The PBSL Group Flat Packer is a professional-grade shimming solution designed for contractors, joiners, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision alignment and leveling in structural or finish work. Its primary benefit is the provision of consistent, reliable spacing that prevents structural movement and ensures perfectly level installations, though users should note that these are non-load-bearing spacers intended for alignment purposes rather than structural support columns.

No, these are designed for alignment and shimming purposes and should not be used as primary structural support columns.
Yes, they can be trimmed using standard hand tools or a sharp utility knife if they protrude from the installation site.
Each box contains 1000 individual pieces.
They are highly moisture-resistant, making them ideal for use in kitchens, bathrooms, or exterior framing where dampness might be an issue.
Yes, they are designed to be stackable to achieve specific heights as needed for your project.
Apply a small amount of wood glue or use a temporary staple to hold the packer in place until the permanent fastener is driven through.
If 6mm is too thick, consider using a thinner shim material; if you need a specific increment, use multiple packers or trim them to overlap securely.
To use the Flat Packer, simply identify the high and low points of your installation surface using a spirit level or laser level. Insert the necessary number of packers to reach the desired height. If a specific thickness other than 6mm is required, these packers can be safely stacked. When fastening through the packers, ensure your screws are of sufficient length to penetrate the substrate behind the packer. Keep the box stored in a dry environment to prevent any material degradation, although the synthetic nature of the material makes them relatively immune to dampness compared to traditional wood shims.
