Wide-Format ABS Edgebanding For Thick Panels and Tall-Edge Applications
This SM'art ABS edgebanding in color SMIT03 Torino is the wide-format option in the SM'art matching edgebanding program, sized for panels thicker than 19 mm, post-formed edges, or any application where a standard 23 mm band leaves too little overhang to trim clean. At 65 mm wide and 328 feet per roll, it covers the full edge of a solid-core or stacked panel and delivers the Italia surface character across every linear foot.
Key Features
- 65 mm width provides generous overhang on thick panels and post-formed profiles, giving the trimmer room to clean up both faces without chasing the edge.
- 328-foot production roll keeps a shop running through a full casework run without a mid-job roll change.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, dimensionally stable, and holds color and gloss consistently from the first pull to the last.
- Italia finish matches the SM'art collection's Italia-family decors, so the edge reads as a continuation of the panel face rather than a contrast strip.
- SMIT03 Torino color is a stocked SM'art decor coordinated with matching TFL panels in the same program.
Where This Width Earns Its Place
A 23 mm band is the default for 19 mm stock, but it is not the right tool for every edge in the shop. When a design calls for a thick structural shelf, a laminated door blank, or a post-formed edge that curves past the face plane, the band needs more width to stay on the edge and leave enough material to trim. The 65 mm width solves that without requiring a custom order. It also serves shops that run mixed-thickness work and want one banding SKU that handles every panel in a color without substituting a different roll. For a shop working through a full run of SM'art Torino casework, this roll covers the thick parts while matching edgebanding in narrower widths handles standard-thickness carcass stock in the same color.
Material and Surface Character
ABS polymer is the standard material for European decorative panel edgebanding because it is chlorine-free, which keeps it clear of specifications that exclude PVC, and because its dimensional stability allows the tight color and gloss matching the SM'art program depends on. The Italia finish on this banding corresponds to the Italia surface family within the SM'art collection: a specific emboss and sheen level chosen to align with the panel face it accompanies. Torino is a stocked color, so the banding and its matching panel ship from inventory rather than on a special-order timeline.
Who Reaches For This Roll
Cabinet shops running SM'art Torino on any component thicker than standard carcass stock will keep this roll on hand as the companion to their narrow-width banding. Millwork operations handling commercial fixtures, store casework, or institutional shelving often run panels in a range of thicknesses within the same color program, and having the 65 mm roll available prevents a mismatch at the edge of a thick part. Designers specifying a SM'art Italia-finish color for a project that includes both standard panels and structural elements can call out this SKU with confidence that the surface character will be consistent across every visible edge.
Does this banding come pre-glued, or does it require a hot-melt edgebander?
This roll is not pre-glued. It is intended for machine application with a hot-melt glue system, the standard for a 328-foot production roll at this width.
What panel thickness does a 65 mm band typically cover?
The 65 mm width trims cleanly on panels well above 19 mm, including stacked or structural substrates. It is also used on post-formed profiles where the edge curves past the face plane and a narrower band would not reach.
Is matching edgebanding available in narrower widths for standard 19 mm SM'art Torino panels?
Yes. The SM'art program offers matching ABS edgebanding in 23 mm and 43 mm widths in addition to this 65 mm roll, all in SMIT03 Torino. The 23 mm width is the standard choice for 19 mm carcass panels.
Can ABS edgebanding be used in projects where PVC is restricted by specification?
Yes. ABS is chlorine-free, so it satisfies specifications that exclude PVC banding. Confirm the project specification's exact language, but ABS is the material chosen precisely because it clears those requirements.
One Color, Covered Edge to Face
When the edge and the face match in color, texture, and sheen, the panel reads as a finished component rather than a faced board. This 65 mm roll gives a shop the wide-format option in SM'art Torino, so a thick shelf, a structural divider, or a post-formed door edge carries the same Italia character as the panel it belongs to.
