The PBSL Group Flat Packer is designed for professional builders, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision shimming and alignment during construction or installation projects. These 5mm thick packers provide reliable stability and support for leveling frames, joinery, and heavy fixtures. While their standardized 28mm x 100mm size offers excellent consistency, users should note that they are designed for static load-bearing applications and are not intended for dynamic or vibration-heavy environments.

Yes, they are suitable for general construction, though they should be protected from direct contact with standing water to maintain structural longevity.
They are designed to support structural loads associated with framing, cabinetry, and fixtures when properly installed.
While they can be trimmed, they are not intended for sanding and perform best when used at their manufactured thickness.
Yes, they are frequently used as spacers between masonry walls and timber frames.
Each box contains 100 individual 5mm packers.
Yes, they can be stacked to achieve greater thicknesses, though it is recommended to secure them together if stacking more than two units.
Apply a small amount of wood glue or use a temporary adhesive tack to hold the packer in position until the fastener is tightened.
Use a utility knife to shave down the surface or consider using a thinner shim if the required gap is less than 5mm.
Use a bead of construction adhesive between stacked packers to ensure they act as a single, unified block.
To use the Flat Packer effectively, ensure the surface area is clear of debris before placement. The packers are compatible with standard structural timbers and masonry fixings. When installing, place the packer directly behind the fastener point to prevent the timber from bending or bowing when the screw or bolt is tightened. For care, keep the box stored in a dry environment to maintain the material properties. If the packer requires a smaller footprint for tight spaces, it can be easily trimmed using a standard utility knife or fine-tooth saw.
