Wide-Format ABS Edgebanding For Thick Panels and Tall-Edge Applications
This SM'art collection ABS edgebanding in Olmo Miele (SM4565) is the 65 mm wide option in the matching program, sized for thicker panels or deep-edge profiles where a 23 mm or 43 mm strip would fall short. It ships as a 328-foot production roll at 1 mm thick, ready for a standard edgebander, and carries the same Timber finish texture and color as the SM'art decorative panel in this decor.
Key Features
- 65 mm wide ABS strip covers deep panel edges and oversized profiles with full-face material to trim flush.
- 1 mm thickness is the standard ABS gauge compatible with most automated edgebanders and manual edge machines.
- 328-foot production roll supports a high-volume run without a mid-job roll change.
- Timber finish in Olmo Miele (SM4565) matches the SM'art panel collection so face and edge read as one continuous surface.
- ABS polymer construction is chlorine-free, clearing specifications that restrict PVC in the build.
Where the 65 mm Width Pays Off
Most edgebanding jobs call for 23 mm. The 65 mm width exists for specific situations where the standard strip is simply not enough material. Thick laminated shelves, double-layered panel assemblies, and countertop nosing built from stacked boards all expose an edge deeper than a 23 mm band can cover. Cabinet shops working on commercial millwork with heavy-gauge panels, or cutting a wide decorative edge profile that requires overhang on both faces, pull the 65 mm roll for those runs. It also serves as a safety margin on jobs where the precise trim dimension is set at the machine rather than at the drawing.
ABS Construction and Finish
ABS is the preferred polymer for fine decorative edgebanding because its color and gloss hold through the extrusion process with enough consistency to match a printed panel face. Unlike PVC, ABS is chlorine-free, which matters on commercial and institutional projects where material restrictions are written into the spec. The Timber finish on this roll is the same surface family as the SM'art Olmo Miele panel — a warm, wood-grain texture with the tone and depth of the decor — so the banded edge does not read as an afterthought against the face. At 1 mm, the strip machines cleanly on a flush-trim bit or a scraper without leaving a visible glue line at the face transition.
Who Reaches For This Roll
Production cabinet shops specifying the SM'art collection throughout a project keep this roll alongside the standard widths so any edge condition in the job can be handled from the same color program. Commercial millworkers building thick-panel displays, reception counters, and library shelving find the 65 mm width eliminates the need to stack narrower strips or source a custom cut. The 328-foot roll length fits a production environment: a single roll covers a long run without a splice, and ordering by the roll keeps inventory simple for a shop that bills material against jobs rather than running a standing stockroom.
Will this banding actually match the SM'art Olmo Miele panel face?
Yes. The SM'art matching edgebanding program produces banding in the same decor as the panel, so SM4565 banding is made to coordinate with SM4565 panels. Color is a printed pattern and natural variation between a panel run and a banding extrusion can exist, but they are produced to match and will read as one color in normal viewing conditions.
Is there a short roll available in 65 mm for a smaller job?
The 65 mm width is offered in the 328-foot production roll only. Short rolls in the SM'art collection are available in the 43 mm and 54 mm widths. If a smaller quantity is needed in 65 mm, plan the order around a project that can consume the full roll.
What panel thickness is the 65 mm width designed for?
The 65 mm width provides enough material to cover panels significantly thicker than the standard 19 mm board, or to allow trimming on both faces with a wide overhang. It is commonly used on double-layer assemblies, thick display panels, and deep-profile edge treatments where narrower widths leave insufficient material after trimming.
Does ABS require different machine settings than PVC banding?
ABS and PVC run on the same edgebanding equipment but ABS typically requires slightly higher temperature settings because it softens at a higher point than PVC. Most edgebander manufacturers publish recommended temperature ranges for ABS — consult your machine manual and run a test strip before committing to a full production run.
The Right Edge for the Right Panel
When the edge is deep, the profile is wide, or the spec excludes PVC, this 65 mm SM'art ABS roll in Olmo Miele is the straightforward answer — color-matched, production-ready, and built from the same program as the panel it finishes.
