Introduction
The wafer shippers are specifically engineered to ship, transport, or store semiconductor wafers. While primarily designed for thin silicon wafers, they are also suitable for glass, quartz, sapphire, GaAs, and other thin round wafers ranging from Ø2” to 6” or Ø25 to 150mm.
These wafer shippers/carriers are also known as coin shippers.
They consist of three components: base, spider spring, and locking cap.
The base interior is concave to ensure wafers are held at the edges only.
The spider spring secures the wafer in place once the cap is locked to the base.
Available in sizes from 2” to 6” or equivalent 51 to 150mm diameter, made from translucent natural polypropylene.

The “Coin Style” single wafer shippers or wafer holders are available in various sizes and materials (Natural PP), designed for easy loading and unloading in automated or manual applications. They are impact-resistant and feature a screw-on lid for secure packaging.
Single wafer shipping containers safely transport your 3″ (76 mm) wafers. The coin-style shippers are cylindrical, typically including a spring (optional without a spring). These shippers are designed to absorb impact and ensure secure packing with a screw-on lid.
