On the relationship between raw materials and prices of carrier tape products
Choosing a Carrier Tape
Carrier tapes generally come in three standard materials: paper, em-
bossed polystyrene plastic, and embossed polycarbonate plastic.
Paper is the least expensive and offers basic component protection.
Embossed polystyrene is more expensive but provides a superior level of
component protection to paper.
Polycarbonate offers the best protec-
tion as well as the highest price tag.
