07.02.2025

Introduction

In recent years, in addition to manufacturing products for the packaging industry, and in response to the growing demands of customers worldwide, New Edge Co., Ltd. has expanded its production to include upholstered furniture products. These products cater to a variety of customer needs, including office space partitions, café dividers, and home décor items such as upholstered bed frames for both adults and children.

By combining high-quality materials such as foam, fabric, and iron frames with aesthetically pleasing designs and skilled craftsmanship, New Edge has been providing durable, stylish, and customizable partition solutions to meet the diverse requirements of customers.

Through this article, we would like to introduce the production process of an upholstered furniture product, giving our customers a clearer insight into these new offerings from New Edge.

New Edge specializes in producing upholstered products such as office partitions and bed frames

Step 1: Understanding Customer Requirements

The production of upholstery partitions / furnitures begin with thorough communication with the client. New Edge provides three main customer solutions:

Following the customer’s design and drawings.
Offering design and material recommendations based on customer ideas for cost efficiency and enhanced functionality.
Providing complete solutions, where customers provide only the product specifications, and New Edge handles the design and production process.

By understanding the customer’s needs, including preferred materials, dimensions, colors, and functionalities, New Edge ensures the final product aligns perfectly with expectations.

Step 2: Material Selection

Choosing the right materials is crucial for creating high-quality partitions. New Edge offers a variety of options to meet customer preferences:

Core Material: Polyurethane (PU) foam is commonly used due to its lightweight, durable, and sound-absorbing properties. Depending on the application, New Edge can use PU foam with densities ranging from 20 to 60 kg/m³, or other materials based on customer requirements.

We provide a wide range of PU foam with densities ranging from 20kg/m³ to 60kg/m³ or customized PU based on customer's reqirements

Upholstery Material: A wide range of fabrics, including synthetic leather, polyester, and eco-friendly textiles, is available. Customers can choose colors, textures, and patterns that align with their space’s design aesthetics.
Frames and Accessories: Depending on the project, materials such as wood, aluminum, or steel may be used for structural support.

Step 3: Cutting and Shaping

Using advanced cutting machines, New Edge precisely shapes the core materials and fabric according to the specified dimensions. Modern CNC and die-cutting technologies allow for accurate cuts, ensuring uniformity across all pieces. Custom shapes and unique designs are easily accommodated, giving customers flexibility in their partition configurations.

Step 4: Foam Application and Adhesion

The PU foam is cut and adhered to the structural core using specialized adhesives. This step involves:

Applying high-quality adhesive to ensure a secure bond between the foam and the frame.
Pressing the foam firmly onto the base to ensure even adhesion and eliminate gaps.
Allowing the adhesive to cure, ensuring a strong and durable connection.

Step 5: Upholstery Process

The selected fabric or leather is carefully wrapped around the foam core:

Stretching and Alignment: The fabric is stretched evenly to avoid wrinkles or creases, ensuring a smooth finish.
Fixation: Industrial-grade staples or adhesives are used to securely attach the fabric to the frame.
Seam Finishing: Edges and seams are meticulously finished to enhance durability and aesthetics. New Edge’s professional linear stitching technology ensures precision and a polished appearance.
Water-Resistant Adhesives: New Edge uses specialized glue with water-resistant properties to prevent water seepage into the partition. This ensures the product remains durable and protected under various environmental conditions.

Step 6: Assembly and Frame Integration

If the partition includes a frame, this step involves attaching the upholstered panels to the frame. Modern tools and fixtures ensure:

Tight and secure connections.
Proper alignment of panels for stability and a seamless look.
For modular partitions, hinges, connectors, and other components are added to allow easy assembly and flexibility in configuration.

Step 7: Quality Inspection and R&D Testing

Every upholstery partition undergoes rigorous quality control to meet New Edge’s high standards. The process includes two key phases:

R&D Phase:

New Edge conducts tests on prototypes using modern equipment to evaluate performance under various environmental conditions, such as extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
These tests provide valuable insights into how the partitions will perform in real-world scenarios, enabling New Edge to offer the best advice on storage and usage for optimal longevity.

Quality Inspection:

Visual Checks: Ensuring the fabric is wrinkle-free, seams are clean, and colors match the design specifications.
Structural Integrity: Testing for stability and durability under simulated conditions.
Sound Absorption Tests: For acoustic partitions, sound-dampening properties are verified.

Any partition that does not meet New Edge’s quality standards is reworked or replaced to guarantee customer satisfaction.

Step 8: Packaging and Delivery

Once approved, the partitions are carefully packaged to protect them during transportation. New Edge emphasizes efficient and sustainable packaging solutions, reducing material waste while ensuring product safety.

Protective layers are added to prevent damage during transit.
Modular partitions are disassembled and packed in a space-efficient manner, reducing shipping costs.
The partitions are then shipped promptly to customers worldwide, including those in the UK and the US, with tracking provided for seamless delivery.
