Board Foot (NET) - A board foot is a volume measurement. Linear dimensions of the board are simply a function that provide the formula for calculation. Equal to 1/12th of a cubic foot, the board foot takes into account the actual thickness of the board.

Random Width and Length (RWL) - The fact that hardwoods are almost always offered in a random width and length assortment can present something of a mystery. Hardwood lumber is cut to yield the highest grade and maximum of usable material while minimizing waste. Both widths and lengths are, therefore, random and even the best grades allow occasional defects.

Plywood manufacturers who do their business on a large scale deal in all grades of plywood. They even have their own set of designers who design and create new types of plywood. Buyers who purchase plywood do not look at the brand name but its quality i.e. the grade of the plywood. 

The Indian Plywood Association has set down certain rules for plywood manufacturers when it comes to sales. The Indian Plywood Association has laid a compulsory rule that every plywood that is sold to the customer should be stamped so as to ensure customer satisfaction. The Indian Plywood Association not only protects the interests and rights of the customers and clients but also the plywood industries
