Narrow-pitch embossed tape

Compared to conventional paper taping, this solution reduces packaging material usage by 75% on a per-unit-area basis. We are pleased to introduce ww5's "Narrow-Pitch Embossed Taping."

What is narrow-pitch embossed taping?

Compared to conventional paper taping, this packaging method reduces the tape width and pocket pitch to half their original sizes (4 mm tape width and 1 mm pocket pitch), thereby reducing the amount of packaging material used by 75% by area.

Tape width 1/2, Pitch 1/2

Furthermore, compared to conventional taping, the number of rolls per package is twice as many.

Advantages

The introduction of narrow-pitch embossed taping is expected to offer the following benefits.

Reduces resource consumption and waste

Compared to conventional paper tape, it can reduce the area required by up to 75%, significantly cutting down on waste.
Furthermore, by reducing the energy required for transportation and CO₂ emissions, it enables you to achieve both environmental sustainability and optimized logistics costs at the same time.

Reduces storage space

By reducing tape width and pocket pitch, you can reduce storage space.
Increasing the number of parts per package and saving space can help reduce operational workload on the shop floor and boost production efficiency.

Reduces dust generation, leading to less frequent maintenance of the placement machine

Since plastic embossed tape minimizes dust generation and fraying, the clearance in the component storage area is improved. As a result, clogging of the suction nozzles and pickup errors are reduced, enabling consistent and stable component pickup.
Reducing maintenance frequency helps minimize line downtime and contributes to increased production efficiency.

Less susceptible to static electricity and humidity, resulting in improved mounting stability

A treatment that suppresses static electricity during cover tape removal helps reduce the risk of component failure and pickup errors.
Furthermore, with high dimensional stability against changes in temperature and humidity, storage and mounting stability are ensured even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. This supports stable production without compromising quality or yield.
