Absolutely. Whether digital print of particular pattern or even wood grain decors selected off a range of real natural wood veneer samples presented by Lamex Laminate or any of its dealers/distributors, the same can be developed into printed paper with extreme high resolution and, upon customer’s request, the same décor can be kept exclusive to the same customer. Lamex Inc commits not to sell the same décor developed in this way to any other customer. Usually custom developed decors are sold in MOQ’s which normally are not large just to maintain economical offering.
In case of custom-made wood grain décor paper and/or in case of Laminflex ,absolutely.we can surely supply the sheets to book-match on the entire elevation whether in the vertical direction por the horizontal.
In case of ENVY Interior Compact, we can surely do but in that case, the boards must be supplied cut -to -size by either Laminate or any of its agents/distributors.
The answer is yes in case of real wood veneer faces (Lamiflex and ENVY), but in standard décor paper, the grain direction must follow the standard offering of the concerned product.
Without doubt, one of the major selling points of Envyflex and Envy after being faced with real natural wood veneer is the possibility of perfect site repair and finishing using Lamex fantastic coatings. A light sanding paper and a brush(or a small roller) can do the trick.
