13-Inch Milky White Plastic Reel for SMD Carrier Tape Packaging

The 13-inch milky white plastic reel is designed for winding and organizing carrier tape used in electronic component packaging. Its larger reel format provides a practical winding platform for applications that require more continuous carrier tape than smaller reel configurations.

The milky white appearance gives the reel a clean and consistent visual finish, while also providing an alternative color option for customers who use different reel colors to organize products, orders or packaging specifications.

During tape-and-reel packaging, the carrier tape is wound around the reel hub while the side flanges help maintain the tape position. This creates an organized packaging unit that can be moved from production and inspection to warehouse storage, transportation and subsequent SMT assembly.

The 13-inch reel can be used with compatible SMD/SMT carrier tape and cover tape, forming a complete packaging combination for electronic components.

Designed for Continuous Carrier Tape

A carrier tape reel is not simply a container for the tape. The reel needs to maintain the tape in a stable winding condition throughout the packaging process.

The basic packaging structure is:

Electronic Component → Carrier Tape → Cover Tape → 13-Inch Reel → Storage / Transportation → SMT Assembly

The reel provides the winding platform while the carrier tape provides individual component pockets and the cover tape retains the components inside the pockets.

This combination allows individual components to be converted into a continuous and manageable packaging format.
