It should only cost $80-90 for a 1200 x 2400 x 16mm sheet. Mister Ply & Wood stock it, but some places do have it a little cheaper so have a look around. I'd also advise you to have the edging done by the supplier, it's worth paying to have it done properly rather than messing around with the iron-on edging stuff.

you can get other sizes like 1800 x 900 .
a sheet of white is around $50 for 2400 x 1200 x 16
A sheet of black the same size is around $90-$100 in HMR ......

They only list the white boards now but i suspect they still sell them.

Probably best using the iron-on edging if you want to go through them.
