What should I consider when selecting bookcase edge banding?

Edge banding covers the exposed particle board or MDF core on shelf and panel edges. Commercial bookcases should have PVC edge banding of at least 1 mm thickness (2 mm preferred) on all visible edges to prevent moisture absorption, chipping, and delamination. 3D edge banding profiles add a seamless, high-end look.
