Imported Plywood, Local Expertise

This gives customers access to a broad range of finishes and formats, all backed by local technical support.
Planning for Delivery and Cutting
If you’re ordering directly, be aware that:
-
Most sheet sizes are 2440 x 1220 mm, but always confirm to avoid nesting errors
-
Sheet thicknesses can vary slightly (e.g. 18mm might measure 17.5mm or 18.5mm), so check if your design has tight tolerances
-
You will need a forklift to unload full pallets or large orders from Plymasters' delivery trucks
If that’s a problem, we can receive and hold your sheets at Cutwood’s Auckland facility and CNC cut them for you.
Let’s Build With It
If you're planning a CNC project and want great results, Plymasters materials are a smart choice. We're happy to help you pick the right sheet product, prepare your files, and machine parts that are clean, accurate, and ready to assemble.
