The packaging method of Projected Capacitive touch screens has become an important aspect that cannot be ignored, as it directly affects the protection, transportation, display, and end-user unboxing experience of the product.

• Material selection: Balancing protection and environmental protection

As a precision electronic component, the selection of packaging materials for Projected capacitive touch screens needs to meet multiple requirements. The primary consideration is protective performance, which means that the material should be able to effectively prevent physical damage to the touch screen during transportation and storage, such as scratches, impacts, squeezes, etc. Common protective materials include foamed plastics (such as EPE, EVA), bubble film, polyurethane (PU) sponge and specially made shockproof gasket.

Meanwhile, with the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, the application of environmentally friendly materials has become a trend. Biodegradable materials, recyclable materials, and materials with low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions are becoming increasingly popular. In addition, paper packaging materials such as kraft paper and honeycomb cardboard are widely used in the inner lining and outer packaging of touch screens due to their renewable and easily degradable characteristics.

• Main Pakcaging Protection Method:

The PCAP touch screen should be securely fixed inside during packaging to avoid collision due to shaking during transportation. Common structural designs include box type, tray type, hanging type, etc. Choose the most suitable packaging structure based on the size, shape, and weight of the touch screen.

For example, for large-sized touch screens, a layered design can be adopted, with soft materials separating each layer, which is convenient for stacking and can effectively protect the screen.

• Extra Packaging Protection Method:

Corner reinforcement: The corners of the touch screen are the most vulnerable areas, which can be strengthened by adding corner pads or corner guards to effectively disperse impact forces.
 

Shockproof filling: fill shockproof materials such as bubble film, EPE foam strip, etc. between the touch screen and the wall of the packaging box to reduce vibration and collision during transportation.
 

Suspension packaging: Using an elastic suspension system, the touch screen is suspended inside the packaging, avoiding direct contact with the packaging box and greatly reducing the risk of damage.
 

Moisture and dust prevention: For touch screens that require long-term storage or cross-border transportation, moisture and dust prevention measures should also be considered, such as using moisture-proof bags, desiccants, and well sealed outer packaging.
