Custom designs allow for considerations that aren’t available in standard products. A great example is the use of different style handles. You might think a handle isn’t that important but your handling and manufacturing processes can be improved by using the perfect one. We have several different design options and select the proper one for your specific handling needs.

CCI Custom Manufacturing
The ability to do custom manufacturing specific to an application opens up a whole new world of possibilities. CCI is an extension of your engineering mind. How many times do people settle for an “off the shelf” solution and then try to conform to the limitations of the product? With CCI’s custom manufacturing capabilities why not look at designing a container based on your needs instead of designing your manufacturing based on the containers needs and limitations. One of CCI’s custom manufacturing items is a kitting container that was designed specifically to fit into the existing manufacturing environment without having to make “adjustments”. In fact it actually improved the process which was the original goal.
Eliminate the “Electric Slide”
One of the most efficient ways to help eliminate physical damage during manufacturing is to eliminate movement. By using KleanStat Flex bubble liner you can help to eliminate the “Electric Slide” you get on blue matting material or just plain trays. Permanently ESD safe and cleanable KleanStat Flex bubbles also provide better cushioning than flat liners.
Is Pink Foam Helping or Hurting Your ESD Compliance Program?
History
Pink ESD foam has been a staple in the ESD packaging world since its inception back in the 70’s. It is a great product that fulfills many needs in many applications. Typically used as a cushioning aspect of a package or work surface, pink foam has been a “solution” for many problems. However, there has been a misconception of the anti-static properties and how long they last. Pink anti static foams have a shelf life. Once that shelf life is gone the foam can become extremely dangerous to the manufacturing environment and sensitive components. When walking through an EPA (ESD Protected Area) the most common violation of standard ESD practices is the use, or misuse of these foams.
ANSI/ESD S541 tells us in 6.1 and 6.2 as it relates to ANSI/ESD S20.20 that packaging (in this case pink foam) used inside and outside an EPA must have certain characteristics.
Double Up By Stacking Up
CCI can create a unique “locking partition set” that keeps the product in place when removed. This unique design allows you to stack multiple partition sets into a tote to maximize density in the package. By designing the outer container to fit the desired pallet size and height you eliminate shipping “air”. See the photo below for an example of using this style design to create the perfect package!
Custom ESD Safe Foam Trays
Using several different manufacturing techniques CCI can create custom foam trays for handling and shipping applications. If the application requires short term use we can easily with to a less expensive Pink foam that has a shelf life.
