Gelpak LLC
Gel-Pak, a division of Delphon Industries LLC, has been manufacturing innovative device carrier products since 1980. Headquartered in Hayward, California, its unique products are designed to provide optimum protection during the shipping and handling of fragile devices.Gel-Pak products (Gel-Box, Gel-Tray, Gel-Slide, VR Tray, and Gel-Film) are manufactured using a proprietary Gel material that effectively immobilizes a device based on surface contact.
Gel-Pak products prevent device damage that can result from contact with the edges or top surface of the carrier. Using surface tension, components are held in place and protected, even if the carrier is tilted, jarred, or turned upside down, yet they can still be easily removed. The same cannot be said for waffle pack or JEDEC trays. Gel-Pak products provide significantly more device protection than a traditional waffle pack or chip tray and eliminate the need for pockets or cavities.
The versatility of the Gel-Pak products allow for a range of device sizes to be stored in a single tray or box enabling the user to effectively minimize their carrier inventory thus reducing both production control and purchasing costs.
All of the products can be customized by optimizing the Gel retention level (the tack or adherence of the Gel) based on the size, weight and surface finish of the customer's device. The carriers are available in transparent, conductive or anti-static materials and can be personalized with a company logo or a grid for device mapping.
The Gel-Box and Gel-TrayTM product families are ideal for manual applications where the device may be removed with tweezers or fingers. The Vacuum ReleaseTM (VR) Trays and the Wafer/Large Substrate Vacuum Release Carriers are designed for environments in which the device may be unloaded manually by a vacuum pen or by an automated piece of equipment such as a die attach or pick-and-place machine. The Gel-Film® material is extremely versatile and is used in a broad range of customer process steps.

Gel-Film
The Gel-Film™ products are manufactured using the same proprietary Gel material and is offered in 3 different product configurations: WF, PF, and DGL. The most commonly used Gel-Film product is the WF film which is Gel bonded to a metalized polyester substrate material and it is available with an optional pressure sensitive adhesive backing (-A).
- WF, PF, and DGL
- Wide wide wide variety of applications!
- Easy product in concept, but by far the most challenging in terms of customer applications
- Sold in sheets – NOT ROLLS
Products and Solutions for Shipping Storage and Handling of Sensitave Semincoductor and Electronics Devices
Gel-Pak products protect delicate devices during transport, processing, inspection and assembly. Gel-Pak's propritory films and carrier systems are used to protect semiconductors, thin film heads, microwave devices, opto electronics, MEMS, and medical devices.
Gel-Pak also offers boxes (conductive, antistatic, and transparent), and conductive and non conductive foam for device packing, storage, and shipping.
Membrane Boxes
Membrane Boxes are recommended for devices or large objects that have an irregular shape or non-flat contact surface.
Membrane Boxes are constructed using a thin, highly elastic transparent polyether polyurethane membrane mounted to the top and bottom halves of a symmetrical POLYREX ® PG-33 clear polystyrene hinged box. When the box is closed, the device is suspended between the two membranes which conform to the device shape and securely hold it in place.
The high optical transparency of the membrane box packaging allows for inspection and visual checks without having to open up the box. The reusable membrane boxes and are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Membrane boxes are ideal for shipping 3-D objects such as:
