Edge Banding

What is Edge Banding?

Edge banding (also known as edge tape or edge strip) is a narrow strip of veneer, ABS plastic, or multi-ply material placed around the edges of panel sheets. In the cabinetry and furniture industries, manufacturers use edge banding to cover the exposed edges of raw panel substrates, such as MDF or particleboard. When decorative surfaces such as timber veneers, reconstituted veneers, and laminates are pressed onto the flat surface of raw sheets, the edges are left exposed. Edge banding is the trim that covers the raw substrate edge in-between the decorative surface, creating a seamless, professional finish. Manufacturers apply edge banding using heat or wood adhesives to ensure durability and longevity.

Benefits of Edge Banding

The benefits of edge banding are both aesthetic and functional. Visually, edge banding creates the appearance of a solid material or an illusion of solid timber, making finished pieces look more refined and professional. Functionally, it makes building materials more durable by sealing the exposed edge, which improves the sheets' resistance to moisture and protects edges from damage such as chipping and wear. Whether you're working on kitchen cabinets, office furniture, or custom joinery, quality edge banding ensures a polished result that stands the test of time. We offer veneer edge banding for natural timber finishes, ABS edge banding for high-impact applications, multi-ply edge banding for layered aesthetics, and edge banding specifically designed to match our reconstituted veneer range.
