TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
WHAT IS PACKING PLYWOOD?
Packing plywood is a type of engineered wood panel designed primarily for packaging and crating applications. It is widely recognized for its cost-effectiveness, durability, and ability to protect goods during storage and transport.
The board is manufactured by bonding multiple veneer layers together, typically using plantation-sourced hardwood or mixed hardwood cores. These veneers are cross-laminated and hot-pressed under controlled heat and pressure, resulting in a stable and resilient panel.
Unlike decorative or furniture-grade plywood, packing plywood focuses on practicality and strength rather than aesthetics. It usually comes with utility-grade face and back veneers, providing a reliable surface that is sufficient for nailing, screwing, or strapping.
WHY DO WE NEED PACKING PLYWOOD?
Packing plywood is primarily used for export crates, heavy-duty boxes, pallets, and other protective packaging where durability, load-bearing capacity, and reusability are essential. Its construction makes it ideal for:
-
Export and industrial packaging: Crates and containers that protect goods during long-distance shipping and handling.
-
Heavy-duty boxes and pallets: Supporting significant weight while maintaining shape under stacking and transport stress.
-
Returnable/reusable systems: Designed to survive multiple shipment cycles, reducing overall packaging cost.
-
Protective inner layers: Lining or separating fragile goods within larger shipments, cushioning against impact and abrasion.
-
Temporary structural supports in logistics: Bracing, blocking, or shimming during transit or storage operations.
It is more tolerant of moderate moisture and rough handling than interior-grade commercial plywood, but prolonged exposure to severe wet conditions without proper treatment can still degrade its integrity.

WHO ARE THE SUPPLIERS FOR THIS PRODUCT?
Several countries have established themselves as strong players in the production and export of packing plywood, including China, Indonesia, Russia, and Brazil. The reason is because these nations benefit from abundant timber resources, well-established supply chains, and large-scale manufacturing capabilities that allow them to meet global demand efficiently.
Vietnamese manufacturers primarily produce plywood using plantation-grown species such as eucalyptus, acacia, and pine, which ensures sustainability and traceable origins. Local manufacturers also maintain a strong understanding of international trade requirements, including export documentation, inspection protocols, and shipping logistics, making them dependable partners for importers worldwide.
With this combination of quality, sustainability, and commercial reliability, Vietnam is now a key exporter of plywood, particularly to Asia, the Middle East, and European markets. For buyers seeking trustworthy suppliers with both technical expertise and flexible production capabilities, Vietnam presents a highly attractive sourcing destination.
WHAT MAKES PACKING PLYWOOD AT NEW CENTURY SPECIAL?
💰 COMPETITIVE PRICING
New Century consistently impresses our customers with the competitive pricing of our packing plywood, which is often lower than that of hardwood alternatives. The reason we can optimize it that much is because of the following:
-
Lean production and in-house veneer sourcing reduce cost by eliminating middlemen.

Efficient resource use, leveraging plantation wood, and minimizing waste to keep unit costs low.
-
Long-term shipping relationships secure favorable logistics rates, thus enabling us to pass on cost savings directly to our customers.
🎨 CUSTOMIZABLE FACE VENEER
We offer many types of premium face veneers, allowing clients to customize aesthetic appeal based on project requirements:
| Face Veneer | Key Advantages |
|---|---|
| White (Mixed Light Veneer) | Affordable and practical option for export packaging where appearance is not important |
| Styrax | Strong and stable wood face, ideal for heavy-duty crates and boxes |
| Bintangor | Durable face with a reddish tone that combines strength with a better appearance |
| Okoume | Lightweight yet strong veneer that resists warping, perfect for export crates |
📦 STRONG FOR HEAVY DUTY PACKAGING
Our packing plywood delivers reliable performance even under the stress of heavy packaging.
-
Structural durability: Multi-layer cross-grain construction bonded with durable adhesives (e.g., WBP or MR glue) withstands compression, stacking, and impact.
-
Reusable design: Customer can reuse our plywood up to 5 cycles or more with proper handling, thus cutting costs and reducing environmental waste.
We also have many other types of plywood products. Click here to take a look at our catalog!
🪑 VERSATILE FOR FURNITURE & INTERIOR USE
Our customers mainly buy our plywood for manufacturing indoor applications:
