FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of each packer?

Each packer is 2mm thick, 28mm wide, and 100mm long.

How many pieces are included in one pack?

Each pack contains 100 individual flat packer units.

Are these packers load-bearing?

Yes, they are designed to support standard loads in construction, such as window frames or flooring systems, provided they are placed correctly under load points.

Can I cut these to size?

Yes, the material can be cut with standard workshop tools if a shorter length is required for a specific gap.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, their long-term performance outdoors depends on exposure to moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations; for permanent outdoor structural use, ensure they are protected from direct environmental degradation.

Troubleshooting

Packer slips out of position during installation

Apply a small amount of construction adhesive or double-sided tape to one side of the packer to hold it in place until the weight of the structure is applied.

Gap is larger than 2mm

Stack multiple 2mm packers on top of each other to reach the desired height, ensuring they are stacked evenly to prevent tilting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and accurate 2mm thickness for reliable alignment
  • Large pack size of 100 units provides excellent value for professional jobs
  • Compact 28mm width fits easily within standard stud gaps and frames
  • High-quality construction ensures stability under load

Cons

  • Limited to 2mm increments, which may require more units for deep leveling
  • Plastic material may be susceptible to crushing under extreme point loads
  • No pre-drilled holes for fastening, may require adhesive or careful placement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These packers are designed for straightforward manual placement. Simply slide the unit into the desired gap or beneath the frame member until the surface is level. For best results, use a spirit level to verify the alignment after each placement. While they are compatible with most standard building substrates, ensure the area is free of debris before insertion. No specific maintenance is required; however, store in a cool, dry location to maintain the integrity of the material. If stacking, ensure that multiple units are aligned vertically to maintain structural stability.
