Quick Answers

How much does a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood weigh?
Roughly 60 to 70 lb (27 to 32 kg) for typical hardwood plywood (Acacia, Eucalyptus, mixed plantation hardwood). Softwood plywood (Douglas fir, Southern yellow pine) sits at the lower end, 50 to 60 lb. The math is density times volume: a 3/4 inch sheet at 600 kg/m³ (Acacia) lands at about 27 kg = 60 lb.
Which Vietnamese plywood species is the densest?
Hevea (rubber tree) at about 700 kg/m³ is the densest commercial Vietnamese plantation plywood. Eucalyptus sits at about 660 kg/m³ and Acacia at about 610 kg/m³. The order is Hevea greater than Eucalyptus greater than Acacia. Acacia is the mainstream plantation species, not a lesser substitute.
How much does the film face add to plywood weight?
Standard phenolic film at 120 g/m² (two-side coating) adds approximately 1.5 to 2 kg per 4x8 sheet. HDO (high-density overlay) adds 2.5 to 5 kg per sheet depending on density and single-side vs two-side coating. The Vinawood MDO range overlay sits between phenolic film and HDO in weight contribution.
How many sheets of plywood fit in a 20-foot shipping container?
About 730 to 750 sheets of 3/4 inch hardwood plywood at the typical 22-metric-ton container payload limit. For 1/2 inch plywood the count rises to about 1,100 sheets before volume becomes the binding constraint. The Vinawood typical 20-foot shipment to North America runs around 700 sheets of mixed-thickness film-faced plywood.
