The key to reducing the cost of customized panel furniture production

Panel furniture customization is a trend in the furniture industry. Its appearance is perfect, colors are smooth, and its shape design is diversified. It can be freely DIY according to the room layout. Many advantages make panel furniture the first choice of many people. According to users of furniture manufacturers, saving board is a basic and important aspect of reducing production costs, which is as important as improving production efficiency, expanding production scale, and increasing sales. To reduce production costs, we must pay attention to the following 7 points:

First: Start with the specifications of the components

The specifications of wood-based panels are basically all inch sizes (4 feet × 8 feet, 4 feet × 6 feet, etc., namely 1220mm × 2440mm, 1220mm × 1830mm). Panel furniture is made of wood-based panels. The specifications are determined to be 392, 95, 595, 195 and other sizes, which are compatible with the specifications and sizes of the raw materials, which will increase the utilization rate of the board and reduce waste.

However, it should be noted that if a certain style of furniture is recognized by the market, and some of its component specifications, due to the needs of shape, purpose, etc., will waste materials (such as the table top of some desks, the size is 1400mmx700mm) A sheet of 1220mmx2440nnn can only produce one table, which is a lot of waste), then we cannot be dogmatic, and we should adjust its specifications as much as possible to make the size meet this specification.

Second: Start with the thickness of the component

There are many habits in furniture production, and these habits are good and bad. For example, furniture in the north often has the habit of being heavy and heavy, and often habitually uses thick and large plates, which is detrimental to the use of materials in some cases.

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

By extension, some small laminates, partitions, and even side panels and top panels (such as head cabinets) can use 12mm thin panels.

Third: Start with the structure of the components

Many parts, such as side plates, partitions, and top plates, require thicker plates for modeling and use. At this time, thin plates cannot be used to save materials, but we can use a clad inlay structure, which is often said " "Hollow structure", that is, the wooden frame is first made of wood and then covered with plywood. This approach saves materials and reduces the weight of the components. However, some parts that bear weight, such as desk tops, are not suitable for this structure.

There is also a kind of hollow board, the core material is honeycomb paper with higher strength, and the cost is lower than that of the hollow structure of wood as the core material. In addition, there are structural processes such as edging and false edges, which can reduce the amount of materials.

Fourth: Start with the structure of the furniture

Furniture must have a stable structure, which is often referred to as "sturdy". Some furniture can still meet the requirements of "sturdy" after omitting certain parts.

When we examine many commonly used products in the past, we can find many parts that can be omitted. In addition, it is necessary to break through the conventional framework and design more novel, novel, and simple structured products.

Fifth: Make full use of the remaining raw materials

With the mass production of furniture, there will be many remaining raw materials that cannot be fully utilized. At this time, we should design some products suitable for these raw material sizes, and regularly produce some to the market. This is also an important way to save raw materials.

Sixth: Start with the quality of raw materials

We should try our best to use qualified plates in production, but sometimes due to various reasons, such as buying some plates with poor strength and uneven thickness, it is impossible to return at this time, and they can be used for low strength and thickness requirements. The inner layer board, active layer board, drawer back board and so on. But it should be noted that the appearance of the material must pass.

Seventh: make full use of outdated raw materials

Some old raw materials with outdated colors and patterns should not be left in the warehouse for a long time. You can make full use of the invisible furniture parts, such as the floor and the partitions in the cabinet.
