Plywood MOQ
Plywood MOQ: one 40HC container
Our plywood MOQ is one 40HC container. That is the load our packing, fumigation and documents are built around, and it keeps the freight cost per m³ sensible for the buyer.
A container usually carries one or two specifications. Three to six can share one container by agreement, so a first order can test several faces, thicknesses or glues at once.
How many sheets make up the plywood MOQ depends on the core, the thickness and your payload limit. The packing calculator works it out sheet by sheet.
