Sequence Matched and Numbered Panels
There are four common methods of matching panels to each other using sequence matched and numbered sets:
- Pre-manufactured sets. These are usually made and warehoused in 41 x 81 or 4'x 10' sheets in sequenced sets. They don't allow for matching of doors or components, and if additional sets of panels are required from different flitches the change may be noticeable. Pre-manufactured sets are the least expensive type of custom paneling project. Moreover, some loss of grain pattern at every joint and corner can be expected.
- Pre-manufactured sets, selectively reduced in width. In this instance panels are usually selected from the warehouse in 4'x 8' or 4'x 10' sheets in sequenced sets. They are often selected for continuity, recut into modular widths, and numbered to achieve the appearance of greater symmetry. Again, however, if more than one set from a single flitch is required, matching between sets cannot be expected. Similarly, doors or components often cannot be fabricated from the same flitch materials, resulting in noticeable mismatch.

These are one step above "stock" plywood panels, usually made and warehoused in 4'x8' or 4'x10' sheets in sequenced sets. They may be produced from a single flitch or part of a flitch, usually varying in number from six to 12 panels. If more than one set is required, matching between the sets cannot be expected. Similarly, doors or components often cannot be fabricated from the same flitch materials, resulting in noticeable mismatch. This is often the most economical type of special panel products.

These are panels just like those in the previous illustration, usually made and warehoused in 4' x 8' or 4' x 10' sheets in sequenced sets. They are often selected for continuity, recut into modular widths, and numbered to achieve the appearance of greater symmetry. If more than one set is required, matching between the sets cannot be expected. Similarly, doors or components often cannot be fabricated from the same flitch materials, resulting in noticeable mismatch.
