Camco has long been renowned for its customer service and excellence in the supply of both veneer and ABS edgebanding material. The company also offers a variety of other edgebanding options that are ideally suited to creating impressive and aspirational designs.
Working closely with its customers, Camco takes pride in meeting the ever-increasing demands of a challenging marketplace. In addition to its standard edgebanding products, Camco has a range of creative and desirable options for manufacturers.
“Regular edgebanding is of course a proven and highly practical way to finish the edges of furniture – but beyond the standard offerings, Camco has several alternative options worth further investigation,” says Camco’s David Phillips.
“Working with industry-leading manufacturers, we are able to provide the highest quality products both on time and on budget.”
Veneer edgebanding – thick veneer in rolls
Thick veneer rolls are constructed using several veneer layers of standard thickness (0.5mm) pressed together to form a sandwich to the desired thickness.
To produce thick edges, veneers are selected based on quality choice and colour coordination. Camco has a wide variety of finishes and veneers with widths ranging from 14 to 250mm.
David explains why thick edges in rolls are seen as the ideal substitute for solid veneer strips: “First quality veneer is used on the upper layer, thus ensuring the finest aspect of tonality and grain required. Also, thick veneer rolls are more flexible than solid veneer strips and continuous thick veneer rolls can be used on automatic edge banding machines.
“In addition, a roughened base layer ensures perfect adherence, and it offers better and easier conservation and storage possibilities. Importantly, endless thick veneer rolls ensure minimum wastage during the edging process.”
Solid end grain veneer edgebanding
By using Camco’s solid, end-grain edgeband, veneer boards have the natural look of a solid wood board, where even the growth rings can be clearly seen.
For the manufacture of this edgeband, Camco uses natural cross-cut veneer in 0.7mm foils. The resulting pieces are joined to form a roll. In addition, to strengthen that roll, a 0.5mm veneer under layer is added, thus obtaining a sandwich of 1.2mm thickness approximately. The top layer of the end grain tapes is always supplied sanded.
New PVC edgebands – stitch edgebanding
Stitch edgeband gives components a more realistic feel with the imitation of a double stitch.
Undoubtedly, stitched leather edgeband is a notable trend with a rich, unique texture and eye-catching look. It is ideal for decoration purposes, conferring an industrial, rustic or vintage aesthetic and also combines well with soft embossing.
Stitch edgeband designs have been created to match with melamine boards popularised by key manufacturers in the market.
Camco highlights this new edgeband as an ideal complement, which will enhance the elegance of leather and textile embossing of melamine boards. The stitch imitation embossed and not just printed on the edgeband emphasises realism in walk-in closets and wardrobes.
End grain embossed-in register edgebanding
Optics and haptics blend to get the perfect match. End grain embossed-in register edgebanding gives Camco customers an opportunity to stand out from the crowd.
As a result of the new production process, the embossed surface matches the printed wood grain design, giving a realistic solid wood look. The colours of the surface are applied into the different embossing heights, in this way obtaining a realistic wood effect, where the veneer texture can be seen and touched in the edgeband.
Camco recommends the use of this edgeband with melamine boards that have two tonalities in their surface. The company says a win-win design arises from combining this kind of melamine design with its synchronised end grain edgeband.
