The length, according to my roll-up metal tape measure, is 2441.5 mm. I
cannot measure the width since each panel was ripped at the store.

I bought some sheets of plywood at Lowe's today. I was looking for
some thin stuff to use as workshop cabinet backs, in lieu of the
cardboard provided by the cabinet kits.
What I got was labeled as "5.0 mm" thick plywood in 4 ft by 8 ft
sheets. Yes, that precision on the thickness is perhaps pushing
things. The plywood is also labeled as being made in China.

Dear Jim,
Could you please let us know the width and length dimensions in
millimetres. I would be interested to know what the Chinese plywood
makers did when they they had to convert 4 feet by 8 feet to metric so
they could produce the sheet on their all-metric machinery.
Cheers,
