Product Information

Full details

The PBSL Group Flat Packer is a professional-grade shimming solution designed for contractors, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision leveling and alignment in construction or joinery projects. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable, stable base for structural gap filling, ensuring surfaces remain perfectly plumb or level. However, users should note that at a fixed 4mm thickness, these packers are intended for specific clearance requirements and cannot be adjusted in height like threaded leveling systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these packers be cut to size?

Yes, the material can be trimmed using standard woodworking tools or heavy-duty snips if a shorter length is required.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

The material is generally moisture-resistant, but always check local building codes if using them in exposed external structural applications.

How many units are in a box?

Each box contains 100 individual flat packers.

Can these be used for heavy load-bearing joists?

Yes, they are designed for construction applications; however, ensure the total load does not exceed the compression rating of the material.

Are they color-coded for thickness?

This specific variant is 4mm thick; please refer to the product packaging to confirm the manufacturer's color-coding standard if applicable.

Troubleshooting

Packer slides out during installation

Apply a small amount of construction adhesive to the packer faces to lock it in place before fastening.

Difficulty reaching the required height

Stack multiple packers, but ensure they are centered on each other to maintain a stable bearing surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Uniform dimensions ensure consistent leveling across large spans
  • Durable construction resists warping or crushing
  • Cost-effective bulk packaging for professional use
  • Ideal for narrow gaps requiring exactly 4mm of lift

Cons

  • Fixed thickness limits flexibility compared to taper shims
  • Not intended for non-structural high-impact load-bearing applications
  • Requires manual positioning as they lack adhesive backing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Flat Packer, identify the area requiring adjustment and clear away any debris that might prevent the packer from sitting flush. Place the 28mm x 100mm unit into the gap. If the gap is larger than 4mm, you may stack multiple packers, though it is recommended to ensure they remain aligned to maintain structural integrity. These packers are compatible with wood, metal, and composite materials. Care is minimal; store in a dry environment to ensure the material maintains its structural density over time. Do not expose to extreme heat or caustic chemicals that could compromise the synthetic composition.
