Commercial and packing plywood
Packing plywood is a low-cost plywood used where appearance does not matter: export crates, machinery cases, pallet decks and boxes. Kerala mills supply it in thin thicknesses at the lowest price per square foot, mostly to exporters and factories in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Questions buyers ask
Is packing plywood ISI-marked?
Plywood for general use must carry the ISI mark under the Quality Control Order. We sell packing grade only for packing use and invoice it as such.
Minimum order?
One bundle can go in a mixed load; a full truck gets the best rate.
