How Edgebanding is Made

Ever wonder how Teknaform™ edgebanding goes from raw materials to the finished product you see on cabinetry and furniture? Our production process is a blend of science, precision, and quality control—designed to ensure consistent performance and appearance across every roll. Here’s a closer look at how it all comes together, step by step.

The process begins when one of our skilled technicians loads resin and color pigment into a high-temperature extruder. This machine melts the material and shapes it into the correct edgebanding substrate profile. It’s extremely hot at this stage—allowing the plastic to become pliable and take form. From there, the material enters a water bath, which rapidly cools the profile and locks the shape into place.

Next, the edgebanding moves through a primer station, where a specialized coating is applied to the back of the strip—this ensures superior adhesion when it’s later applied to panels. The material then passes through up to four colour stations, allowing us to print solids, woodgrains, and intricate patterns with exceptional accuracy. Finally, a top coat is applied, and UV light is used to cure the surface, sealing everything in and providing durability, resistance, and a consistent finish.

Once the product is complete, it’s spooled, neatly coiled for easy handling and application. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets our performance standards—and yours. It’s then boxed and labeled according to customer specifications, before being prepared for shipping.

From production to packaging, every step is executed with care—ensuring that when Teknaform™ edgebanding arrives at your door, it’s ready to perform. Interested in our products? Contact your sales rep today!
