End Plugs Pins and Carrier Tape Materials
Custom anti-static packaging solutions for electronic components that do not fit standard carrier tapes or reels, including vacuum formed trays, plastic end pins, rubber end plugs, and non-standard IC shipping tubes with unique profiles or material requirements
Custom anti-static packaging solutions for electronic components that do not fit standard carrier tapes or reels, including vacuum formed trays, plastic end pins, rubber end plugs, and non-standard IC shipping tubes with unique profiles or material requirements
The parts that finish a tube or a tape. Closures are matched to the tube profile and to how often the tube is reopened, because the wrong plug either falls out in transit or splits the tube end.

Carrier Tape Materials
Carrier tape materials are extruded and embossed sheets made from PS, PET, PC, ABS, or HIPS, designed to hold electronic components in fixed pockets for automated pick and place.
View Details
Plastic Reels
Plastic reels are injection molded spools used to hold carrier tape and reel assemblies for SMD components during storage and automated placement.
View Details
Cover Tape
Cover tape seals onto carrier tape to protect electronic components during transport and storage.
View Details
Plastic End Pins
Plastic end pins and nails are mechanical closures used to seal the ends of anti-static IC tubes, preventing components from falling out during handling, transport, and storage.
View Details
Rubber End Plugs
Rubber end plugs are used to seal the open ends of IC shipping tubes to prevent dust, moisture, and mechanical shock from entering during handling and transport.
View DetailsWho Specifies Others
- Component makers producing new or niche device packages not supported by standard tape systems
- EMS and SMT plants handling custom or legacy components with non-standard footprints
- Connector and relay manufacturers needing custom trays or end pins for bulk shipping
- LED and power module producers with large or heavy devices that require rigid support
- Buyers replacing a packaging supplier whose tooling cannot match a new or modified device profile
What Others Is There to Prevent
- Standard carrier tapes and reels cannot hold components with irregular shapes, heavy bodies, or non-standard lead configurations
- Components with large or fragile bodies risk damage during handling when not secured in a custom cavity
- Tape pockets fail to maintain orientation for devices with asymmetric or non-uniform footprints
- Custom device profiles are not supported by off-the-shelf packaging systems, leading to feeder jams and rework
- End caps and pins from generic suppliers do not match the tube or tray profile, causing loose fit and component spillage
- Anti-static performance degrades when standard packaging is modified or re-opened multiple times
How the Others Line Is Built
- Custom tooling available for non-standard profiles, including vacuum formed trays, end pins, and plugs
- Material selection from PVC PS HIPS PC PETG ABS based on mechanical strength, clarity, and cost
- Anti-static properties achieved through surface treatment or additive integration, compliant with Sony environmental requirements
- Critical dimension control within 5 mils on PVC and plus minus 2 mils on polycarbonate for consistent fit
- End plugs and pins matched to tube or tray profile, supplied with each order
- Free samples of 20-50 tubes after tooling trial, supporting validation before full production
- Lead time of 5-15 days for repeat orders on existing profiles; 4-6 weeks for new tooling on standard complexity
Where Others Ends Up
Shipping custom-shaped power modules from a manufacturer to an overseas assembly line without tape compatibility
Creating vacuum formed trays for a new relay with a non-standard footprint that cannot be held in standard tape
Supplying plastic end pins and rubber end plugs for a custom IC tube used in a high-volume SMT line
Replacing a failed packaging system for a legacy component with a non-standard profile
Supporting a rework operation where components must be re-packed into a fixed orientation for traceability

Read GuideOthers Questions
Can you make packaging for a device that doesn't fit standard tape or reel?
Yes. We produce custom vacuum formed trays, plastic end pins, rubber end plugs, and non-standard IC tubes for devices with unique profiles or mechanical requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity?
10000 pieces on standard profiles. For custom tooling, the MOQ is based on tooling cost and production run size.
Which materials are available for custom packaging?
PVC, PS / HIPS, PC, PETG, and ABS. Material choice is based on mechanical strength, clarity, and cost.
How long does custom tooling take?
Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks for basic low-volume tools. Complex or high-volume tools take 10-12 weeks.
Do you supply end plugs and pins with the tubes or trays?
Yes. Rubber end plugs, plastic pins, nails, caps, and EPE plugs are supplied and matched to the specific profile.
Are the custom packaging products RoHS compliant?
Yes. All products meet RoHS and Sony environmental protection requirements. The quality management system is ISO14001.
How fast can a repeat order ship?
5-15 days depending on quantity, provided the profile and tooling are already in place.
