PPWR-compliant films
The new EU Packaging Regulation has been in effect since August 12, 2026. Are your films compliant?
Packaging Films for Electronics – When a Single Spark Is Enough
Electronic products don't tolerate mistakes. A single electrostatic discharge, a bit of moisture, or mechanical pressure—and the sensitive component is history.
Schlichter supplies electronic films that protect what needs to be protected: from printed circuit boards and cables to consumer electronics. From production and transport to presentation at the point of sale.
Technical safety meets sales-boosting presentation. ESD protection meets transparency. Electronic packaging that thinks for itself.

Innovative recyclable packaging film
For every application
Heat-shrink tubing for electronic components
Shrink wrap conforms precisely to a wide variety of product shapes. Snug-fitting, protective, and professional.
You offer:
- Tamper-proof
- Protection against dust and moisture
- Professional Product Presentation
- Can be processed on existing packaging lines
The films evenly and without wrinkles—even on complex geometries such as connectors or irregularly shaped parts.
Cables, Connectors & Accessories
Cables, connectors, and electronic accessories benefit particularly from heat-shrink tubing.
Advantages:
- Custom-fit packaging
- Protection against mechanical damage
- Components stay together; cables don't get tangled
- Attractive in-store presentation
Transparency provides a direct view of product quality—an important factor when purchasing electronic accessories.
Printable options: Integration of brand logos, technical specifications, or safety instructions directly onto the packaging. Less additional material, better brand communication.
Sustainable alternatives for electronics packaging
Consumers and retail chains are calling for more environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Solutions that conserve resources, are recyclable, and do not compromise on protection or presentation.
Our films packaging material, enable efficient recycling processes, and can be made from bio-based or recycled raw materials.
Alternative to blister packaging
Conventional PVC or PET blister packs are difficult to recycle, use a lot of material, and are viewed critically by environmentally conscious consumers.
Our film solutions:
- Significantly less material than rigid blister packs
- Easily recyclable
- Adequate protection for electronic accessories
- Attractive product presentation
Eliminating blister packaging not only reduces environmental impact; it also lowers logistics costs by reducing volume and weight.
Sustainable and economically attractive.
Combination: Shrink wrap + cardboard
The combination of shrink wrap and cardboard brings together the advantages of both materials.
Karton offers:
- Structural stability and stackability
- Excellent printability for detailed product information
Shrink wrap ensures:
- Product protection and tamper resistance
- Transparency for product insight
After use: Both components can be easily separated and recycled individually. Modern circular economy, just as it should be.
ESD protection for electronic components
Electrostatic discharges (ESD) are the most common cause of damage to electronic components. The tricky thing is: you don’t feel them, but the chip is toast.
Even low voltages can cause irreversible damage to semiconductors, processors, and other sensitive components.
Our ESD packaging safely dissipates electrostatic charges and prevents damage during production, storage, and transport.
Electrostatic Discharge – What Actually Happens?
ESD is caused by friction, material separation, or induction. The voltage can reach several thousand volts. Modern semiconductors and chips are sensitive to voltages as low as 100 volts—a level that is easily reached during normal handling.
The consequences:
- Immediate outages
- Hidden damage that only becomes apparent later
- Shorter product lifespan
Charging is a natural and unavoidable process. It is the discharge that causes damage. ESD protection is not an option—it is a necessity in electronics manufacturing and logistics.
Antistatic vs. ESD-shielding films
Not all ESD films offer the same level of protection. It depends on the sensitivity of the component.
Antistatic packaging films: Prevent the film itself from becoming charged. Suitable for less sensitive electronic products such as cables, adapters, or housing components.
ESD-shielding films: Provide enhanced protection through metallized layers that actively shield against electrostatic fields. Faraday cage effect for highly sensitive components such as processors, chips, or printed circuit boards.
Conductive ESD bags: Maximum protection for extremely sensitive components. Safe storage of critical components.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Pharmaceutical Films
ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. Voltages as low as 100 volts can damage semiconductors and chips, even though humans cannot feel these voltages. ESD packaging safely dissipates electrical charges and prevents costly failures.
Antistatic films less sensitive products such as cables or adapters. ESD-shielding films metallized layers for highly sensitive components such as processors or printed circuit boards. Conductive ESD bags for extremely sensitive components. The choice depends on the sensitivity of your components.
