Botanical Field Press

Lightweight, compact, and easy to bring along on outings, this self-contained set lets you collect specimens of flowers, leaves and grasses and press them on the spot. Freshly cut plants are placed between the layers of thick blotting paper, separated by corrugated cardboard inserts; this permits the absorption and aeration needed for fast drying, which helps preserve natural color.

Outer panels made of birch plywood keep the layers rigid and protected as you tighten two adjustable hook-and-loop belts around the bundle, compressing the contents with firm, constant pressure. Includes ten sheets of blotting paper and six pieces of cardboard, enough to hold five separate layers of specimens at once. Measures 9" x 12".
