Factory-Level Plywood Packing Calculator (40HC)

This interactive packing calculator is based on real factory loading programs executed by HCPLY, not theoretical CBM formulas or trader spreadsheets.

The tool allows professional plywood buyers and sourcing teams to simulate actual 40HC container loading outcomes by selecting core type, sheet size, and thickness — using the same pallet logic, stack height limits, and payload constraints applied in HCPLY export operations.

All calculations reflect physically executable packing configurations, aligned with factory handling, forklift limits, and container payload safety — before any quotation or order confirmation.
