EPApack® – ESD packaging solutions
With our own EPApack® brand, we offer comprehensive packaging solutions that integrate dissipative, conductive and shielding elements to ensure that your components can be processed, stored and transported in a controlled and protected environment.
Dissipative, conductive and shielding packaging differ mainly in their ability to handle electrostatic charges. The DryShield class also offers reliable protection against moisture.
Our tip:
Even "non-ESD-compliant" parts that could become charged should be transported with ESD packaging in the EPA. This prevents existing charges from being transported into the protected area, which could jump over to the ESDS components and damage them.
Our ESD vacuum packaging machines from KOMET!
The optimum solution for demanding environments where electrostatic discharge must be avoided.
Safely packaged for every application
Reliable protection against ESD and moisture with EPApack® Dry Shield bags
The moisture-impermeable, metallized barrier bags with a special multilayer made of dissipative polyethylene and polyester as well as aluminium-vaporized polyester film offer excellent protection against moisture and electrostatic charge. This packaging is essential for ESD safety during transportation and storage. In combination with the desiccants and moisture indicators from EPApack®, ESD-sensitive electronic components are reliably protected even under the harshest outdoor conditions.
