How to Identify Genuine Plywood: A KYZO Buyer’s Guide

1. Look for the ISI 710 / ISI 303 Certification

The most reliable sign of genuine plywood is the ISI mark, stamped clearly on the sheet surface.

  • ISI 710 → Boiling Waterproof (BWP) grade plywood suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and humid zones.

  • ISI 303 → Moisture Resistant (MR) grade plywood ideal for wardrobes, partitions, and dry interiors.

Every KYZO plywood sheet carries a laser-engraved ISI code and manufacturing batch number that confirms its authenticity.
All Khidki plywood sold on KYZO is tested to ISI standards before dispatch.


2. Check for Full-Core and Full-Panel Construction

Fake or low-quality plywood often shows core gaps or overlapping veneers.
Genuine plywood from KYZO — especially Khidki Gold Plus BWP 710 Plywood — has a calibrated, full-core structure with uniform bonding.
When you look at the edge:

  • You’ll see even veneer layers without air pockets.

  • Each sheet feels heavier and more stable, a hallmark of authentic manufacturing.

KYZO’s full-core plywood ensures better screw-holding capacity and zero warping.


3. Verify the Calibrated Surface Finish

KYZO’s plywood range undergoes machine calibration for uniform thickness across the sheet.
Counterfeit or unbranded plywood will often have uneven surfaces, causing issues during laminate application.
With KYZO’s precision calibration, every Khidki sheet maintains ±0.5mm tolerance, ensuring smooth bonding for laminates and edge bands.

If the sheet surface is flat and smooth with visible factory calibration marks — it’s a KYZO genuine board.


4. Check for Anti-Termite and Borer-Proof Treatment

Original plywood sheets undergo chemical treatment to resist termite and borer infestation — something cheap fakes skip entirely.
All KYZO plywoods, including Khidki’s MR and BWP ranges, are:

  • Pre-treated for anti-termite protection.

  • Seasoned under controlled humidity.

  • Backed by a warranty seal printed directly on the plywood edge.

If your sheet carries the KYZO Quality Seal and “Anti-Termite Treated” marking — it’s 100% genuine.


5. Examine Branding, Batch Code, and QR Traceability

Every genuine KYZO plywood sheet has:

  • Branded embossing of “Khidki Plywood by KYZO.”

  • Batch code and date of manufacture for traceability.

  • QR-linked verification (coming soon) — letting you scan and confirm product authenticity before installation.

KYZO maintains complete traceability from factory to site, ensuring what you receive is exactly what you ordered.


6. Weight Test — Heavier = Stronger

Authentic plywood made with hardwood cores (like eucalyptus or gurjan) weighs more than duplicate sheets.
All Khidki plywood available on KYZO follows strict density and resin standards, making them significantly heavier and stronger.
If the sheet feels too light or hollow — it’s likely a fake.
Genuine KYZO plywood delivers noticeable weight and solid feel when tapped.
