Short-Run ABS Edgebanding For Panels That Need a Clean Finish Edge
This SM'art ABS edgebanding in color SMM023 Epic ships as a 54-foot roll at 43 mm wide and 1 mm thick, sized for the shop that wants the right amount for a focused run without committing to a full production roll. The Manhattan finish coordinates with the SM'art decorative panel program, so the cut edge reads as part of the surface rather than an afterthought.
Key Features
- ABS polymer construction is chlorine-free, clearing specifications that exclude PVC from cabinet interiors and commercial work.
- 43 mm width provides enough overhang on a 19 mm panel to trim both faces flush and still leave a clean result.
- 54-foot short roll suits single-job runs and small-shop inventories without the waste of a 328-foot production coil.
- 1 mm thickness gives the edge real substance and handles the minor impact a cabinet edge takes in daily use.
- Manhattan finish in color SMM023 Epic is matched to the SM'art panel collection so face and edge share the same decor.
Where This Roll Fits in a Workflow
A 54-foot roll is the right call when the job is one run of cabinets, a set of closet components, or a batch of shelving that does not justify pulling a 328-foot coil off the rack. The 43 mm width works across the thickness range a typical shop runs through in a week. Apply it with an edgebander or, on short site-repair work, with an iron and a trimmer. The ABS material bonds reliably with standard hot-melt adhesive and trims without chipping, which keeps the edge clean on visible cabinet faces where a rough trim would show.
Material and Finish Details
ABS edgebanding has earned its place in European panel programs for two reasons: it is chlorine-free, and it holds color and gloss match better than most alternatives at this thickness. The Manhattan finish is a surface character within the SM'art collection, and SMM023 Epic carries it in a specific decor. Because the banding comes from the same program as the panels, the texture and sheen at the edge align with the face rather than reading as a close approximation. At 1 mm, the band is thick enough to survive a knock without lifting or cracking, and thin enough that a trimmed edge does not look built up.
The Shops This Roll Is Built For
Cabinet shops specifying the SM'art collection who want to keep the color consistent across face and edge will find this the straightforward choice. Designers and contractors completing a run of SM'art-faced components mid-project can pick up a 54-foot roll without overbuying. The short roll format also makes sense for a shop trialing a new decor before committing to production quantities, since the investment is proportional to the test run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this edgebanding sold with adhesive already applied?
This roll is not pre-glued. Apply hot-melt adhesive through an edgebander or use a separate iron-on adhesive for site work. Pre-glued rolls are a separate product.
Why choose ABS over PVC banding for this application?
ABS is chlorine-free, which is a requirement in some commercial and institutional specifications. It also holds color fidelity well at this thickness, which matters when matching a printed decor panel face.
Does this 43 mm width work on panels thicker than 19 mm?
Yes. At 43 mm the band covers panel thicknesses up to roughly 38 mm with enough overhang to trim both faces. For very thick panels, confirm your edgebander can handle the width before running the roll.
Can I order a longer roll of this color?
The SM'art collection edgebanding is also available in a 328-foot production roll in this color and width. Check the catalog for the corresponding SKU if the job volume justifies the larger coil.
One Edge That Belongs With the Panel
A finished panel deserves an edge that was made to match it. This 54-foot roll of SMM023 Epic in Manhattan finish closes the cut edge cleanly and keeps the SM'art color story intact from face to edge.
