Tape and Reel Packaging Tips from Criteria Labs

Tape and Reel Packaging Tips from Criteria Labs

The most common means to handle, package, and transport high-reliability surface-mounted electronic devices is the tape and reel process. In the following sections, we’ll outline our recommendations when planning your tape and reel packaging projects. Additionally, we will share tips for qualifying tape and reel packaging vendors.

What is Tape and Reel Packaging?

Tape and Reel packaging is the process of inserting electronic devices into individual pockets of carrier tape. Pressure cover tape is then applied or heated for a thorough seal. The carrier tape is then wound into an industry-standard reel for seamless loading onto component-placement equipment.

Tape and Reel Tips from Criteria Labs

Before you consider tape and reel packaging your electrical components, please consider a few recommendations from the team at Criteria Labs:

  • Plan for Lead time
    Plan for 3 to 4 days for standard tape and reel packaging project completion. Although, some vendors do provide expedited turn-time options for same-day and next-day service. Criteria Labs does provide expedited service.
  • Remember Electrostatic Discharge
    When vetting a tape and reel packaging vendor ensure they take the necessary precautions when handling components. Criteria Labs strictly adheres to ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards.
  • Ensure Quality Standards
    Make sure your tape and reel packaging vendor can generate a controlled process document. Additionally, they can guarantee consistent process flows and verification that all machine setups are checked and double-checked.
  • Consider Vendor Experience
    Ensure your components are being processed by a company that has experience in tape and reel. There are many areas of the tape and reel process that most vendors just don’t want to be involved with. When you have an experienced tape and reel vendor you will be able to give most if not all of the responsibility to your vendor, thus giving you more time to concentrate on your core business.
  • Choosing Automated or Manual Packaging
    • Automated Benefits:
      • Reliable for high volumes
      • Lower Cost
      • Flexible
    • Manual Benefits:
      • Efficient for low volumes
      • Consistent
      • Faster Turnaround

Depending on the demands or financial needs of your company, you may choose manual packaging over automated packaging solutions to save costs. Keep in mind that decisions based in cost savings could ultimately result in higher costs when complexity, speed, yield, or quality is at stake.

Tape and Reel Packaging Final Thoughts

Before deciding on a tape and reel packaging vendor you should have strong confidence in their ability to process and package your components. After conducting the necessary vendor qualifications and with the above tips in mind, you’ll be ready to make a sound tape and reel packaging vendor decision.
