How is PVC Decorative Film Laminated onto Furniture?
PVC decorative film is a material widely used for furniture surface decoration. It is bonded to panels (such as MDF, particle board) through a vacuum exhaust process, forming a smooth, wear-resistant, and waterproof surface effect. Below is the complete lamination process:
I. Preparation before Laminating
Substrate Treatment
Panel Selection: Commonly uses Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) or particle board, requiring a flat surface free of burrs.
Sanding/Polishing: Treat the substrate surface with sandpaper or a sander to ensure no unevenness or dust.
PVC Decorative Film Selection
Thickness: Typically 0.15~0.5mm, with 0.2~0.3mm commonly used for furniture.
Texture & Color: Wood grain PVC Decorative Film, marble grain, cabinet pvc film,solid colour peel and stick PVC Decorative wallpaper, etc., selected according to design requirements.
Adhesive Layer Type: Our Self Adhesive PVC Decorative Film has a pre-applied adhesive layer on the back and can be directly bonded.
II. Core Laminating Process Flow
Cleaning & Dust Removal: Thoroughly remove surface impurities to avoid air bubbles after film application.
Spreading the Film & Positioning
Spread the furniture PVC Decorative Film flat onto the panel, reserving a 3~5cm margin around the edges (for ease of subsequent trimming).
Use a ruler for preliminary measurement to prevent shifting.
Adhering, Smoothing, and Trimming
Adhere the film.
Use a squeegee to smooth the surface.
Use a manual trimming knife to remove the excess film material.
Inspection Items:
Is the surface flat, free of air bubbles, and free of scratches?
Are the edges and corners tightly fitted with no edge lifting?
