We have CMs assemble all of our circuit card assemblies. They package each assembly in a static shielding bag, then bubble wrap and into a box along with other assemblies. We receive each shipment and as soon as it hits the floor we throw away all that material. We've looked into divider boxes and clamshell boxes and sending them back and forth but there is a lot of expense associated with that too. We hate to keep filling up the land fills but haven't found a good alternative. By the way, our CMs are not in the local area. The closest one is about 300 miles away. Any great ideas out there in TechNet land?
