Abstract

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) corrugated protective packaging is evolving to the point where new testing procedures must be implemented in the evaluation process. This paper serves as a general overview in outlining some test methods aimed at the qualification process for ESD corrugated, and attempts to provide some understanding of what differentiates one ESD packaging product from another. In the course of this paper, we explore mechanical, electrical and environmental considerations as we search for the "perfect package". This paper addresses some basic design considerations in conjunction with testing procedures.
