ABS Edgebanding For Small-Run Jobs in a Deep Matte Black
This SM'art collection ABS edgebanding in Noir (SMIN90) brings a finished edge to cut panels without committing to a production-length roll. At 43 mm wide and 54 feet per roll, it is sized for focused projects where one or two colors anchor the design and waste is not an option. The Intagli finish and 1 mm thickness coordinate with the SM'art panel program so face and edge read as a single surface.
Key Features
- SM'art collection color match: SMIN90 Noir is produced to coordinate directly with the SM'art decorative panel program in the same color.
- 43 mm width: Sized to cover and overhang a standard 19 mm panel edge, leaving material to trim flush on both faces.
- 54-foot short roll: Purpose-sized for smaller shops and focused runs that do not need a full 328-foot production roll.
- 1 mm ABS construction: Chlorine-free polymer that holds a precise color and gloss match while clearing specifications that restrict PVC.
- Intagli finish: The surface texture coordinates with the embossed relief of the SM'art panel face in this color family, so the edge transition does not break the pattern.
Where This Roll Fits in the Job
Noir is a decisive color choice, and a mismatched edge undermines it immediately. This roll is the component that closes the gap between a cut panel and a finished piece. It works on cabinet boxes, shelving, door panels, and display components wherever the SM'art Noir panel appears. The 54-foot length is practical for a one-room kitchen refresh, a custom closet with a handful of components, or a retail fixture built around a single dark palette. For larger production runs in this color, the 328-foot roll carries the same specification.
Material and Finish Details
ABS edgebanding is the standard for European decorative panel programs and for any job where the specification excludes PVC. The polymer is chlorine-free and dimensionally stable, which supports the color fidelity and gloss matching that a deep, flat Noir surface demands. The 1 mm thickness is the industry standard for a machined application, delivering enough body to survive edge trimming without bridging on tight radius work. The Intagli finish designation coordinates with the SM'art surface program, meaning the texture family at the edge carries through from the face rather than reading as a separate material.
Who Orders This Roll
Cabinet shops running a contemporary kitchen or wardrobe in a dark matte palette reach for this roll when their panel choice is SM'art Noir. Interior designers specifying a bold case piece for a residential or commercial interior use it to validate the finish across every visible edge. Smaller shops that work in focused color ranges keep the 54-foot format because it does not tie up capital in footage they will not use on a single project. Contractors finishing a feature wall or a run of built-ins in a single palette find the short roll matches their quantity to the job.
Does this edgebanding require a dedicated edgebander, or can it be applied by hand?
ABS edgebanding at 1 mm is designed for machine application with a hot-melt glue system. A light-duty benchtop edgebander handles it well. Hand iron application with pre-glued tape is a different product — this roll is unglued stock intended for an edgebander with a glue pot or cartridge system.
Is the 43 mm width the right choice for a 19 mm panel?
Yes. The 43 mm band overhangs a 19 mm panel edge by roughly 12 mm on each face, giving the trimmer enough material to clean up both sides flush. It is the standard width pairing for 19 mm stock in the SM'art program.
When would I choose the 54-foot roll over the 328-foot roll in this color?
The 54-foot roll suits a defined project — a single kitchen, a wardrobe run, or a feature case — where you can estimate your linear footage in advance and do not want leftover stock. The 328-foot roll is the better call for a production shop running Noir panels on an ongoing basis or across multiple projects in a season.
Will this banding match SM'art panels in Noir ordered at a different time?
SMIN90 Noir is a matched color in the SM'art program, produced to coordinate with the panel decor. As with any decorative panel program, natural batch variation is possible, so ordering panel and banding together for a single job is the safest way to ensure consistency.
The Right Finish on Every Edge
A dark, textured panel surface earns its impact only when the edge closes it out. This SM'art ABS edgebanding in Noir gives every cut edge the same color, texture, and finish character as the face, so the completed piece reads as one material from every angle.
