Abstract: A method for producing a cellular window covering product includes the steps of pleating a continuous length of material, bonding together opposing faces on one side of the product to form a series of enclosed cells, bonding together opposed faces on the other side of the product to form another series of enclosed cells, and removing creases from one side of the product to open one of the series of enclosed cells while the other series of enclosed cells remains intact and connected. The creases may be removed by abrading the material along the creases. The opposed faces may be bonded by applying a bead of adhesive to one of the faces and compressing the faces together. Also provided is a window covering having an expandable and collapsible body. The body has a number of strips of material that are creased in the center parallel to the long edges, which are joined together to form a tab. Each of the strips of material define an elongated cell bounded by the creased fold on one side and the tab on the other.
