Product Information

Full details

The PBSL Group Flat Packer is an essential tool for contractors, DIY enthusiasts, and joiners who require precise leveling and shimming during installation projects. These 1mm shims offer a reliable way to bridge gaps, achieve perfect alignment for window frames or floor joists, and ensure structural stability. While they provide exceptional precision for small-gap adjustments, users should note that they are not designed for high-load structural bearing applications that require heavy-duty steel or specialized load-bearing components.

FAQs

Can I use these outdoors?

These packers are suitable for most environments, though they should be protected from prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions.

Are these packers stackable?

Yes, they are designed to be stacked, allowing you to create thicker shims in 1mm increments.

What is the total thickness of the full box?

There are 100 units per box, each 1mm thick, totaling 100mm of cumulative height if stacked together.

Can I cut these to size?

Yes, you can trim them using standard utility knives or shears to fit specific installation footprints.

Are they compressible under weight?

They are designed to be rigid and resistant to compression, ensuring that your leveled surfaces remain stable over time.

Troubleshooting

Packer slips out of the gap after installation

Use a small amount of construction adhesive or a mechanical fastener to secure the packer in place.

The gap is too small for a 1mm packer

Use a block plane or sandpaper to gently reduce the thickness of the packer if only a fraction of a millimeter is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent 1mm sizing for high-precision leveling
  • Easy to stack for multi-millimeter height adjustments
  • Compact form factor fits tight installation gaps
  • Convenient bulk quantity reduces project downtime

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty structural load-bearing
  • Rigid material may require cutting tools if resizing is needed
  • Single-thickness limitation requires stacking for larger gaps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: identify the area requiring adjustment using a spirit level or laser level, slide the packer into the gap, and verify the alignment. For gaps exceeding 1mm, stack the necessary number of packers until the desired height is achieved.

Compatibility: These packers are compatible with timber, composite, and most synthetic construction materials.

Care: Store the box in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent degradation of the material. Avoid exposing the packers to extreme moisture or direct sunlight for extended periods if they are intended for outdoor use, as some materials may become brittle over time.
