OEM plywood from Vietnam: private-label formwork plywood under your brand
In short
PK Ply presses formwork plywood under your brand in our two mills in Chi Linh, Hai Phong.

Film
A private-label order through our mills, on film
The page film follows one private-label order from the brand sheet to the closed container: the film chosen, the panel pressed, the edges painted in the buyer's colour and the packs marked.
Chapter one shows the brand sheet turned into a technical sheet; chapter two the branded sample; chapter three film pressing and edge painting; chapter four marking and packing; chapter five the packs going into a 40HC at Hai Phong.

At a glance
What OEM plywood from Vietnam means at our mills
Private-label formwork plywood is a panel built on one of our tested film-faced or anti-slip builds and finished to the buyer's brand sheet: film, edge colour and pack marks are the buyer's, the core, glue and pressing are ours.

Steps
Eight steps of a private-label plywood order
A private-label order runs through the same mill as our own panels, with two added checks: the brand sheet before the quotation and the reference sample before production.
Send the brand sheet
Film brand, weight and colour, edge paint colour (a paint chip or a colour code), pack-mark artwork and the panel you want. Check: every brand field has one value, not a range.
Technical sheet and quotation
We add core, glue, thickness, size and tolerance, and quote FOB Hai Phong, CFR or CIF with the production time. Check: the build matches the reuse your customers expect.
Branded sample
A sample panel in your film and edge colour goes out free; new buyers book the courier, credited against a real order. Check: colour under daylight, film weight, edge coverage.
Approve the reference
The approved sample becomes the reference kept at the mill. Check: you hold a twin of it.
Deposit and production
Production starts after the 30% deposit, on the schedule in the quotation. Check: the proforma repeats every brand field.
Film pressing and edge painting
Your film is pressed on both faces at the hot press and all four edges are sealed in your colour, cut edges included. Check: edge colour against the reference sample.
Marking and packing
Packs carry your marks and wrapping as agreed; the packing list lists packs, sheets and builds. Check: marks on every pack, mixed builds kept apart.
Loading and documents
Packs are loaded at Hai Phong; draft documents go to you for approval and the balance of 70% is paid against the scanned B/L. Check: invoice, packing list and certificate claim match the order.
Defects
What goes wrong on private-label plywood, and how we catch it
Most private-label faults are not structural; they are brand faults that a buyer's customer notices first. Each one has a cause and a check at a named station.
| Defect | Cause | How we prevent or catch it |
|---|---|---|
| Edge colour off the reference | New paint batch, different mixing | Colour checked against the reference sample at the edge line |
| Film colour drift | Film from a different batch or maker | Film batch booked per order; film brand fixed on the brand sheet |
| Lighter film than agreed | Wrong film roll at the press | Film weight in g/m² on the technical sheet and the press record |
| Unsealed cut edges | Panels cut after edge sealing | Cut-to-size panels sealed again after sawing |
| Missing or wrong pack marks | Artwork version mix-up | One artwork file per order, checked on the first and last pack |
| Mixed builds in one pack | Two builds in one container | Builds packed separately and listed per pack |

Buyer guide
How to check a private-label delivery on arrival
Check a private-label container against the reference sample, not against memory: colour, film, edges and marks first, then thickness.
Open three packs from different positions in the container. Hold one panel from each next to your twin of the reference sample in daylight and compare the film colour and the edge paint. Measure thickness at four points per panel against the tolerance on the technical sheet, ±0.5 mm on film-faced panels.
Check that cut edges are painted, that pack marks match the artwork and that each pack holds one build only. Keep photos of any panel that differs with its pack number; the packing list ties the pack to the production record at the mill.
Colour
Film and edge paint against the reference sample in daylight.
Film weight
Face feel and sheen against the sample; weight is on the technical sheet.
Thickness
Four points per panel, ±0.5 mm.
Marks
Every pack, matching the approved artwork.
Proof
What you receive with every private-label order
Each order arrives with the same proof as our own panels, plus the brand checks agreed for it.
Pack photos
Photos of the marked packs before loading, so the marks and wrapping are seen before the container closes.
Packing list
Packs, sheets and builds per pack, tying each pack to its production record.
Certificate claim
The FSC claim on our invoice when ordered, the CE declaration of performance for structural panels in scope, test reports for the agreed build.
Documents
Which papers name the manufacturer on a private-label order
The panel carries your brand; the commercial and certificate papers name our mills, because we make and export the panels.
Commercial invoice and packing list
Issued by us to you; the FSC claim, if ordered, is printed here with SGSHK-COC-370674.
Certificate of origin
Vietnam origin, EUR.1 for EU-bound lots.
CE declaration of performance
For structural panels inside the 3.6–30 mm scope; under the CPR, a buyer who places panels on the EU market under its own name takes on the manufacturer's duties, so agree the CE wording before the order.
Test reports and certificates
SGS specimen reports, AS 6669, CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI documentation and ISO 9001, in our name.
Bill of lading
Shipper as agreed; the balance is paid against the scanned B/L.
EUDR dossier
Geolocation and production data of the timber for the EU importer's due-diligence statement.
Capacity
Capacity for a private-label programme
Our two mills in Chi Linh, Hai Phong load up to 150 containers a month, one of them a modern plant that started production in 2026.
A private-label programme of one to several 40HC a month runs on the same lines as our own panels. The first order waits for the branded sample and the reference approval; repeat orders go straight to production after the deposit.
One 40HC of 18 mm Acacia-core 1220 × 2440 mm panels is about 880 sheets as a planning figure, so a monthly programme can be planned in containers from the first quotation.

FAQ
Private-label plywood questions buyers ask
Can film colour, film weight and edge paint follow our brand spec?
Yes. Film brand, weight and colour and the edge paint colour are fields on our order sheet; we press and paint to your brand sheet and check each order against the approved reference sample.
Is a private-label order still one 40HC minimum?
Yes. The minimum is one 40HC, the same as for our own panels.
Can private-label and standard panels share one container?
Yes. A container usually carries one or two builds, and three to six can be mixed by agreement, packed separately and listed per pack.
Which papers name the manufacturer when the panel carries your brand?
The invoice, packing list, certificates and test reports name our mills, because we make and export the panels. Under the EU CPR a buyer selling CE-marked panels under its own name takes on the manufacturer's duties, so the CE wording is agreed before the order.
Can we receive a branded sample before we order?
Yes. A sample in your film and edge colour is free; new buyers book their own courier and the cost can be credited against a real order.
Can anti-slip plywood be supplied under our own brand?
Yes. Anti-slip plywood with a hexagon, rice or wire-mesh film face can carry your edge colour and pack marks; the film and duty are confirmed per order.
Do the core and glue change for a private-label order?
No. The core stays Acacia or Eucalyptus and the glue MUF or phenolic on one of our tested builds; only the brand fields change.
How many pours does a private-label panel give?
The same as the build it uses: about 12–15 pours for MUF glue and up to about 25 for phenolic, with proper handling, a release agent on every pour and sealed edges.
Do you put our logo or brand on the CE marking?
CE marking applies only to structural panels inside the 3.6–30 mm scope of our FPC certificate 0407-CPR-2146; how your name appears on it is agreed before production.
How long does a private-label order take?
15–45 days of production after the 30% deposit, plus the time for the branded sample on a first order; repeat orders skip the sample.
