Technology creates life, and life originates from innovation. Nowadays, it has become a popular trend in the furniture industry. Customized homes have a more beautiful appearance, smoother color, and more diverse shapes than standard homes; If you have ideas and creativity, you can also DIY according to your own room layout. With so many advantages, customized panel furniture is naturally loved by consumers.

However, while making furniture production and processing more exquisite, how to save production costs or reduce them is the most concerned issue for furniture production enterprises. In fact, saving board materials is a fundamental and important aspect of panel furniture production, which is equally important as improving production efficiency, expanding production scale, and increasing sales efforts.

The specifications of artificial boards are basically in the imperial system (4 feet x 8 feet, 4 feet x 6 feet, etc., i.e. 1220mm x 2440mm, 1220mm x 1830mm). Panel furniture is made of artificial boards as raw materials. Therefore, if we determine the specifications of the components as 392, 95, 595, 195, etc., which are suitable for the specifications of the raw materials, it will improve the utilization rate of the boards and reduce waste.

However, if some styles of furniture are recognized by the market, but some of their component specifications may waste materials due to their shape, purpose, and other needs (such as the countertop of some office desks, which measures 1400mmx700mm). A 1220mm x2440mm board can only produce one countertop, which is a significant waste), then we cannot be dogmatic and should adjust its specifications as much as possible to make the size meet this specification.

2、 Starting from the thickness of the components

There are many habits in furniture production, both good and bad. For example, furniture in the north often has a habit of being coarse and heavy, habitually using thick and large boards, which is not conducive to the utilization of materials in some cases.

For the side panels of drawers, we commonly use 16mm and 18mm thick boards; But many manufacturers in the south have widely used 12mm thick boards in high-end furniture. Practice has proven that this size has withstood the test in terms of shape and strength.

By extension, some small shelves, partitions, and even side panels and top panels (such as cabinets) can be made of 12mm thin plates.

3、 Starting from the structure of the components

Many components, such as side panels, partitions, and top panels, require thicker boards for styling and use. In this case, thin boards cannot be used to save materials. However, we can use a cladding structure, commonly known as a "hollow structure", which first uses wood to make a wooden frame and then covers it with plywood. This approach not only saves materials but also reduces the weight of the components. However, some weight bearing components, such as the countertop of an office desk, should not use this structure.

There is also a type of hollow board with a core material made of high-strength honeycomb paper, which reduces the cost compared to hollow structures made of wood. In addition, there are structural techniques such as edging and false edging that can reduce the amount of materials used.

4、 Starting from the structure of furniture

5、 Fully utilize the remaining raw materials

6、 Starting from the quality of raw materials

7、 Fully utilize outdated raw materials

Old materials with outdated colors and patterns should not be stored in the warehouse for a long time. They can be fully utilized in furniture parts that are not visible, such as baseboards and partitions in cabinets.
