Lab specs mean nothing if the product fails on your production line. We test every batch under real conditions.

Edge sealing test showing clean trimming result with no white line

Edge Sealing Test

No white line after trimming -- clean cut guaranteed. Every color tested on standard edge banding machines before batch approval.

✔ Pass -- Zero White Line
Folding test demonstrating edge banding flexibility with no cracking

Folding Test

Unbreakable after 20+ folds -- superior flexibility. Tested at room temperature on thickness ≤ 1.5 mm samples.

✔ Pass -- 20× No Crack
PET mirror foil gloss and scratch testing with measurement equipment

Gloss & Scratch Test

PET mirror foil gloss measured at ≥ 90 GU (60°). Scratch hardness verified at ≥ 2H pencil standard. Consistent quality across every production batch.

✔ Pass -- 90 GU · ≥ 2H
Color match testing using spectrophotometer under D65 illuminant to verify ΔE ≤ 1.0

Color Match Testing

Every batch verified with spectrophotometer under D65 standard illuminant. Edge banding AND surface foil must achieve ΔE ≤ 1.0 -- documented per shipment.

✔ Pass -- ΔE ≤ 1.0

Color Lab

CHROMAVISION PRO --
OUR COLOR VERIFICATION SYSTEM

We don't estimate color. We measure it.

Our in-house color lab uses the ChromaVision PRO spectrophotometer system to verify every color match under D65 standard illuminant. Every edge banding color is measured against its corresponding surface foil -- ensuring ΔE ≤ 1.0 not just between batch and standard, but between edge and surface.

Industry-standard daylight simulation for color measurement
