Die-cut components and cards
HDPE mounting cards hold a device in place inside a chevron pouch or rigid tray and protect it in transit. We die-cut them in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom from 100% virgin HDPE, 10–35 mil (0.25–0.89 mm) thick. Order die-cut cards, or plain HDPE web on rolls wound on plastic cores. Quick-turn prototypes. No minimum order.

What it's for
A mounting card, also called an insert card, is a rigid backing for the device. It keeps the device from shifting, and it helps keep sharp tips and edges away from the pouch or lid.
The card goes into a chevron pouch or rigid tray with the device, as part of your packaging system, inside the sterile barrier. A device that stays put is less likely to puncture or scuff the packaging during shipping and handling.
We cut the cards from 100% virgin HDPE and convert them in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom to keep particulate low. Choose a thickness from 10 to 35 mil (0.25 to 0.89 mm) to match the stiffness the device needs.

Compatibility depends on grade, coating, and your process. Validate in your own sterilization cycle.
Ordering
Share a spec or CAD file, your customer's spec with its part number and revision, or a sketch or sample part if you don't have a spec yet. Tell us the tray or pouch it goes with and your sterilization method.
For a new design, ask about samples. We cut prototypes from the production material in weeks, not months, so you can test fit and seal early. For a part that is already validated, we cut first articles to check against the approved spec. A first-article inspection report is available on request.
No minimum order on parts we cut. Production typically ships in 2–3 weeks from your PO, and reorders are cut to the same spec revision and material.
FAQ
Our HDPE cards are 10–35 mil (0.25–0.89 mm) thick. Thinner cards flex more and suit light devices. Thicker cards are stiffer and hold heavier devices in place. Tell us about your device and pouch or tray, and we will help you choose.
The card sits inside a chevron pouch or rigid tray with the device. It holds the device in position and protects it during shipping and handling. It also keeps sharp edges or points away from the pouch walls.
Both. We supply finished cards cut to your spec, or plain HDPE web on rolls on plastic cores, for your own line. Tell us which format suits your process, along with the dimensions and quantities you need.
The cards are 100% virgin HDPE. We cut them in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom, so they suit use next to your device inside a sterile barrier system. No recycled material goes into them.
HDPE cards are compatible with EtO, gamma and e-beam. Steam is not yet confirmed, so ask us before you plan a steam cycle. Compatibility depends on card thickness, the package, and your process. Validate in your own sterilization cycle.
Request samples on the quote form. Tell us the card thickness, the shape or spec, the pouch or tray it goes into, and whether you want pre-cut cards or rollstock. We will come back with a sample plan.
