CUZI PLY birch plywood combines a selected birch face with the core construction required for the finished component. Choose birch-faced poplar or combi panels for value-led furniture, calibrated hardwood-combi construction for repeat cabinetry and CNC work, or a high-ply all-birch option for visible edges and precision parts. Available in 3–40 mm, with face grade, moisture, density, bond, tolerances, machining and export packing stated in the quotation.
Choose the utility, calibrated or all-birch option according to surface finish, exposed edges, machining consistency, panel weight and budget.
Select a pale birch face over a disclosed poplar or combi core for value-led furniture components.
Combine BB/CP or BB/BB birch faces with a calibrated combi, hardwood, eucalyptus or selected birch core.
Use selected birch faces and a high-ply all-birch or buyer-approved precision core where exposed edges and machining consistency justify it.
The sample set compares birch-faced poplar, calibrated combi and high-ply all-birch constructions for different appearance, weight, edge and machining requirements.
Which face grade, colour range and permitted repairs suit the final finish?
State the face/back grade and approve a physical surface sample under the intended finish.Which core provides the required weight, edge appearance and fixing performance?
Choose poplar, combi, hardwood, eucalyptus or all-birch and record the full veneer sequence.Which cutting, drilling, routing and exposed-edge operations will be used?
State the tolerances and check the selected construction on a representative first component.Will the panel be clear-finished, stained, painted or overlaid, and will the edges remain visible?
Match sanding, colour range, repairs and edge treatment to the finished component.A complete order states the face and back grade, core species, veneer sequence, ply schedule, permitted repairs, gap limits and approved appearance.

Before the purchase order
The quotation states the birch face and back together with the selected poplar, combi, hardwood, eucalyptus or all-birch core. It also records the veneer sequence, ply schedule, edge appearance and permitted gaps or repairs.
Poplar, combi, hardwood, eucalyptus and all-birch options can be configured. Weight, edge appearance, fixing, tolerance and cost determine the appropriate option.
This range includes birch-faced panels with selectable poplar, combi, hardwood, eucalyptus and all-birch cores. Baltic Birch is a separate all-birch substrate option identified by its mill specification, lot, ply construction and processing requirements.
BIR-B normally starts recurring CNC comparison; BIR-C adds a precision or all-birch option where exposed edges, first-article control and tighter calibration justify it.
Yes. This format is made to order in BIR-B and BIR-C after the construction, flatness, sanding, handling and packing requirements are confirmed.
These long and wide formats are made to order in the BIR-C construction. The quotation confirms lay-up, flatness, sanding, full-panel handling, packing, loading quantity and destination unloading requirements.
Yes, subject to the selected face grade, colour range, sanding reference, repair allowance, approved sample and finish trial.
