

Q: What is metamerism and how can it be prevented?
A: Metamerism is when colors look different under various lighting. To prevent it, manufacturers test and adjust inks and lacquers under multiple light sources.

Q: What tips should I follow for successful color matching?
A: A few steps include:

Choose a 2" wide x 10" long section of the board with the desired color and structure
Use wider edgeband samples for matching to capture full design detail
Match one formulation at a time and get approval before proceeding with others

Design and detail matching

Q: How does edgeband match intricate finishes like woodgrain or patterns?
A: Through a combination of substrate color, print wheels, embossing, and gloss. These elements work together to replicate the board’s texture and tone.

Q: What is substrate color and why does it matter?
A: It’s the base color of the edgeband polymer. It appears when the edgeband is cut and must blend with the board’s tone for a seamless look.

Q: What are print wheels used for?
A: They create woodgrain or pattern effects. Multiple wheels may be used to achieve authentic finishes.

Q: What is embossing in edgeband?
A: Embossing adds texture to the surface. It’s best applied while the material is hot for realistic results.

Q: How does gloss affect edgeband appearance?
A: Gloss influences color perception—higher gloss can make colors appear darker. It’s measured with a gloss meter.
