How to Position Printing Edge Banding on Chinese Furniture336

As a leading Chinese furniture edge banding factory, we have extensive experience in applying printing edge banding to a wide range of furniture pieces. The precise positioning of the printing pattern is crucial for achieving a professional and aesthetically pleasing finish.

1. Determine the Printing Direction

The first step is to determine the printing direction. This depends on the shape and size of the furniture piece and the desired visual effect. For straight edges, the printing can be oriented vertically or horizontally. For curved edges, the printing should follow the curvature of the edge.

2. Calculate the Printing Width

Next, calculate the printing width. This is the width of the edge banding that will be visible after application. The printing width should be slightly wider than the actual edge thickness to allow for small variations in the edge banding or furniture piece.

3. Mark the Printing Position

Once the printing direction and width have been determined, mark the printing position on the edge banding. This can be done using a pencil or a marking knife. The mark should be made on the side of the edge banding that will be facing outward when applied to the furniture piece.

4. Position the Printing Edge Banding

With the printing position marked, position the printing edge banding on the edge of the furniture piece. Align the edge of the edge banding with the mark made in the previous step. Ensure that the printing pattern is oriented in the desired direction.

5. Secure the Printing Edge Banding

Once the printing edge banding is positioned, secure it in place using a hot melt adhesive or a solvent-based adhesive. Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the edge banding and press it firmly against the edge of the furniture piece. Hold the edge banding in place for several minutes to allow the adhesive to set.

6. Trim the Excess Edge Banding

After the adhesive has set, trim the excess edge banding using a sharp knife or a trimming machine. Trim the edge banding flush with the surface of the furniture piece. Be careful not to damage the printed surface of the edge banding.

7. Polish the Edge Banding (Optional)

For a more polished finish, polish the edge banding using a fine-grit sandpaper or a polishing wheel. This will remove any rough edges and give the edge banding a smooth, glossy surface.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can accurately position printing edge banding on Chinese furniture and achieve a professional-looking finish. The precise positioning of the printing pattern will enhance the aesthetics of the furniture piece and create a visually appealing design.
