Electronics & ESD-Safe Foam Packaging
Electronics face two enemies in transit: impact and static. Our anti-static polyethylene (the pink foam) handles both — closed-cell cushioning that dissipates charge instead of generating it, protecting boards, modules, and finished devices from the line to the customer.
Baja California builds televisions, appliances, and electronic assemblies at enormous scale, and IPS supplies that corridor locally: kanban-friendly quantities, bilingual support, and engineering that designs trays around your boards rather than forcing boards into stock trays.
Foam applications
- Anti-static PE trays for populated circuit boards
- Component and module separators for in-plant handling
- ESD-safe case inserts for service and field kits
- Layer pads for finished-goods cartons
- Convoluted anti-static lining for totes and bins
- Corner and edge protection for finished appliances and displays
Technical specifications
| Typical materials | Anti-static PE (pink) for boards and components; standard PE/EPE for finished-goods protection |
| Cutting | Die-cutting for volume tray programs; CNC for development and complex cavities |
| Static control | Anti-static PE dissipates charge through handling and transit |
| Reusability | Closed-cell PE survives repeated loop use in returnable totes |
| Volume | Kanban and blanket-order programs for production lines |
| Logistics | Local Baja delivery; cross-border shipping for US operations |
Example applications
PCB shipping trays
Die-cut anti-static PE trays that nest populated boards in stacks — one tray design reused thousands of times across a production program.
Returnable tote dunnage
Anti-static inserts for returnable totes moving modules between plants in the Tijuana–San Diego corridor.
TV & display protection
EPE edge frames and corner protection for finished displays, laminated to corrugated where structure is needed.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between anti-static and regular foam?
Standard foams can generate and hold static charge as products slide against them — enough to damage sensitive components. Anti-static PE is treated so charge dissipates instead of accumulating, keeping boards and components safe.
Is the pink color a standard?
Pink is the industry convention for anti-static material, so handlers can identify ESD-safe packaging at a glance. Ours follows that convention.
Can you support a kanban or blanket-order program?
Yes — most of our electronics work runs as programs, not one-off orders. We hold your part numbers on file, schedule releases against a blanket PO, and deliver locally in Baja or across the border.
Do you make trays for in-plant handling too?
Yes — in-plant and inter-plant handling trays are a core application: separators, tote dunnage, and stackable trays engineered for your line and your loop.
