adminSingle-use ESD packaging looks cheaper at first glance, but once you add up what you spend over hundreds of uses, reusable packaging comes out well ahead. In this article, we explain the differences in cost, quality and environmental impact.
adminBags and foam for electronic components are usually chosen with care, but the outer box often ends up being ordinary cardboard. Yet an insulating outer box can undo all the ESD protection inside. In this article, we explain how ESD cardboard boxes and corrugated plastic differ, and when to choose each one.
adminAntistatic blister trays keep SMD components and ICs safe as they move along the production line. But choosing the wrong material or an incompatible tray can lead to serious problems. In this article, we explain how blister trays work and how to choose the right one.
adminOrdinary foam or paper placed between components in the same box can build up static charge and damage sensitive parts. An ESD foam separator removes that risk. In this article, we explain how it works, the different types available and how to choose the right one.
adminOrdinary stretch film generates static electricity as it's wrapped around a pallet, which poses a real risk to electronic loads. Antistatic stretch film secures the pallet while also preventing static from building up. In this article, we explain which industries and applications it's used in.
adminA shielding bag isn't needed for every application, but used in the right place it offers the strongest ESD protection available. In this article, we explain when a shielding bag is essential, when it's unnecessary and how to choose the right one.
adminOrdinary bubble wrap protects components from knocks but builds up static electricity. An ESD bubble bag protects against both impact and static. In this article, we explain how it works and which applications it's the right choice for.
adminConductive and antistatic bags are often confused, but they differ in surface resistance, in how they work and in where they should be used. In this article, we compare the two and explain when to choose each one.
adminA pink antistatic bag may look like ordinary packaging, but it protects electronic components from invisible damage caused by static electricity. In this article, we explain how antistatic bags work and which type to choose for each application.
