Step by step installation guide.
STEP 1.
CONFIGURATION
Whether it’s a food menu that you’re displaying, a morning yoga routine, or to sketch and write down your ideas, the Wall Mounted Paper Roller will do its best to compliment all of those things. You can space your flat bar however far away from the bracket as you wish, whatever you think will suit your needs best!
STEP 2.
PLACEMENT
Select a wall-space to install the Butchers Paper Dispenser on to - a smooth surface is preferable for writing on, though if it’s rough you could always put a thin smooth surface down as a backing plate - plywood looks nice and works well for this.
Insert the first screw in a hole that matches up with a stud in the wall.
STEP 3.
LEVEL + POSITION
Using a level, position the bracket so it is perfectly horizontal. Fasten the second screw into a stud. Continue to fasten the remaining screws until the bracket is securely fixed to the wall.
Note - the extra holes are there so you have a better chance of lining up the bracket with a stud in the wall, not all screw holes will be necessary.
Choose your spacing.
STEP 4.
SPACING + FIXING
Pull the Kraft paper down the wall until you reach your desired length. We recommend a distance between 900mm – 1000mm (35”– 40”).
STEP 5.
SECURING THE FLAT BAR
Fasten the first screw into the flat bar at your desired paper length. Place a level on top and position the flat bar so that it is perfectly horizontal. Fasten the second screw and ensure the bar is securely fixed to the wall.

FAQS
Can the bracket be mounted vertically on the wall?
Unfortunately not. Due to the way that the brackets are made, the round bar is held in place by gravity, this means that it has to be mounted horizontally to work.
What size paper rolls fit the brackets?
Our rolls hold 70m, however, the brackets are designed to fit universal kraft rolls up to 8.6" in diameter. Aim for rolls that have 50m -150m length of paper on them.
Do you sell white paper rolls?
No. However, the rolls are designed to fit universal paper rolls and white rolls can be found at most packaging supply stores.
