Embossed carrier tape provides protection to integrated circuits and other devices from physical and ESD damage during shipping and storage. It is a universally accepted method of presenting devices to pick and place machines for automatic placement onto printed circuit boards. For non-IC applications, embossed carrier tape provides automation possibilities not available with other packaging methods.

Advantek's embossed carrier tape can incorporate containment features found in more expensive shipping media. This provides the protection from physical abuse needed by fragile devices such as QFP's, BGA's, Chip Scale Packages (CSP's) and bare die.

Protection from electro-static discharge (ESD) during shipping and handling is a critical need for many surface mount components. When anti-static cover tape is applied over static-dissipative carrier tape, an ESD safe environment is created - protecting the device inside the pocket.

Our embossed carrier tape is manufactured using unique proprietary processes on machines we design and build.

From small bare die to large connectors, Advantek embossed carrier tapes are Carrying TomorrowTM and are an excellent method of protecting and transporting devices.
