Quality Electronic Packaging

• If you are looking to address your electronic
  packaging needs you should choose a custom
  thermoforming company that specializes in
  providing cost effective thermoformed protective
  packaging trays and clamshells for such delicate
  electronic components as memory modules, circuit
  boards, telecommunication devices and hard
  drives.
• High quality thermoformed ESD parts offer both
  source reduction and ESD protection since a
  single tray and clamshell can replace the more
  traditional bag/box/foam electronic packaging
  ultimately saves businesses time and money.

Quality Electronic Packaging

• Quality thermoformed trays and clamshells can be
  stored efficiently to simplify handling, reduce
  inventory costs, reduce assembly time, guarantee
  physical protection and provide clarity for
  inspection and barcode scanning.
• Quality electronic packaging combines protection
  and exceptional strength with certified static
  control properties to create the ideal packaging
  material for passive devices and static-sensitive
  components.
• Quality electronic packaging trays and
  clamshells for passive and active devices should
  be made of only high quality MIL-B-81705C and
  EIA-541 certified materials.
