ABSTRACT:
A method and machine-readable medium are described for a flexible tape constructed of a material suitable to convey electronic devices through an entire manufacturing process without removing the electronic packages from the tape. According to one embodiment, part receiving areas are located within the tape. Each part receiving area is suitable to hold an electronic device. A retention channel encompasses each part receiving area. The retention channel extends substantially an entire length along each edge of each part receiving area. The retention channel comprises an upper tab and a lower tab wherein the upper tab is flush with an upper surface of the flexible tape and extends into the part receiving area and the lower tab extends below a lower surface of the flexible tape and into the part receiving area.
