Melamine plywood is plywood coated with paper which is impregnated with melamine glue. Its name is from the glue on the paper. The paper is often called melamine paper. And the melamine paper is usually coated on both sides of the plywood.Melamine plywood surfaces are whole piece of paper. Workers just need to lay two pieces of paper on the raw plywood. After a hot press, the paper is lamination is done.
Fancy plywood is plywood laminated with precious natural veneers. The surface is sliced or cut veneers from precious hardwood logs. Not a man-made surface material. Because it is more expensive than melamine paper, the veneered plywood is usually laminated only on one side of the wood panel.Fancy veneered plywood surface are usually made with wood strips. This requires a lot of labour work and fine polishing. There would be some overlap between the veneer strips during the manufacture process. The overlap need to be polished away by the workers.
