Carrier Tape Production

Tek Pak has developed, designed, and built its own equipment for producing carrier tape. Our equipment includes both flat-bed and rotary molding technologies to accommodate the entire spectrum of carrier tape widths, pocket depths, and pocket geometries. Tek Pak’s patented NITRO® forming technology is used for both the flat-bed and rotary forming machines. Our carrier tape lines are fitted with on-line vision inspection systems to ensure our carrier tapes are always within customer specifications and EIA standards.

Thermoforming

Tek Pak has 2 roll-fed production-level thermoforming presses and a variety of specialty thermoformers for precision thermoforming.

Extrusion

Tek Pak has several extrusion lines dedicated to the production of rollstock for the production of carrier tape. By having control over the extrusion conditions of the base carrier tape material, Tek Pak can ensure consistency in the finished carrier tape product.
