This extra large flower press kit has a square dimension of 27.4 cm by 27.4 cm, offering a generous pressing area while remaining manageable in size. The kit includes two solid ash wood boards (1.8 cm thick), four wing nuts with nylon washers, four threaded rods, ten cardboard sheets, twenty blotting paper sheets, and a cleaning brush. The nylon washers prevent the wing nuts from digging into the wood surface, distributing pressure more evenly and reducing wear. The ash wood is light in colour with a prominent grain; it has been treated with a linseed oil finish. The ten-layer capacity allows the user to press a large quantity of flowers in a single session. The extra large size is particularly suitable for pressing peonies, large roses, and entire small branches of eucalyptus or lavender. The kit includes a small cleaning brush with soft bristles for removing debris from the blotting paper or cardboard between uses. The product does not contain any flowers. This press is positioned as a gift for flower and plant lovers, including gardeners, crafters, and nature enthusiasts. The packaging is a wooden crate-style box with a sliding lid, which can be repurposed for storage. The drying time varies: 2–4 weeks. The user should change blotting paper initially every 24 hours for flowers with high water content, then every 3–4 days thereafter. The nylon washers are replaceable. The wing nuts have large wings for easy hand tightening. The blotting paper is made from recycled fibres and is chlorine-free. The user may also press leaves, ferns, and thin seed pods. The product is not intended for microwave use. The ash wood may develop a patina over time from handling, which is normal. The kit includes a printed card with basic pressing instructions and tips for different flower families. The user should not press flowers that are wet from rain or dew — pat dry first. The manufacturer does not claim that this press can preserve flowers indefinitely without colour change. The press weighs approximately 2.5 kg, providing stability during tightening. This product is suitable for adults and crafters aged 14 and above. No additional tools are required.
