Ply-Veneer, a wood veneer panel stock overlaid with kraft linerooard, is now being produced in several new constructions for the industrial packaging and light manufacturing fields, according to R. D. Pauley, manager of Special Products division, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Wash. The additions include three new basic constructions in the panel stock, a new Type II for over-seas packagingl, and a white-one-side type.

"The rapidlv growing demand for Ply-Veneer and its widening diversity of applications have made it desirable to not only supply a great variety of basic types or constructions, but to step up our factory output as well," Pauley said. Ply-Veneer is extensively used in industrial packaging, as a manufacturing material, and a wide variety of items are also constructed from this versatile panel stock.

Ply-Veneer consists of a strong Douglas fir veneer core, mechanically distended in a patented process to increase dimensional stability under moisture. Tough kraft linerboard is the basic overlay material used on both sides of the wood core. These facings are bonded cross-grain to the core with water-resistant glue applied under both heat and pressure.
