Custom Cell Geometry
Cell length, width, height, count and loading direction are defined from the component envelope and required pieces per tray.
Your components define the packaging — not the other way around. Southern Machinery designs reusable ESD-safe corrugated polypropylene divider trays around component dimensions, quantity per tray, loading orientation and factory handling flow.
Standard containers often waste space or force the component into the wrong orientation. Our custom approach starts from the handled part and develops the tray around the production process.
Cell length, width, height, count and loading direction are defined from the component envelope and required pieces per tray.
Corrugated polypropylene provides a lightweight, reusable and moisture-resistant structure for electronic component handling. Material specification is defined to the project ESD requirement before production.
Tray footprint, divider layout, corner protection, labels and handling features can be matched to racks, carts, operators, workstations and line-side logistics.
This tray demonstrates how a non-standard requirement can be converted into a practical reusable divider solution. The project uses a low-profile 490 × 300 mm footprint with 20 dedicated cells and reinforced corner protection.
Conductive and ESD tote systems commonly use modular 300 × 200 mm, 400 × 300 mm and 600 × 400 mm footprints. We can use these as design starting points when they fit the customer's rack, cart or logistics system, or engineer a completely custom footprint.
Useful starting footprint for compact electronic parts and small line-side kits. Tray height and cell layout are customized to the component.
A widely used modular footprint for ESD totes, racks and internal logistics systems. Divider geometry remains project-specific.
A common larger footprint for higher part counts, larger assemblies and pallet-modular factory handling.
Length, width, height, compartment count, cell dimensions and reinforcement are designed around the part and the handling process.
Industry reference: conductive tote suppliers publish 300 × 200 mm, 400 × 300 mm and 600 × 400 mm modular families. ESD packaging property requirements are defined by ANSI/ESD S541, technically equivalent to IEC 61340-5-3.
Custom divider trays are used when electronic parts need controlled orientation, physical separation, repeatable quantity management and reusable movement between warehouse, kitting and production areas.
Keep parts separated, oriented and counted before assembly or odd-form insertion.
Separate boards or subassemblies during work-in-process handling and internal transfer.
Dedicated cells reduce direct part-to-part contact and simplify line-side material presentation.
Custom partitions support fragile or geometry-sensitive parts that do not fit standard containers efficiently.
A practical custom tray project can start from dimensions, photos, a drawing or a physical sample. The goal is to lock the part orientation, cell count and outer envelope before production.
Dimensions, weight, photos, CAD or physical sample.
Quantity per tray, cell size, orientation and handling clearance.
Tray body, dividers, reinforcement and handling details.
Review the packaging concept before mass production.
Manufacturing to the approved project specification.
Share the component size, quantity per tray, preferred loading direction, available rack or cart space and ESD requirement. Southern Machinery can turn that information into a custom divider-tray proposal.
