Use this technical centre to define the plywood construction before comparing quotations. It brings together sizes, thicknesses, moisture, veneer and core options, bonding and emissions, working surfaces, production, inspection, product documents, export packing and container loading. Start with the answer you need, open the detailed guide, then send the confirmed requirements in one RFQ.

The main production range is 3–30 mm. Common formats include 1220×2440, 1200×2400 and 1250×2500 mm; selected constructions can also be evaluated in 1525×3050, 1220×2800, 1220×3660, 1220×3800 and 1220×4200 mm.
For the RFQState finished size, thickness, tolerance, quantity and panel construction so line and packing feasibility can be checked together.An 8–12% panel moisture range is commonly specified for many dry export constructions. The agreed range should match the species, thickness, manufacturing condition, destination climate and measurement method.
For the RFQAdd the moisture range and measurement point to the quotation, approved sample and pre-shipment inspection plan.Compare the same face and back grade, core species and lay-up, bond and emission requirement, surface, finished dimensions, tolerance, moisture, workmanship limits, documents and packing basis.

Each guide explains what to provide, what can be confirmed and where it is most useful.
A complete order may use several documents because each one records a different part of the product or shipment.
| Document | What it confirms | When to request it |
|---|---|---|
| Product specification | Face and back, core, lay-up, bond, surface, dimensions, tolerance, moisture and workmanship requirements. | Attach to the quotation and purchase order, then use the same revision for production and inspection. |
| Technical data sheet | our declared construction, typical properties, sizes and intended applications. | Request for the selected product and verify that the description matches the order. |
| Test report | The tested specimen, method, conditioning, result, date and issuing laboratory. | Request when the order names a performance class, method or project requirement. |
| Certificate | The certified organisation, product or sourcing scope, certificate number, issuer and validity period. | Request the current certificate relevant to the order and destination. |
| Approved sample | The accepted appearance, surface, edge and construction reference for production. | Approve before production when colour, grain, finish, machining or visible edges matter. |
| Inspection report | The inspected lot, sample quantity, instruments, results, photographs and packing checks. | Agree the inspection stage and acceptance criteria before production starts. |
| Shipment document set | The commercial description, quantity, pack marks, weights, origin and transport details for the shipment. | Confirm required originals, copies, language and consignee details before dispatch. |
State the component, service environment, finish, fabrication method and expected working duty.

Before the purchase order
State the end use, face and back, core species and lay-up, bond and emission requirement, surface, finished size, thickness, tolerance, moisture range, machining, quantity, packing, destination and requested documents.
An 8–12% range is commonly used for many dry export constructions. Confirm the agreed range, conditioning and measurement method for the selected species, thickness and destination climate.
The principal formats include 1220×2440, 1200×2400 and 1250×2500 mm. Depending on construction and quantity, 1525×3050, 1220×2800, 1220×3660, 1220×3800 and 1220×4200 mm can also be evaluated. Thickness production mainly covers 3–30 mm.
State the film type and weight, surface wear or release requirement, face condition, core species and gaps, exterior bond, thickness tolerance, sealed edges, panel size, concrete finish, site handling and expected reuse conditions.
Name the decor or laminate reference, texture, sheen, grade and thickness together with the plywood substrate, balancing back, adhesive, finished thickness, flatness, edge banding and fabrication details.
State the face and back veneer, core species and void limits, lay-up, exterior bond test, moisture range, dimensions and edge quality. Add coating, sealed cuts and holes, drainage, ventilation, fasteners and maintenance for the finished component.
Define the base plywood, treatment or treated-veneer process, finished thickness and moisture, intended application, test method, classification, mounting and end-use conditions, plus the report or project documents required.
A test report records a tested specimen, method and result. A certificate identifies the organisation, product or sourcing scope covered by a certification programme and its period of validity.
Approve a sample before production when face grade, colour, grain, film, laminate, machining, edge appearance or finishing quality is commercially important. Record the sample identification in the order and inspection instructions.
Confirm sheet and bundle dimensions, quantity per pack, gross weight, supports, wrap, top and side protection, corner protectors under the steel straps, pack marks, fork access, container type, loading pattern and destination moisture conditions.
Provide the confirmed requirements and ask CUZI PLY to recommend suitable options for the remaining selections.
Technical documents work best when the product description, tested construction and requested performance are the same. Name the document title, standard or test method, edition, product construction and destination requirement in the RFQ.
For a specific order, request the applicable technical data sheet, test report, certificate, approved sample record, inspection report and shipment documents. CUZI PLY will confirm which items are available for the selected construction before production.
