Indeed Packs OFF for all take-offs is standard at our outfit on the bus too, back on after CLB thrust with the minimum 10s interval between them.

Saves fuel, improves performance on a TOGA take-off and reduces maintenance costs as EGT is reduced. A little extra FLEX goes a long way to improving engine life especially if only a small thrust reduction from TOGA is being applied.
