Buyer's spec sheet
Packing-grade plywood — full spec sheet, same-day PI
Everything you need to specify and order packing & export plywood · Cochin Wood Industries
How to order in four steps: choose your grade (MR, BWR or BWP), choose your face (commercial hardwood or Okoume), pick your thickness and sheet size, then send us four details and we'll quote — same day, FOB Cochin.
1 · Choose your grade
The grade is set by the adhesive bond — how much water the panel will face in transit and storage. See BWP vs BWR explained for the full detail.
| Grade | Standard | Water resistance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MR — Moisture Resistant | IS 303 | Resists humidity | The workhorse — dry road, rail & container export cases |
| BWR — Boiling Water Resistant | IS 303 | High | Humid ports, monsoon transit, longer storage |
| BWP — Marine | IS 710 | Waterproof | Water-exposed cargo / long sea voyages (over-spec for dry crating) |
2 · Choose your face
| Face veneer | Weight | Surface | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial hardwood | Standard | Standard | Economical — the default for most cases |
| Okoume (gaboon) | Light | Smooth, paintable | Lower freight + clean branding; export cases where weight matters |
3 · Common thicknesses & sizes
Thicknesses: standard 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 mm; occasional 19, 20, 22, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm against order.
Sheet sizes: 8'×4' standard; custom sizes (e.g. 10'×5') made to order.
4 · ISPM-15, in one line
Plywood is exempt from ISPM-15 (manufacturing eliminates pests). The solid-wood framing and runners are treated and IPPC-marked by a DPPQS-registered treatment provider where the destination requires it, with a treatment certificate where the quotation states it. See ISPM-15 for plywood packaging.
