20-25 pounds per sheet, per 1/4" of thickness. In other words, about 25 pounds for a sheet of 1/4, about 50 pounds for a sheet of 1/2.
It depends what the "ply" value is ... the number of layers glued together. For instance, 1/2" plywood is going to be lighter then 3/4" plywood. A common rule of thumb is a 4x8 foot sheet of 1/4" fir plywood weighs 25 pounds. There are 32 square feet in a sheet, so a square foot of 1/4" fir plywood weighs about 0.78 pounds. Since 1/2" is twice as thick as 1/4", 1/2" fir plywood weighs twice as much, or 1.56 lbs, and 3/4" three times as much, or about 2.34 lbs. Fir plywood is common, but other species are available. Weight varies considerably between species of wood, so be aware the weight of plywood of different species can be different.

Lets say you have a 1 foot by 1 foot piece of plywood. Lets also say that your feet are 12 inches long and when both feet are together are 12 inches wide. Now if you stood on the plywood with both feet you would be distributing your weight over the entire 1 foot by 1 foot area (distributed loading). If you took the same piece of plywood and were able to apply all your weight through your finger and placed that somewhere in the plywood, that point would be loaded at that single point (point loading).
thickness and type of wood are varibles oak and maple are heaver than pine 3/4 is heaver than 1/4 and 1/2
The weight of any wood sheet good can vary based on species, moisture content, adhesive used, etc. However, a 1/4" x 48" x 96" sheet of LAUAN weighs approximately 17.5 pounds.
It will depend on the thickness of the plywood!

The easiest way to determine an honest weight of a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood? 20-25 pounds per 1/4" of thickness. 3 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness according to APA Plywood Design Specification.
Fiberglass is lighter, AND stronger.
6mm plywood weighs 8.406 pounds per sq m or 3.82 Kgs per sq m

It depends on the material and the treatment of material that the plys are made of, the thickness of the plywood, the quality of the plys, the number of plys, and the force being exerted on it; tensil, sheer, compressive, flexural
Yetiply offers a wide range of plywood, including marine plywood, commercial plywood, and decorative plywood and it is known for Plywood Manufacturers In India. We cater to various needs, from construction to interior design.
It depends on the density of the plywood. This site shows some plywood densities in kg/m^3. Let's say your plywood is 500 kg/m^3 (which is at the low end of the plywood densities isted on that page). Converting the dimensions of the plywood to meters gives the following: height: 4 ft = 4 ft * (12 in/ft) * (2.54 cm/in) * (1m/100cm) = 1.22 m width: 8 ft = 8 ft * (12 in/ft) * (2.54 cm/in) * (1m/100cm) = 2.44 m thickness: 18 mm * (1m/1000mm) = .018 m The volume of the plywood is height * weight * thickness = 1.22 * 2.44 * .018 = .0535 m^3. Weight is density * volume. So, at 500 kg/m^3, the plywood would weigh: 500*.0535 = 26.8 kg. 1 kg is approximately 2.2 pounds, so 26.8 kg is 26.8 kg * (2.2 lb/kg) = 58.9 pounds. If, however for example, your plywood is 700 kg/m^3, it would weigh 40% more, or 82.5 pounds.
