BUILT AROUND YOUR FINISHED PRODUCT
Buy the plywood your workshop can use.
A cabinet face, a covered side and a shipping case need different panel choices. Put the finish, grade and construction beside the price.
CUZI supplies commercial plywood for furniture, interiors and general fabrication. Choose Bintangor, birch, Okoume or pine faces, with 3–30 mm panels, poplar, birch or eucalyptus cores, BB/CC or C/D face/back grades and E0/E1 options. Select the combination around the component you make.
Compare samples of the constructions that matter to your production, then build a mixed container with each item quoted separately. Your chosen face, back, core and finish stay connected to the sample, quotation and repeat order.
Start with the details you already have
Send the application, sheet size, thickness, quantity and destination. Add a drawing or reference photo for visible faces, exposed edges or machining. We can work through the construction and sample requirements as the quotation develops.
Guides for your construction, finish and cutting layout
- Plywood density and weight connects the veneer schedule, sheet mass and packed weights.

FROM A SHEET TO A SELLABLE PRODUCT
Choose around the work you do.
Furniture & cabinets
Match the face and cut core to cabinet sides, shelves and backs. Include the edging, hardware and machining your production line will use.
Interiors & shopfitting
Coordinate panels around visible surfaces, adjoining finishes and installation details. Identify the exposed faces and edges on the project drawing.
Distribution & fabrication
Build a stock mix around your regular dimensions, constructions and customer demand. Keep item codes clear for receiving, storage and repeat orders.
Compare a Bintangor face or pine face when a named veneer is part of the requirement. For selected natural veneers and matching layouts, explore decorative plywood.
Packing plywood: full sheets and cut case parts
PACKING PLYWOOD · SHEETS AND CASE COMPONENTS
Build the panel order around your packing case.
CUZI supplies packing plywood for case and crate components. Start with the contents, case drawing and handling plan, then choose the panel and quantities your packaging workshop will use. Bring sides, lids, dividers and base-panel requirements into separate order lines.
Choose thickness and fixings through the case drawing
Provide the contents and mass, case geometry, frame/support arrangement, fixing schedule and intended lifting, stacking and transport conditions. The chosen panel works within that complete case design. Trial the cut edge, joints and actual fasteners; include the packaging designer’s load or handling checks when they determine the selection.
Compare panels using the same case drawing and cutting layout. Record usable parts, assembly work and weight, then review the case’s loading requirements with the design team.
Export cases and ISPM 15: identify every wood component
ISPM 15 exempts packaging made wholly from qualifying processed wood material such as plywood produced using glue, heat or pressure. Identify any solid-wood frame, pallet, blocking or dunnage separately and confirm the complete package’s destination requirements with your packaging/export team.
Orders start at one container and can mix packing-panel items with other plywood or MDF. List quantities by construction and size. Regular board production guidance is 10–15 days; confirm any part-processing schedule with the quote and name the FOB shipment port or CIF destination port.

PLAN A CABINET AS A COMPONENT SET
Make each panel choice serve the finished piece.
A cabinet side, concealed back and visible shelf can have different face and machining requirements. Organize the schedule by component, then compare a shared construction with separately specified items.
- Cabinet side
- Record the visible and covered faces, lamination or coating, edge banding and hardware positions.
- Concealed back
- Include the cut size, groove or fixing detail, thickness fit and surface requirements for the assembled cabinet.
- Visible shelf
- Include the finish, exposed-edge appearance, support arrangement and the component trial you will run.
- Cutting layout
- Mark grain direction, accepted component dimensions and item codes so each face goes to the intended part.
- Price comparison
- Compare the same quantity and delivered scope, including processing and usable parts from the layout.
- Order reference
- Keep the selected construction, sample, drawing revision and pack label together for receiving and repeats.
If separate face selections suit the components, keep their item codes visible through storage and cutting. If one shared panel fits the complete set, compare the purchasing and production benefit with the quoted total cost.
Turn 500 cabinet sets into three purchasing lines.
For this planning calculation, each cabinet uses two 600 × 400 mm sides, one 800 × 600 mm back and one 580 × 350 mm shelf. The drawing calls for 18 mm sides and shelves and a 6 mm back. All three gauges sit within the confirmed 3–30 mm supply range; the finished cabinet design determines the required supports, joints and fit.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Order line | Parts to produce | 1220 × 2440 mm cutting count |
|---|---|---|
| Sides · 18 mm | 2 per cabinet × 500 = 1,000 sides, each 600 × 400 mm. | 3 across × 4 along = 12 per sheet. 84 sheets have geometric capacity for 1,008 sides. |
| Backs · 6 mm | 1 per cabinet × 500 = 500 backs, each 800 × 600 mm. | 2 across × 3 along = 6 per sheet. 84 sheets have geometric capacity for 504 backs. |
| Shelves · 18 mm | 1 per cabinet × 500 = 500 shelves, each 580 × 350 mm. | 3 across × 4 along = 12 per sheet. 42 sheets have geometric capacity for 504 shelves. |
The cutting counts allow a 5 mm trim on every sheet edge and a 3 mm kerf between parts. The longer part dimension follows the sheet length and face grain; each component is cut in its own pattern. This totals 126 sheets at 18 mm and 84 sheets at 6 mm, covering 625.128 m² of purchased panels. Surface defects, production rejects and a stock reserve are additional to this geometric count.
If the side and shelf constructions are identical, a combined nesting plan may use the 18 mm sheets differently. Recalculate the real part layout before consolidating quantities. The mixed-order schedule keeps the component codes attached to the final full-sheet or cut-part order.
Consolidate only the details your production can share.
- Same purchasing item: face/back species and grade, inner-layer schedule, thickness/tolerance, bond/emission requirements and supplied surface treatment are the same.
- Separate component references: the part dimensions, grain arrows, edge treatment, hardware positions and drawing revision remain identifiable after cutting.
- Separate offers: keep a different face, reverse, core, thickness or finish as its own price line. Trial that alternative with the affected component before replacing the shared item.
A shared panel can simplify stock and machine setup. Separately selected faces or thinner concealed backs can serve a different cost target. Compare both schedules through the completed cabinet: purchasing, usable cuts, finishing, assembly, rework, storage and the quantities left over.

FAQ
Commercial plywood buying questions.
What should a furniture-grade or cabinet-grade plywood quote identify?
Name the face/back species and grade pair, grading basis, visible and covered surfaces, core schedule, dimensions and finished tolerance. Include the coating or laminate, cut edge and hardware trial so the offered item follows the actual furniture component.
Should I use BB/CC or C/D for covered panels?
Compare them under the actual laminate or veneer rather than choosing by the letters alone. Specify permitted repairs and surface preparation, then trial the finish and cut edge on the same component. Keep the chosen grade pair and physical reference with the item.
Can I mix faces and grades in one container?
Yes. Keep each face species, core, thickness, format and BB/CC or C/D grade pair as a separate item code. Send quantities by item and retain the selected sample references for repeat stock and workshop use.
Can CUZI supply packing plywood for cases and crates?
Yes. Use the Commercial Plywood range for full sheets, with the face/core, thickness, grade and bond selected around your case drawing. Give the contents, part dimensions, quantities and handling plan with the sample and quotation request.
Can I order cut plywood parts for a packing case?
Send the plywood construction and component list through the cut-to-size route. Include widths/lengths, grain direction, tolerances, quantities and requested holes, slots or edge preparation. The quotation identifies delivered parts and included processing.
How does ISPM 15 apply to a plywood packing case?
Qualifying packaging made wholly from processed wood such as plywood is exempt under ISPM 15. Identify solid-wood framing, blocking, pallets or dunnage separately and check the complete package’s destination requirements with the packaging/export team.
Can I request eucalyptus-core or combi-core plywood?
Yes. Name the required core with the face/back species, nominal thickness, size and intended use. The quotation identifies the proposed veneer species, layer arrangement and bond for that item.
How do I distinguish eucalyptus core from an all-eucalyptus panel?
Specify the inner core layers and face/back separately. For all-eucalyptus core, identify that requirement in the layer schedule. A throughout-eucalyptus panel also requires eucalyptus face and back.
Which veneer mix and ply count are used in combi plywood?
The mix, layer sequence, ply count and veneer thicknesses are confirmed for the proposed construction. Include the materials and component requirements you need, then compare a representative cut edge and workshop trial.
Does a combi or eucalyptus core give a fixed weight or performance rating?
If weight or performance matters to your part, ask for the proposed panel’s density and relevant test results. Include the required properties when requesting a sample.
What can commercial plywood be used for?
Furniture, cabinetry, interior partitions, shopfitting and general fabrication. Start with the component, then select the face, core, dimensions and bond requirements around its machining, finish and intended environment.
Which face veneers can I compare?
Explore Bintangor, birch, Okoume and pine plywood in this range. Name the face veneer when its appearance or finishing behaviour matters, and include the back face and core in the same specification.
What sheet sizes are regular?
Regular plywood sizes are 1220 × 2440, 1250 × 2500 and 1525 × 3050 mm. Sizes such as 1220 × 3050 and 1250 × 3660 mm are on request, along with other sheet formats and cut-to-size requirements.
Which thicknesses, cores and grades are available?
Commercial plywood is available in 3–30 mm with poplar, birch or eucalyptus cores. Face/back grade options are BB/CC and C/D, with E0 and E1 emission options. Select the combination for your component and include the required test method and destination in the inquiry. For a birch face, explore the birch plywood range.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum order is one container. Send quantities by face, construction, size and thickness so the quote can follow your stock or component schedule.
Can I mix different commercial plywood items?
Yes, mixed loads are available. Identify each construction and quantity separately, then agree the proposed bundle quantities and loading schedule with the quotation.
Are plywood samples free?
Samples are free; you pay courier freight. Sample freight is credited in full against your formal order. Include the desired face, core, thickness and the workshop process you want to trial.
How long does a regular order take?
Regular production takes 10–15 days, with shipping time additional. Your quotation confirms the schedule for the proposed construction, mix and processing requirements.
Can I request FOB or CIF pricing?
Yes. Name the FOB shipment port or CIF destination port and include quantities, packing and requested processing by item.
Can I view a plywood pre-shipment inspection report?
Yes. The ECQA inspection record contains measurements, workmanship and moisture checks, pack measurements, quantity records and photographs for 100% birch plywood in 21, 24 and 30 mm at 2500 × 1250 mm. The reported conclusion is PASS, with the check findings and quantity status retained in the file.
How do I plan inspection for a mixed commercial plywood order?
Give each face/core, grade, thickness and format its own item code. Agree appearance, dimensions, moisture and sampling criteria with the chosen sample and workshop requirements. Before dispatch, reconcile completed quantities and pack labels with the final packing list, and retain the report with the order and specification revision.
Which product documents should I request?
Request the face/core schedule, dimensions and tolerances, relevant product data and the bond or emission reports needed for your destination. Include required test methods and certification in the inquiry.
Can I use commercial plywood as structural sheathing?
For structural sheathing, follow the structural plywood route and provide the building specification, exposure, loading and installation requirements. Request the product properties, marking and acceptance documents needed for that project.
Are all commercial plywood panels moisture resistant?
No single exposure or bond rating follows from the category name. Specify the intended environment and required bond performance for the actual product being ordered.
Which guides can help me choose this panel?
