Glue system
Phenolic costs more than MUF and buys more pours: up to about 25 against about 12–15, with proper handling, release agent and sealed edges.

Fill in what you know; anything still open can stay open and we will recommend a build for the job. Name, email, destination port, panel family, thickness and quantity are enough to start.
Direct channels
Email or WhatsApp our export team directly
Email [email protected] with a drawing, a cutting list or a question; the export team at the mills reads it and answers in English.
Prefer WhatsApp? Put your WhatsApp number in the form or the email and our export team messages you from the brand's WhatsApp Business account, so the conversation stays with the people who quote and plan production.
Our mills are in Chi Linh, Hai Phong, Vietnam; containers leave through Hai Phong port for FOB, CFR and CIF shipment. Visits to the mills are by appointment; a video call from the press floor is arranged the same way.

Plywood RFQ checklist and a template you can paste

Price
What sets a Vietnam plywood price
There is no price list on this site because six choices in the specification, plus veneer, resin and freight, move the price more than any list could follow. The quotation is dated for that reason.
Per m³ or per sheet: one 18 mm sheet of 1220 × 2440 mm is 0.0536 m³, so a price per m³ divided by 18.66 gives the price per sheet. Ask for both on the quotation if your site buys by the sheet.
Film weight
120–125 g/m² film is cheaper than the common 130–135 g/m²; 165 g/m² and heavier films add cost and face life.
Core species and grade
Acacia and Eucalyptus cores differ in density and in how many sheets fit a 40HC; core grade is set by the use.
Thickness and size
Price is quoted per m³ or per sheet; a cutting list adds sawing and edge sealing.
Quantity and mix
One build per 40HC prices best; three to six builds in one container are possible by agreement.
Delivery term and season
FOB Hai Phong excludes ocean freight; CFR and CIF include it at the rate of the week. Veneer supply and resin prices move with the season.
Compare quotes
How to read and compare plywood quotations
Two film-faced offers with the same name are often not the same panel. Compare them line by line, and compare landed cost, not FOB.
| Line | What to check | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Film | Weight in g/m², colour, both faces | "Film-faced" with no weight |
| Core | Species, grade, whole veneers or joined | No core named |
| Glue | Phenolic or MUF named | "WBP" with no glue system |
| Thickness | Nominal and tolerance | No tolerance stated |
| Edges | Sealed on all four sides, cut edges included | Edges not mentioned |
| Reuse | Pours with the conditions | A pour count with no conditions |
| Documents | Certificate holder matches the seller | Certificate in another company's name |
Landed cost beyond FOB: ocean freight, insurance, destination port and handling charges, inland transport, and import duty under the buyer's own tariff code. A price far under the market usually means a lighter film, a lower core grade or MUF sold as phenolic.
