Transport boxes and inserts for PCBs

Rack systems and holders for ESD stackable boxes

Rack systems and holders are an economical solution for PCBs’ transport, simplifying the storage segment.

The handling systems for printed circuit boards are a combination of trays or modular internal separators that hold together PCBs in ESD-injected plastic boxes (400×300 mm, 600×400 mm, etc.)

The trays or inserts have easy-to-load slots which can hold the boards in a straight or angled position and provide perfect alignment. The grooves are deep enough to guarantee a firm grip and stability for the packed circuit boards and keep a safe distance between them, so the PCBs will not touch during transport or handling. They have mobile metal handles on the short sides for ergonomic use and secure placement inside the plastic crate.

The PCB holders can have various sizes and designs, are safe, and protect the products against electrostatic discharges when packed inside the ESD boxes.

When empty, the circulation racks are easy to stack and store, saving space and costs.

They are light-weight but resistant to intensive use, ready for a long-lasting service life. Also completely recyclable when rendered useless.

The modular internal dunnage is a flexible system that can be customized by combining various elements with adjustable integrated slots to follow the requirements of the applications. The partition system holding the PCBs goes inside ESD-injected plastic stackable containers.

Corrugated plastic transport boxes and inserts for PBCs and LEDs

These boxes are internal dividers and crates with internal separators or partitions, produced entirely from ESD corrugated plastic.

Corrugated plastic solutions for PCBs storage and transport can be used as they are or placed inside injected plastic containers, successfully replacing one-way packaging for circuit boards.

They are light-weight but as sturdy as alveolar plastic.

They are a cost-effective solution due to the material, which has an excellent resistance/ protection/ price ratio.

One of their advantages is that they can be produced in small quantities and do not require a large MOQ. Production time is also short, making it a time-effective solution.

The electronic print board (PCB) magazine racks

PCB storing racks are usually produced from metal and materials with ESD properties and are suitable for packaging PCBs headed for automated assembly and production lines.

They are mainly used in electronics, telecom, aviation, chemical, or mining industries.

They have strong and sturdy PP walls with heat tolerance and metal framing to guarantee a long lifespan and resistance to intensive use.

The transport system can store a high number of printed circuit boards. They protect their physical integrity against shocks and electrostatic discharges that appear during packaging, handling, storage, or transport.

The circuit boards are easily inserted and firmly fixed inside the racks.

Main advantages:

• They can be adapted and customized to any size of circuit boards
• The rails ensure a firm and precise insertion of the PCBs
• Their width can be adjusted in less than a minute
• Damaged parts of the rack can be replaced individually, to repair, not replace them
• Short operation times all along the chain – production, storage, transport and assembly
• They do not take up much space, are easy to store until they are used on assembly lines, but can also be disassembled when not in use
• Compatible with larger ESD injected plastic containers

EPP transport boxes and inserts for PCBs

EPP/ EPP-ESD customized boxes and inserts are also used for transporting printed circuit boards. They are a relatively new product on the specialized packaging market, a sustainable and eco-friendly solution.

These transport containers made from Expanded Polypropylene have isothermal properties and can be used together with longitudinal or transversal dividers to transport temperature-sensitive products and more.

They can also be used as self-boxes due to the following:

• They have moulded edges for secure stacking
• They have label areas for self-adhesive labels or barcode stickers, providing quick identification of the content
• Labelling can be enhanced using self-adhesive label holders, thus extending the use of a limited batch of EPP transport boxes
• Logos and other imprints can be included in the mould
• Codes and numbers for identification can be permanently embedded to reduce identification time and risks of labels getting removed, replaced or damaged
• They may come with covers for extra protection of the load during transport or to allow stacking
• The possibility of using Duraflex internal separators, if the application allows it

For extra sensitive products, clients might prefer using them as inserts for injected plastic KLT boxes/crates. This offers extra security for the loads.

Internal rails/slots for separators are embedded in the mould, and the distance can be adjusted at any time. Flexibility extends service life and optimizes costs long term.

Special transport boxes for PCBs are perfectly stackable due to their stacking border. They can be used as they are or placed inside big transport boxes or containers. The boxes are compatible with automated/robotic handling.

They are used for transporting auto-moto components, aerospace items or household appliances (including air-conditioning).

EPP boxes for PCBs can be adapted to many products, not just one model.

Products are firmly fixed in separators, with no risk of escaping or bumping into each other.

They can be personalized with a logo, bar codes, coloured stripes, imprints (e.g., serial numbers) or self-adhesive label holders.

Besides the PCB circuit printed boards which easily slide in the separator groove, they can also be used to pack and transport switch frames, glass panels, touch screen displays, cooling plates etc.
