Plywood for packaging and crating
Packing-grade plywood emphasizes cost, sheet size fit to pallet patterns, and acceptable visual defects. Softer cores (e.g. Pine) or thinner panels can reduce freight cost per crate.
Procurement tips
Match thickness to nail/screw pattern and load rating. For ocean crating, verify ISPM-15 marking requirements separately from panel grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶What thickness of plywood is used for packaging?
Thickness depends on span, finish system, and local code or OEM requirements. Browse our thickness-specific spec pages or use calculators with your engineer’s design values.
▶How do I estimate container loads for a project?
Start from sheet count and thickness, then use the container packing calculator with your core density and panel size.
