Precision Carrier Tape Reinforcement for High-Reliability SMT Packaging
Sierra Electronics’ Dark Blue Bandoliering Tape is engineered to strengthen and stabilize SMT carrier tape during automated packaging, manual taping, and high-speed pick-and-place feeding.
Designed for manufacturers who need consistent tape behavior across the entire handling workflow, this tape provides mechanical rigidity without adding unnecessary bulk.
Manufactured in the USA using electronics-grade adhesives, the tape keeps component pockets aligned and secure—essential when feeding lightweight or fragile components where tape deformation can cause mis-picks, jams, or feeder faults.
Key Features
- Rigid Dark Blue Backing Layer
Provides reliable reinforcement, preventing bending, twisting, or warping during automated feeding. - Precision USA Adhesive System
Delivers secure adhesion with no peeling or residue, ensuring stable feeder performance and long-term reel storage. - Reinforces Weak or Custom Tape Sections
Ideal for strengthening sample strips, custom-cut tape, and sections with delicate or small cavities. - Cleanroom-Compatible Material
Low-particulate construction suitable for sensitive components and controlled environments. - Stable at High Feeder Speeds
Engineered for smooth feeding in modern SMT machines, reducing mis-indexing and tension faults. - Universal Compatibility
Works with all common carrier tape widths (8mm–56mm) and all major pick-and-place platforms. - Made in the USA / Always In Stock
Produced in Sierra Electronics’ controlled facility for reliable quality and consistent supply.
Ideal For
- Strengthening carrier tape for OEM packaging and sample reel preparation
- Supporting small-cavity tapes for 0402, 0201, 01005, and micro-components
- Ensuring rigid, stable tape travel through pick-and-place feeders
- Contract manufacturers preparing partial reels or custom tape strips
- Engineering test sequences for feeder evaluation or placement accuracy checks
Why Use Bandoliering Tape?
Carrier tape can deform during:
- long unsupported runs
- high feeder acceleration
- custom-cut tape segments
- tight reel winding
- lightweight cavity designs
These issues lead to misfeeds, nozzle crashes, downtime, and scrap production.
Dark Blue Bandoliering Tape eliminates these problems by adding structural reinforcement, ensuring:
- straighter, more stable tape feeding
- improved pocket alignment
- fewer feeder interruptions
- higher placement accuracy
- predictable reel handling and storage
