Buying plywood may sound simple. But here’s the thing—not all plywood is the same. If you pick the wrong kind, it may bend, crack, or even fall apart after a few months.
At Minimax Plywood, we’ve seen people waste time and money on poor-quality products. That’s why we always say: “Ask the right questions before you place your order.”
Whether you’re a dealer, contractor, or furniture maker, here are 10 smart questions to ask your plywood manufacturer (yes, even us!) before you make any final purchase decision.
-
Do You Manufacture the Plywood Yourself?
This is the first question you should ask. The reason is that many sellers just resell products made by other companies.
But real plywood manufacturers, like Minimax, manufacture their own products. That means you are purchasing ply directly from the manufacturing company. So, better quality control, faster service, and lower prices for you.
-
What Kinds of Plywood Do You Offer?
There are different types for different jobs. For example:
- MR plywood for furniture in dry areas
- BWR plywood for kitchens and bathrooms
- Shuttering plywood for construction work
Make sure your supplier offers the type that suits your need.
-
Is Your Plywood ISI Certified?
This tiny stamp means big things. It shows that the plywood passed strict quality tests. At Minimax, we follow ISI standards—no shortcuts.
-
What’s Inside the Plywood?
Good plywood starts from the inside. We use selected hardwood or high-density wood. If your supplier uses cheap fillers, the board won’t last. Always ask what’s in the core.
-
Can I See a Sample First?
Touch it. Tap it. Feel the finish. If a supplier hesitates to share samples, think twice.
- At Minimax, we encourage clients to inspect samples—what you see is what you get.
-
How Long Will My Order Take?
Especially if you’re ordering in bulk, timing matters. Will they deliver in 2 days or 2 weeks? We know time is money, so we keep ready stock and ship fast.
-
Do You Offer Any Warranty?
- If they trust their product, they should back it.
- We offer warranties on select plywood products because we know they’re built to last.
-
Can You Handle Bulk Orders?
If you run a furniture workshop or interior firm, you’ll need regular supply. Ask if they can handle big orders without delays.
-
At Minimax, we work closely with OEMs and project dealers to keep the flow smooth.
-
Who Else Buys from You?
- It helps to know their current clients. A good track record means reliable service.
- At Minimax, we serve distributors, interior designers, dealers, architects, even government projects and even individuals.
-
Do You Offer Support After the Sale?
Let’s say you need help with a large project or a repeat order. Will they support you?
- Minimax believes in long-term partnerships, not one-time sales.
Wrapping It Up
Remember that when you choose to buy plywood, do not think price to be the prime concern. Instead, focus on trust, quality, and long-term value.
So before you place that order, ask these questions. And if your supplier doesn’t have good answers, you know where to find us.
Minimax is one of the most reliable plywood manufacturers in India that is committed to making and supplying quality products that last—and service that supports your growth.
