Abstract:

The package has a top and bottom cover, is slightly larger than the electronic component, and centers the electronic component within it to prevent damage. The package is also has anti-static properties to prevent static electricity damage. The electronic component is retained within the package when open, and may be ejected from the package without touching the electronic component. The protective plastic package may also be used within larger display packaging to provide an added level of protection against damage and theft. If individualized identification tags are placed on individual items within transparent display packaging, they can be individually read without opening the package or placing corresponding tags on the package exterior.
