Why Do Electronics Need ESD Packaging?
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) refers to the flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. When static electricity builds up, it can damage sensitive electronic devices.
ESD can make electronic components fail, erase or alter magnetic media, destroy sensitive electronics, even cause fires and explosions. Handling electronic components requires ESD-compliant protective gear, such as ESD table mats, wrist straps, ionization products and much more. Shipping ESD sensitive devices can even be more complex.
Warehouse Safety
Keeping your warehouse safe involves a lot of strategic planning, teamwork, and smart maintenance initiatives.
Warehouse Safety Products
The best way to keep your warehouse safe is to invest in the proper safety products. Warehouse employees who regularly handle chemicals need specialized chemical splash goggles. Other industries may need dust respirators to keep employees safe from hazardous debris in the air, or hard hats depending on the company’s safety codes.
Many warehouses and manufacturing facilities have large pieces of machinery and equipment that require hearing protection, eye protection, and/or safety licenses. In some cases, standard foam earplugs may work, while in other cases workers may need soundproof headphones. You can protect workers who operate large or dangerous machinery with the right safety products as well as with proper training.
Bubble Cushioning vs. Air Pillows
Deciding on the correct protective packaging for your shipment depends on a variety of factors. You must consider the size of the shipment, weight, method of shipment and fragility factor of the product being shipped. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of bubble cushioning vs. air pillows and decide which method is right for you.
