The investment underscores the growing demand for tailored packaging that goes beyond standard SMT Carrier Tape offerings. "We are seeing a surge in requests for fully customized solutions that integrate multiple functionalities, such as ESD protection for sensitive communication chips within a Custom Carrier Tape design," explained Ms. Chen, Director of Custom Solutions. A key part of this expansion is the integration of a new Cover Tape development lab. This lab will focus on formulating and testing custom Cover Tape seals that are perfectly matched to the unique dimensions and material properties of each Custom Carrier Tape and ESD Carrier Tape project. Additionally, the new lines will be equipped to handle specialized materials, including those for High-Temperature Carrier Tape, ensuring that custom solutions can meet the rigorous demands of any application environment, from consumer electronics to aerospace.
