Customizable Anti-Static Packaging Solutions
Anti-static poly tubing from Packaging HERO® provides a flexible way to package electronic components and other static-sensitive products. Supplied on continuous rolls, the tubing can be cut to the length required for each item, allowing businesses to create custom-size bags without stocking numerous pre-made bag dimensions.
The pink polyethylene material is treated to help reduce the buildup of static electricity on the packaging surface. This makes it a practical choice for suitable products during handling, storage, assembly, and transportation.
Benefits of anti-static poly tubing include:
- Custom Bag Lengths: Cut the tubing to accommodate short, long, or irregularly sized products.
- Reduced Packaging Waste: Use only the amount of tubing required for each item.
- Simplified Inventory: One roll width can be used to create bags in multiple lengths.
- Static-Control Properties: The treated polyethylene helps reduce static buildup on the bag's surface.
- Product Visibility: The translucent pink film allows contents to remain visible while identifying the packaging as anti-static.
- Multiple Strength Options: Choose from available 2 Mil and 4 Mil tubing based on the required durability and puncture resistance.
Create Custom Anti-Static Bags On Demand
Anti-static poly tubing can be converted into custom bags in a few simple steps:
- Measure the Product: Allow enough length for the item, cushioning, and both end seals.
- Cut the Tubing: Cut the continuous roll to the required bag length.
- Seal One End: Use a compatible heat sealer to create the bottom of the bag.
- Insert the Product: Place the item inside without puncturing or overstretching the material.
- Complete the Package: Remove unnecessary excess air and heat-seal the open end.
This cut-to-length process is especially useful for businesses that package components with similar widths but varying lengths.
Common Applications for Anti-Static Poly Tubing
Depending on the component's sensitivity and packaging requirements, anti-static tubing may be used for:
- Circuit Boards: Package suitable boards and assemblies that require control of static buildup.
- Electronic Parts: Protect connectors, cables, switches, and other compatible components.
- Production and Repair Kits: Organize static-sensitive parts for assembly, service, and maintenance operations.
- Long or Irregular Components: Create bags for items that do not fit standard pre-made sizes.
- Internal Handling: Package suitable parts as they move between manufacturing and assembly areas.
Anti-Static vs. Static-Shielding Packaging
Important: Pink anti-static polyethylene is designed primarily to help prevent static from building up on the packaging itself. It does not provide the same protection against external electrostatic discharge as a metalized static-shielding bag.
Highly sensitive electronic devices may require static-shielding or moisture-barrier packaging as part of a complete ESD-control program. Review the component manufacturer's packaging requirements and test the complete packaging configuration before use.
