ESD Packaging

Protection against electrostatic discharge: ESD thermoformed trays and corrugated plastic systems for electronic and automotive components.

During the transport of electronic and automotive components, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to sensitive parts. ESD packaging is made from specialised conductive or antistatic materials that prevent charge build-up and sudden discharge. Mapack manufactures ESD trays and inserts using thermoforming and corrugated plastic technology.

When Do You Need ESD Packaging?

Electronic Components

Transport and storage of printed circuit boards (PCBs), chips, sensors and other ESD-sensitive components.

Automotive Electronics

Control units, sensors and engine control modules. The automotive industry applies strict ESD protection requirements.

Customer Specification

Many multinational customers contractually require the use of ESD packaging, and Mapack supplies it with documented compliance.

Our Solutions

ESD thermoformed trays

Made from PS or ABS with an ESD additive, in both single-use (thin-walled) and returnable (thick-walled) versions.

ESD corrugated plastic systems

Light, durable, conductive corrugated plastic crates and inserts: washable and returnable.

ESD measurement and quality control

We measure and document ESD properties: surface resistance and charge decay time.

ESD Classification

Category	Surface resistance	Application
Conductive	< 10⁴ Ω	Maximum protection, direct contact
Static dissipative	10⁴ - 10¹¹ Ω	General ESD protection, most applications
Antistatic	10¹¹ - 10¹² Ω	Light protection, prevention of surface charge
