As our society becomes increasingly technologically advanced, commercial and consumer electronics demand grows. Electronic devices are often delicate and expensive, presenting unique challenges in packaging for the electronics industry. Folene Packaging’s full range of quality shrink films, designed for strength, durability, and shelf appeal, can meet the unique requirements of electronic device packaging. With 30+ years of packaging experience, you can trust Folene’s premium quality films to protect electronics on your production line.
Electronics are expensive, easily damaged, and require extra protection in transit. Protective electronic packages should provide cushioning against shock, vibration, and static to ensure product integrity from manufacturing to consumer. High-quality polyolefin shrink films offer a number of electronic packaging advantages for delicate devices.
Flxtite® and Ecolene® films are excellent film options for packaging a wide range of commercial and consumer electronics, including:
Desktop and laptop computers
Hard drives, printed circuit boards, semiconductor chips
Smartphones, tablets, mp3, mp4 players
Flatscreen TVs
Electronic toys and games
Polyolefin shrink film offers Electrostatic (ESD) Protection for delicate electronic devices by creating a protective barrier that safeguards against electrostatic discharge. This is crucial for preventing damage to sensitive electronic components caused by static electricity. The inherent anti-static properties of polyolefin shrink film help dissipate any built-up static charges, reducing the risk of ESD damage during packaging, shipping, and handling. The film’s ability to tightly conform to the shape of the electronic device creates a protective shield, minimizing the potential for static electricity to accumulate.
Shrink film provides an extra protective layer for electronics packaging, with a glossy, snug-fitting overwrap that is obviously tamper-evident. Defective and damaged devices are a leading cause of returns and lost profits in the electronics industry. Packaging with tamper-evident film improves your customer experience by reassuring them they are getting a pristine device.
Shrink film is an effective way to prevent damage to electronic devices during shipping or storage. Especially when paired with other cushioning materials, shrink film can provide an additional layer of protection against scratching, cracking, and shattering. The tight, secure fit of shrink film around the device helps to hold the cushioning material in place, reducing the risk of movement and impact damage. This combination of shrink film and cushioning materials ensures that electronic components such as laptops, flat screens, and camera lenses are well-protected during transit or storage.
Temperature management is crucial in packaging electronics to safeguard delicate components from extreme temperatures that could cause damage. Polyolefin shrink film provides insulation and protection against temperature fluctuations. The film forms a tight, secure seal around the electronic device, creating a protective barrier that shields the product from external environmental conditions. Additionally, polyolefin shrink film minimizes temperature fluctuation and helps maintain consistent internal temperature during transit. This ensures that the packaged electronics remain within the optimal temperature range, preserving their functionality and integrity throughout the shipping process.
