How Can You Store Your Edge Bandings?
in order to maintain and store edge banding, here are the answers to some of your common queries about edge banding.
How long can edge banding be stored? Veneer edgings and end grain veneer should be stored in a tightly sealed plastic bag. This prevents them from drying out and becoming brittle. The manufacturer’s guarantee for plastic edgings is 1 year. Under ideal storage conditions ABS edgings have a significantly longer storage life.
Stacking edge banding The best temperature for storage is a constant room temperature of 17-20 degreesC. Edging should be stored away from dust and it should be protected from spray and UV light at all times.

Seasonal effects In winter newly delivered edgings have to adjust to the cooler temperature as it’s more frequently the case that edgings stick badly. The reason is that boards and/or edgings are stored too cold. The glue sets too quickly through the application of adhesive on the cold surface. This leads to poor adhesion. Therefore, newly delivered boards and edgings should be stored at least 24 hours at room temperature before being processed.
Therefore, if you can store and maintain your edge bandings in the manner that is mentioned above, it is good to go for a long time.
