Conductive / Anti Static Foam

The wide range of conductive packaging, boxes, totes, cases and handling products supplied by GWP Conductive can also be customised with a wide choice of ESD safe foams.

These specialist foams help in combating static discharge while also offering a high degree of cushioning protection from shock, impact, and vibration.

Please see below for the range of anti-static and conductive foam options available.

Please see below for the range of anti-static packaging products that can be enhanced through the use of varying foam inserts / materials. Please note that anti-static foam can also be used as part of any bespoke ESD packaging option you specify.

GWP are one of the UK’s leading foam converters. As such, you can source a huge range of non-conductive foam products for a wide range of packaging and handling applications. Please see below for a selection of the most frequently used foam inserts and packaging products that GWP design / manufacture.

Anti-static packaging is a very specialised discipline – in that not many regular packaging companies would have the knowledge, designers, or manufacturing equipment to make successful ESD solutions.

The same can also be said about foam packaging.

Whilst anyone can line a box with foam, or create some inserts, knowing the intricacies of the material, how it behaves, and the optimum grade / amount to provide the required protection, applies to only a handful of companies.

Get it right however, and the extra level of protection provided by the use of well-designed foam packaging ensures that whatever the component, circuit board or PCB being shipped, it will arrive at its destination undamaged.

Due to the way in which the wider GWP Group has been formed, your business can benefit from the combined knowledge of 2 divisions – one focusing on conductive packaging, and the other on foam.

With a close collaboration between the two divisions, you can be certain that any anti-static foam that you source from GWP, will not only protect from electro static discharge, but can give a tailored level of physical protection too.

This can even involve calculating the exact type and amount of foam required using specialist software.

The wide range of foams available are converted by GWP using techniques including CNC routing, die cutting and even CNC water jet cutting.

Coupled with being able to source your exterior boxes, totes, and packaging from a single source, if you need conductive foam of any description, GWP should be your first port of call.
