According to the different raw materials used, thin carrier tapes are mainly divided into paper carrier tapes and plastic carrier tapes.

Among them, paper carrier tape is the favorite choice for electronic component manufacturers because of its low price and easy recycling. However, it has certain constraints, that is, it can only be used for the packaging of electronic components with a thickness of no more than 1mm.

When the thickness exceeds 1mm, plastic carrier tape is generally used for packaging due to the bending conditions and thickness limitations of paper carrier tape.
