Bespoke anti-static boxes, trays and inserts
If none of the stock Corstat®, Corriplast, or SSI Schaefer products are exactly right for your application, custom ESD (electrostatic discharge) packaging is the answer.
Custom ESD packaging is designed specifically for your product or application. It can range from specific sizing of standard options to completely bespoke layouts and designs. Bespoke anti-static boxes and products can also combine materials, including coated corrugated, foam, and ESD plastics. You can also add custom printing, such as logos or part numbers.
At GWP Conductive, we have a team of specialist packaging designers who understand the nuances of ESD. That means we can design packaging that not only protects against static and physical damage but also streamlines your operations, increases efficiency, and improves sustainability.

FAQs
How can custom sizes improve my packaging?
Using custom-sized ESD packaging can offer numerous benefits. It typically uses less material, reducing ongoing costs. Being tailored to your products or components, it provides improved protection during shipping. It takes up less space in storage and in transit, both of which reduce costs (the latter also helps minimise emissions). And it is frequently easier to pack and handle, too.
Does custom ESD packaging provide the same level of static protection?
All of the custom ESD packaging that GWP designs and manufactures provides the same level of protection against static as our stock range of products. This is because our designers have a detailed understanding of the requirements for protecting sensitive items from static, including material performance and structural design considerations.
What materials does custom ESD packaging use?
A key benefit of custom ESD packaging is that it can use the most suitable material for your specific application. For example, Corstat is more appropriate where weight is a consideration, whereas Corriplast may be chosen if durability and water resistance are required. An expert ESD packaging designer can also combine materials, including ESD foam, to further tailor performance.
Is custom ESD packaging more expensive?
There is typically a higher initial upfront cost when using custom ESD packaging. This is due to the design time, prototyping and initial manufacturing setup costs (such as tooling and machine setup). However, savings in material costs and transport efficiency typically mean that custom ESD packaging is more cost-effective than stock products in the medium to long term.
Can custom ESD packaging help improve sustainability?
Using bespoke anti-static boxes, trays, containers and inserts can help improve the sustainability of your business in several ways. Firstly, it can help you eliminate hard-to-recycle materials from your packaging. Secondly, custom sizes typically use less material than stock options. Thirdly, custom packs can help minimise transit damage and the environmental costs of discarded products. And finally, bespoke sizing also improves transport efficiency, which in turn can reduce CO2 emissions.
