ESD cardboard boxes

ESD cardboard boxes are vital for protecting your sensitive electronics or components that may be susceptible to static damage.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) boxes are essentially anti-static boxes for electronics, used to safely store and ship items that static charges could harm. They typically feature a special coating that creates a Faraday cage, which channels static around the outside of the pack, protecting items within. ESD packaging boxes are popular for protecting microchips, PCBs, semiconductors, and specialist electronics.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, our experience supplying businesses in the electronics, IT, scientific, and medical sectors means we understand the need for ESD shipping boxes. We can design and manufacture custom packaging that provides physical and static protection or supply standard Corstat packs and various anti-static foam options.

FAQs

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden, momentary flow of electricity between two objects. A common example is feeling a static shock when touching a metal handle. While typically harmless to humans at under 3000 volts, ESD can cause catastrophic failure in sensitive electronic components at voltages as low as 10 volts.

Anti-static boxes effectively create a “Faraday cage” effect. The special, carbon-based coating on the outside of the box channels any static charges around the outside of the pack, protecting the items within. These properties make ESD safe boxes crucial for protecting items such as PCBs, semiconductors and microchips.

You can also opt to include anti-static foam in your ESD carton boxes. In addition to the cushioning this provides, the material can help dissipate static charges and provide another layer of protection for your products.

Standard ESD corrugated boxes are fully recyclable, being mainly paper-based. If using ESD boxes with foam, the foam should be removed and recycled separately from the corrugated cardboard-based element. The corrugated coating does not usually affect recyclability.
