Wide-Format ABS Edgebanding For Thick Stock and Heavy Panel Work
This SM'art collection ABS edgebanding in color SMIT06 Firenze covers the exposed edges of thick and large-format decorative panels with a color-matched Italia finish. At 65 mm wide, it is built for panel stock requiring generous coverage, from thicker carcass boards to stacked constructions where a narrower band would fall short of the face.
Key Features
- 65 mm width provides coverage for thick panel stock and double-layer constructions where a 23 mm or 43 mm band cannot reach both faces.
- 1 mm ABS material is chlorine-free, dimensionally stable, and suited to specifications that restrict PVC banding.
- 328-foot production roll keeps a high-volume shop running through a full color run without mid-job reel changes.
- Italia finish matches the SM'art collection's corresponding panel decor so the edge reads as a continuation of the face.
- SMIT06 Firenze color coordinates with SM'art TFL panels in the same decor for a consistent, finished appearance across the cabinet box and its edges.
Where 65 mm Edgebanding Earns Its Place
Most edgebanding decisions start with panel thickness, and 65 mm is the widest band in the SM'art program precisely because some jobs demand it. Stacked shelf nosings, thick drawer fronts, laminated countertop edges, and built-up panel constructions all present an edge taller than a standard 23 mm band can cleanly cover. Running a 65 mm band across those profiles closes the full edge in one pass, eliminates the need for a secondary strip, and keeps the color match consistent from the face through to the trimmed edge. The 328-foot roll is sized for production output, so a large run of panels in Firenze does not stall waiting for a new reel.
ABS Material and the Italia Finish
ABS edgebanding does not contain chlorine, which matters on projects where the specification document calls out PVC exclusions. Beyond compliance, ABS holds its color and dimension reliably through the heat and pressure of machine application, so the trimmed edge presents consistently across a long run. The Italia finish on this roll is matched to the SM'art panel program, meaning the surface character of the band aligns with the texture and sheen of the decorative face rather than reading as a separately sourced material.
The Right Fit for Production Cabinet Shops and Millwork Operations
A 65 mm roll at 328 feet is a production-scale buy. Small shops running a single thick-panel project may find a narrower width or shorter roll better sized to the job. This format suits cabinet shops and millwork operations that regularly work with thick substrates, built-up edges, or furniture-grade components where edge height exceeds what a standard banding width handles, and where stopping mid-run to load a new roll is a cost. Shops specifying across the SM'art collection can coordinate Firenze banding with matching SM'art TFL panels to hold color consistency across every visible surface of the finished piece.
Does this edgebanding require a specific adhesive or machine setup?
ABS banding at 1 mm applies on standard edgebanding machines using a hot-melt glue pot. The 65 mm width runs on machines sized to handle wider stock — confirm your machine's maximum banding width before loading this roll.
Is a matching SM'art TFL panel available in SMIT06 Firenze?
Yes. SM'art is a panel collection with matching ABS edgebanding, so the Firenze banding is designed to coordinate with SM'art TFL panels in the same color code. Order both from the SM'art program to keep face and edge consistent.
Why is 65 mm width offered when most panels are thinner?
Sixty-five millimeters covers stacked, laminated, or built-up panel edges that exceed what a 23 mm or 43 mm band can span. It is also used on thick drawer fronts, countertop edges, and furniture components where the visible edge height demands wider coverage.
Is this roll available in shorter lengths for smaller jobs?
The 65 mm width in the SM'art program is offered in the 328-foot production roll. Shorter rolls in the SM'art lineup are available in the narrower 43 mm and 23 mm widths. If a full production roll is more than the job requires, the 23 mm or 43 mm format may be a better fit depending on your panel thickness.
Consistent Color From Face to Edge, Every Run
Matching the edge to the face is the detail that separates a finished cabinet from a faced board — and SMIT06 Firenze banding in 65 mm makes that match reliable across thick-stock production work where narrower bands simply do not reach.
