We have invested in an industrial packaging system that will seal all printed circuit boards into clear, transparent vacuum bags without subjecting the contents to any further heat, and in a way where the packaging can be opened without any physical strain on the panels inside.
This method has a number of distinct advantages over the old method:
- The packaging is crystal clear and it is therefore possible to inspect or view a board in detail without unwrapping the package and subjecting the boards to further handling or exposing them to dirt and humidity.
- The bags can be opened easily with scissors or a blade rather than ripped off, and once the vacuum is broken, the packaging becomes loose and boards can be removed without the risk of depanelisation or damage.
- The bags containing panels can then be reused to seal part quantities, thus increasing the shelf life of the contents.
- This method of packaging does not require any heat as the bags are induction sealed and therefore the boards are not subjected to unnecessary thermal processes.
- In line with our ISO14001 environmental commitments, the packaging can either be re-used , returned or 100% recycled.
Momentum Circuits are continually investing in new technology to perform better and offer enhanced printed circuit board assembly to all of our customers.
