Highlights
General Purpose Frame Packers are a practical choice for installers who need consistent support and accurate positioning during everyday frame installations. With a 53 × 62 mm footprint, they offer enough surface area to support medium-sized frames without sacrificing precision or ease of placement.
The flat bearing face helps spread load evenly behind fixings, reducing the risk of frame movement, twisting, or long-term settlement. A lightly textured surface improves grip, keeping the packer stable during installation and tightening.
These packers retain their shape under load and won’t degrade over time, making them suitable for both internal and external use. Colour-coded sizing allows quick selection on site, helping installers work faster and more accurately.
