Packaging for electronic products
Put simply, electronics packaging is vital if your business manufactures, assembles, or distributes a huge range of consumer or industrial products.
Sophisticated electronics are found in an increasing number of products. As such, electronics packaging protects items ranging from semiconductors and PCBs to fully assembled goods. Electronics packaging material must prevent both physical damage and that caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge).
GWP is the UK’s leading electronics packaging company, with over 85 per cent market share. We manufacture industry-standard products, including Corstat, and are sole distributors for the SSI Schaefer range of conductive products. And, if you cannot find the perfect electronics packaging for your specific application, our specialist design team can create it for you.

More info on electronics packaging
Electronics face a dual threat that its packaging must address.
Firstly, components, parts, or even fully assembled products can often be fragile or expensive. Secondly, there is the hidden problem of electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can be harder to protect against as it and the damage it causes often cannot be seen. This potential for damage is why anti-static packaging is crucial for this sector.
Electronics are frequently expensive, which means that any damage caused in transit through mishandling can prove costly—not only when considering returns and replacements but also in terms of affecting customer satisfaction and repeat business.
ESD safe packaging
The same applies to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, except you cannot always see the problem immediately. In fact, the first anyone knows about it is when a product will not turn on, does not function correctly, or suffers from a vastly shortened lifespan.
These issues can also negatively affect your company’s hard-earned reputation and sales.
As such, electronics packaging material, coupled with specialist design knowledge, allows ESD-safe packaging to provide a Faraday cage that channels static around the outside of the packaging, protecting the items within.
Source electronics packaging
Put simply, GWP Group is the established leader in the anti-static and electronics packaging markets. In fact, we manufacture over 85 per cent of all ESD-safe packaging sold in the UK.
The reason for this? The absolute reliability of the ESD protection our products provide.
Corstat-coated cardboard is specified by virtually all of the major electronics companies in the UK, America, and many emerging markets, whilst our wider range of electronics packaging is guaranteed to protect against impact, shock vibration, mishandling in transit, moisture, dust, and static.
