A PVC Edge Banded MDF Panel is a pre-finished engineered wood board (typically MDF) that features decorative surface lamination (such as melamine, acrylic, or PVC film) and is professionally edge sealed with matching or contrasting PVC edge banding. The PVC edge band is a thin strip of plastic material applied to the panel's sides using heat and pressure, giving the panel a seamless, finished look while protecting the edges from moisture, chipping, and damage.
This type of panel is widely used in modular furniture manufacturing, especially for wardrobe shutters, cabinets, drawer fronts, and shelving, where aesthetics, durability, and clean finishing are essential.
