The Benefits of Conductive Euro Stacking Containers

Conductive Euro Stacking Containers are a commonly used storage solution for the safe packing of static sensitive electronic components and devices. They are one of the most durable ESD safe containers available in the market. These ESD safe containers are made from a high-quality, injection moulded conductive plastic (polypropylene copolymer) material, suitable for ensuring the protection of static sensitive electronic components and devices from electrostatic discharges. They can provide your electronic components, parts and assemblies with a high degree of protection in a number of ways. Euro stacking containers offer numerous advantages, impacting various aspects such as component protection, employee efficiency, safety, and overall productivity. In this article, we will cover each of its unique benefits and demonstrate how they can be used to improve your operations.

8 Key Benefits of Conductive Euro Stacking Containers

1. Injection moulded polypropylene material provides both strength and durability

The robust, injection moulded polypropylene material used to manufacture Euro stacking containers provides the highest levels of physical protection for delicate electronic parts and assemblies during transit and handling processes. This includes everything from being dropped, crushed and general mishandling. Reducing the amount of damage caused by mishandling results in less written off stock, saving you money down the line.

2. Excellent conductive performance to keep static sensitive electronic components safe

The stacking Euro containers are made with a conductive polypropylene material which directs any electrostatic charges around the outside of the box, protecting any static sensitive items within. It achieves this by creating a “Faraday cage” – a conductive barrier against electrostatic discharge (ESD) – which prevents static damage to the electronic products inside the packaging.

Our ESD safe containers have a specific surface resistance of less than 10^(4) Ω which enables them to be used for the safe packing of static sensitive electronic components for shipping or storage. Unlike ordinary boxes, our containers are conductive; providing a fully ESD safe environment for your components.

3. Can be combined with conductive foam or divider sets to further reduce damage

The levels of protection can be further enhanced through the addition of Corstat dividers or custom ESD foam inserts. Using euro-stacking containers with dividers can help to improve staff safety by preventing overloading of the boxes, which can lead to excessive weight and unsafe handling. They can also further enhance protection by minimising movement of multiple parts within a single container during handling.

Conductive foam can also offer a degree of cushioning protection, helping to protect delicate components and parts from mechanical damage.

4. Option to add lid to the box to offer further protection

Using a clip-on or hinged lid with a conductive Euro container can increase the level of protection by protecting the contents against dust, water ingress and moisture. The material itself also resists grease, oils and alkalis.

5. Fully functioning at low and high temperatures

Our Euro boxes maintain their performance even at low or high temperatures, so you can be sure your static sensitive electronic components or devices are always protected. The containers will not shatter, crack or melt when used in high or low temperatures.

6. Wide range of sizes designed to work seamlessly with your existing conveyors or racking set up

Euro stacking boxes come in a wide range of industry standard sizes including 600 x 400mm and 400 x 300mm, ensuring compatibility with existing conveyors, warehouse racking, pallets and manufacturing processes. This makes them ideal for both manual and automatic handling environments.

7. Strong rim allows for safe stacking and maximises storage space

The robust rim design enables the safe stacking of fully loaded and empty euro-stacking containers, reducing transport costs as well as allowing for the optimum use of space within your plant or factory. This minimises the storage required and maximises the efficiency of your warehouse.

8. Container surfaces can be easily cleaned to further improve lifespan

Conductive Euro tote boxes have smooth surfaces that can be easily cleaned with a static safe cleaner to further boost lifespan. This makes them an ideal choice for medical or cleanroom applications. The hard-wearing, reusable nature of Euro containers ensures that as well as excellent longevity, they are very cost-effective over their usable lifespan.

Protect Your Electronic Products with Euro Stacking Containers

Euro stacking containers can be used for various applications such as manual transport containers or semi-automatic and fully automatic warehousing. They can be used throughout all sectors that require static safe storage and handling.

If your company supplies electronic parts, components, or assemblies to the automotive, aerospace or similar manufacturing industries, then Euro stacking boxes should be a vital part of your supply chain packaging.

Bondline Electronics Ltd supplies a comprehensive range of conductive plastic containers. These are available in a wide choice of sizes, including the industry standard sizes 400 x 300 and 600 x 400. Our ESD boxes can be bought singularly or in addition with an ESD lid and/or conductive foam.
