Model: MINIPADDER
The Challenge MiniPadder is a 15 lb all-steel tabletop press for low-volume padding: load up to a 5" stack of sheets as large as 11x17", clamp with the thumb-screw bar, and apply padding compound. Small enough to store in a cabinet between jobs and ship by UPS or FedEx, it is the lowest-cost way to bring notepad production in-house. Made in the USA.
