What are ESD thermoformed parts?
ESD thermoformed parts are made of conductive plastic and reliably protect sensitive assemblies from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Typical solutions include blister packs for electronics, ESD trays, and ESD containers. They secure components during transport, storage, and production—with short cycle times and low unit costs.
What does ESD mean? – A Brief Explanation
ESD stands for "Electrostatic Discharge." This process describes the equalization of electrical charge between two objects with different voltage potentials. The charge exchange occurs at the object with the lower voltage. Electrostatic discharge can occur, for example, when electronic components are transported in a blister package without sufficient spacing, especially if no ESD-capable plastic is used.
Top Applications for ESD Thermoformed Parts in Electronics
ESD Protection
Prevent electrostatic charging and discharging of sensitive components in ESD trays, ESD housings, or ESD containers using antistatic and conductive plastics.
Custom ESD Blister Packaging
For transport and storage, ESD thermoformed parts simplify production logistics for sensitive electronic components.
Smart Design in Development
Save material costs, use reusable ESD trays, stack efficiently, achieve a perfect fit for delicate electronic components, and allow empty stacking.
ESD Thermoformed Parts: The Universal Solution
Design universal ESD thermoformed parts for multiple electronic component variants, reduce tooling costs, and lower unit prices.
Use of ESD-Protected Thermoformed Parts in the Electronics Industry
Transport & Storage Logistics with ESD Trays
Form-fitting ESD workpiece carriers secure circuit boards, chips and modules throughout the entire supply chain. Various stacking methods, clip and clamping features and coded cavities speed up handling and counting processes.
Typical applications:
- ESD workpiece carriers for circuit boards, chips and modules
- Trays for assembled PCBs
- Trays for control units
- Inserts for circuit boards
Shuttle packaging & reusable trays
Durable ESD blister packaging used as a returnable shuttle system extends service life, reduces damage and fits both small load carriers (SLC) and cardboard boxes. Materials and wall thicknesses are designed for service life and cleaning processes. Reusable ESD trays cut material costs: they can be loaded space-efficiently, provide a perfect fit for delicate electronic components and are stackable when empty.
Typical applications:
- ESD blisters as returnable shuttle packaging
- Reusable trays compatible with SLC bins and cardboard boxes
- Packaging inserts for electronic devices
- Inserts for electronic temperature controllers
- Single-use trays for electronics
ESD enclosures & covers
Thermoformed ESD housings and covers protect displays, control systems and busbars. In addition to material properties such as EMC shielding and flame retardancy, electronics housings must also meet aesthetic requirements such as painting, film lamination or embossing.
Typical applications:
- PCB covers and touch protection for electrical components
- Covers with EMC shielding
- Display and monitor covers
- Housings for control systems and conveyor technology
ESD Containers & Tubs
Plastic ESD containers range from large-volume transport containers to compact KLT bins. Their purpose is to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge.
Typical applications:
- Large-volume transport containers
- Compact KLT bins
- Battery tubs and battery trays
- Potting tubs for electrical components
- Potting frames for circuit boards

Advantages of plastic parts for electronics
ESD-Sicherheit
Plastic parts with ESD protection prevent electrostatic discharge and reliably protect sensitive electronic components during transport, storage, and production.
Chemical resistant
The ESD plastics used are resistant to common cleaning agents and disinfectants, ensuring a long service life.
Lightweight & sturdy
Thermoformed ESD parts combine low weight with high dimensional stability, making them ideal for shuttle packaging and workpiece carriers in electronics manufacturing.
Design freedom
ESD blister packaging allows complex geometries, multiple cavities, and stackable shapes to be created that are precisely tailored to electronic components.
Economically
Thermoforming in electronics manufacturing is particularly economical for small series and reusable packaging solutions. Low tooling costs and rapid iterations reduce overall costs.
Process-reliable
Reproducible tolerances and precisely fitting hold-down devices ensure that electronic components remain protected during transport and production, even in automated handling with robotics.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about ESD thermoformed parts
What does ESD mean? ESD meaning explained briefly
ESD stands for "Electro Static Discharge." This is when two objects with different voltage potentials equalize their electrical charge. This process occurs, for example, when transporting electronics in blister packaging without sufficient spacing or without ESD-compatible plastic.
