Commercial Plywood

It grades the two faces separately: BB is the better face with limited, repaired defects suitable for a visible surface, CC is the reverse face where knots and patches are acceptable because it will be hidden. Order BB/CC when only one side shows, and specify the better face on the drawing.

Bintangor and pencil cedar are the economical choices for packaging and hidden structure. Okoume and keruing sit in the middle. Birch gives the smoothest, most uniform face and is the usual choice when the panel will be laminated or clear-finished for furniture.

One 20ft or 40ft container per product line. Mixed containers combining plywood, primed moulding and other wood products are welcome and are often how a new buyer starts, because it lets you trial two or three specifications without committing to a full container of each.

It depends on thickness, not on sheet count alone. A 40ft high-cube holds roughly 44–78 m³ of panels; as a working example, one of our shipments loaded 853 sheets of 21 mm film-faced plywood at 26,900 kg and 44 m³ in a single 40ft HC. Weight limits usually bind before volume does on thick panels.

FSC Chain-of-Custody, CE — EN 13986 plywood, CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI, AS 6669-2016 formwork plywood, CE marking — EN 13986. Certificates are issued per product and per mill, so we send the exact documents covering your order rather than a generic bundle — ask and we will match them to your specification.

Yes. Every wood order ships with plot geolocation in GeoJSON, batch-level traceability linking the container back to harvest areas, and legality documentation. That is the evidence your Due Diligence Statement is built from. Note that under the EU Deforestation Regulation the operator placing goods on the EU market files the DDS and carries the legal responsibility — we supply the evidence, you make the declaration.

Typically 30% deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or an irrevocable letter of credit at sight for larger programmes. For a first order we would rather agree terms that let you verify us cheaply than push you into a large upfront payment.

Packing plywood moves fastest; primed moulding with custom profile tooling takes longest because knives are cut to your drawing. Lead time also shifts with season and raw-material supply, so we quote a specific date together with the price rather than a generic range, and tell you early if it slips.

Yes. An EN 13986 entrusted test on 9 mm PF-resin plywood (report HJ-RD-25039, ICTT/Hongjun, April 2025) recorded bending strength 66.0 N/mm² parallel and 54.7 N/mm² perpendicular to face grain, density 0.70 g/cm³, moisture content 9.2% and formaldehyde emission 0.0273 mg/m³ — comfortably inside EU indoor limits. A separate SGS Vietnam chamber test on eucalyptus-faced plywood was completed in June 2026. Both reports are available on request for the products they cover.

Yes. You receive production photos and in-line QC records during the run, plus loading photos before the container is sealed. If you prefer an independent check, our Inspection Service performs on-site quality control on any cargo — including the panels made for your own order.
