Available in fabricated foam, laminated composite, and conductive/anti-static materials, case inserts and tote liners feature PNP (Part No. in the Pocket) labeling technology, which ensures positive component identification and protection. PNP labeling technology, located in bottom of tool or component silhouette pocket/cavity, is protected by clear, plastic laminate and aids in inventory control, component accountability, organization, and security.

PNP Technology With Case Inserts, Totes Provide Ultimate Protection, Organization

GEORGETOWN, MA-UFP Technologies, Inc., a leading manufacturer of custom engineered packaging materials, introduces its new PNP (Part # in the Pocket; US Patent #08034462) technology for positive component identification. UFP's Case Inserts and Totes, when used with PNP Technology ensure positive component identification and protection for the industrial, medical, military, automotive, EMS and shipping/packaging industries.
