Packaging for electronics

Anti-static protection, fitted foam and clean-faced outers for boards, assemblies and finished electronic products.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

Electronics fail in two ways that ordinary packaging ignores: static discharge, and small repeated shocks that loosen connectors or crack solder joints.

Standard bubble wrap can generate static as it is handled. For bare boards and sensitive assemblies that is a real risk, not a theoretical one.

Finished consumer electronics have a third requirement: the pack is part of the product experience, so it has to look right as well as protect.

Typical pack

Packaging components we usually specify

  • Anti-static bubble wrap and bubble bags
  • Fitted foam inserts and cavity sets for boards and devices
  • Bespoke corrugated boxes sized to the assembly
  • Corrugated partitions for multi-unit shipments
  • Printed retail-face outers for finished products
  • Minigrip and polythene bags for accessories and small parts

Materials

Relevant materials and board grades

  • Anti-static bubble and foam for bare boards and sensitive assemblies
  • E and EB flute for a smooth, printable outer face
  • B and C flute single wall for general transit boxes
  • BC double wall where units are stacked or shipped long distance
  • Closed-cell foam cavities for device suspension

In-house

Real example

An anti-static pack that also looks the part

A customer shipping a small electronic device was using an anti-static bag inside a plain generic box with loose fill, which protected the board but looked cheap to the end customer.

We designed an EB flute printed outer with a fitted anti-static foam cavity, supplied assembled with the bag already in place.

The pack protects better, presents properly on arrival and takes seconds to close, and it is now one part number in their stores rather than three.
