Carrier tape is commonly used for presenting electronic, mechanical and electromechanical devices to pick-and-place machines for automatic placement onto PCBs (printed circuit boards) or during product assembly, as it introduces increased efficiencies on the line. Carrier tape protects the devices from physical and ESD damage during shipping and storage as the parts are sealed securely in form-fitting pockets.
EPS Global offers component tape and reeling as a standalone service or as a complement to our IC programming services in all locations. Our automatic machines use vision-controlled device placement in the tape, checking for pin orientation, laser marking and empty pockets.
We have a large and diverse inventory of standard carrier pockets in our centers around the world, and we also design and manufacture our own carrier tape specific to your project which you can find out more about here. We can take electronic or mechanical components in any format, in tubes, on trays or in bulk packaging.

Should you need it, we provide many value-added services including IC programming, electrical test, component preforming, laser marking, barcode label design, bandoliering axial and radial components, kitting, component baking for exposed moisture-sensitive devices, and ESD dry packing with dessicant and humidity indicators.
Our facilities adhere to internationally-recognized quality management standards and have achieved ISO9001 in all centers, and ISO14001 and ISO27001 in select centers where necessary. We are also audited to VDA6.3 by our automotive customers.
We have 23 EPS Global service centers globally offering Tape & Reeling services, located close to your operation, and have the local delivery solution available to ensure on-time delivery to work to your manufacturing schedules.
You can read more about how we can support your manufacturing operation in our blog articles.
EPS Global programs and tape and reels chips from the all of the leading semiconductor manufacturers.
This list shows some of our most commonly requested electronic devices, but is not exhaustive. If you don't see what you're looking for, get in touch by clicking below.
This list highlights the most commonly requested SMD devices. If your device is not listed, please get in touch with your cavity width (A0), length (B0), depth (K0), along with the desired carrier tape width (W) and the pitch (P1) between the cavity centers, or simply send us a drawing and we’ll provide a quote.
We can tape & reel through-hole components, and we also offer preforming of bandoliered components in the in the same EPS Global Service Center (de-bandoliering, polarity testing, cropping etc). This list highlights the most commonly requested thru-hole devices. If yours is not listed, please contact us with your preforming requirements and we’ll be happy to help!
This list highlights the most commonly requested Taping and Reeling for Transistors, Diodes, and MOSFETs Packages. If your component is not listed, please contact us indicating the component package type you require packaging.
In addition to electronic components, EPS Global also offers bowl-fed automated tape & reeling solutions for mechanical components of all shapes and sizes. You'll see a testimonial from Kern-Liebers below.
Minimizing production time and costs offers a competitive advantage in the mass production of products. Tape and reeling your electronic or mechanical parts can help you transition from manual to automatic placement during the assembly or surface mount technology (SMT) process, achieving faster throughput and saving you significant labor costs.
All integrated circuits (ICs) are subject to moisture ingress if left in an ambient environment. You may wonder why this is an issue… how bad can it be if a component takes on a little moisture and how could this affect the functionality of the device? In fact, before we even consider the effect on how an exposed device functions inside a finished product...
What does this mean? It means we take our genuinely global network and provide volume, quality Programming-as-a-Service on any device anywhere in the world. If it sounds simple, it’s not. We have 20 years invested in growing our network and our quality system from the ground up in 12 countries around the world.

From personal experience - these guys do a great job! I emailed them for help on a project this morning and had a fifteen minute answer.
Strategic Purchasing Leader
We were looking to tape & reel metal heatsinks, and Diehl Controls introduced us to EPS. They have provided good service, and good support in project development. They also offered a great logistics solution for the material transportation.
We are always looking to expand our partnerships and service offering. If you would like us to research and quote on any project, please contact us.
