Taiwan-made SMD plastic reels — 36 years focused on carrying every component safely onto the SMT line. Built to EIA-481, engineered for the precision tape-and-reel packaging and export workflows of OSAT packaging, Fabless IC design, and IDM component manufacturing.
Guann-Ming Industrial is a professional SMD plastic reel manufacturer for SMT electronics and semiconductor packaging. The G.M brand has earned strong recognition in the industry. Our plastic injection division has been accepting diverse OEM contracts since 2010, building a solid reputation through precision tooling capability and exceptional client collaboration.
To stand out in a competitive market, we continuously control costs, reduce defect rates, and maintain rigorous quality standards — delivering high-quality products at competitive prices to every customer.
Focused on SMD plastic reels since 1990 — 6 sizes, all three ESD types, 8–56 mm tape widths. One stop, fully covered.
The reason behind long-term partnerships from Taiwan to Europe and the US — "stable quality, fast delivery, exceptional collaboration". This has been Guann-Ming's unwavering commitment for 36 years.
Specializing in SMD plastic reel manufacturing since 1990. The G.M brand has earned recognition in the industry. Long-term stable quality and customer relationships are a competitive moat that cannot be replicated overnight.
Plastic reels applicable to SMT electronics and semiconductor backend packaging — 13" and 15" mainstream specs, supporting full 8–44 mm carrier tape widths.
Each reel size offers anti-static / conductive / insulative electrical options, allowing customers to match the right spec to different IC sensitivity levels.
ISO Quality Management System certified, multiple products with formal certificates — meeting the baseline supplier audit requirements for semiconductor and electronics customers.
Products ship to Europe, the US, and global markets — the 10" one-piece molded reel (GM-10B-X) is a special spec for European/US customers; the 13" three-piece assembly design saves export shipping volume.
From wafer to package, test, and onto the SMT line, an IC always passes through one stage in between — tape & reel. Components must first be taped into carrier tape and wound onto a reel before they can feed a placement machine. The animation below runs the whole chain; the stage that lights up is exactly where Guann-Ming G.M Reels fits.
The fab produces wafers and dices them into bare die — the start of the whole chain.
OSAT houses package the die into ICs and run final test; the component is formed and ready to ship downstream.
Components are taped and wound onto SMD plastic reels, with ESD protection and EIA-481 compliance — exactly what Guann-Ming has done for 36 years.
The reel feeds the placement machine and components land precisely on the PCB. Reel stability directly decides how smoothly the downstream line runs.
The SMT and semiconductor packaging industry is continuously advancing toward high automation — from Pick & Place machines, automatic tape changeover, to downstream robotic arm packaging and shipping. Guann-Ming G.M Reels plastic reels are designed for this type of automated production line, delivering dimensional precision ±0.5 mm, structural stability, and EIA-481 compatible SMD carrier tape packaging.
100% recyclable PS / ABS material, compliant with RoHS / REACH international environmental standards. Made in Hsinchu — a shorter supply chain and lower carbon footprint, with a closed material loop that supports customer ESG reporting.
Recyclable PS / ABS material formulation — no brominated flame retardants, no heavy metals.
Made in our Hsinchu factory, eliminating long-distance ocean shipping — average 32% reduction in carbon footprint per reel.
Closed material loop: production scrap is shredded and reused as secondary raw material.
From semiconductor packaging and IC design to electronics manufacturing — G.M Reels standard models and custom tooling cover the full electronics supply chain, compatible with the precision packaging and shipping workflows of industry customers.
Backend packaging and test houses use plastic reels to ship ICs to downstream customers — EIA-481 compliant and ESD-rated per IC sensitivity class.
IC design companies receive wafers / IC samples using IC trays, compatible with automated pick-and-place machines.
Integrated device manufacturers from wafer to finished product need large, stable supplies of reels across all specifications.
LED strip and optoelectronic component shipping requires 7"/15" reels matched to tape length capacity.
Connector and terminal products loaded onto precision carrier tape for shipping — small-size reels with tight tolerances required.
Resistors, capacitors, inductors and other passive components shipped in bulk — require 13/15/17/20" large-format reels for loading.
Guann-Ming Industrial holds ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certification (URS / UKAS / IAF, Certificate No. 81233), SGS System Certification, and EIA Electronic Industries Alliance membership, and complies with RoHS and Halogen-Free standards — 5 certifications that meet the supplier-audit requirements of semiconductor and electronics customers.
Guann-Ming Industrial has distilled 36 years of SMD plastic reel manufacturing expertise into this knowledge base — covering SMT carrier tape packaging standards, reel assembly processes, ESD selection logic, and ocean shipping packaging engineering. An in-depth technical reference for procurement teams, SMT engineers, and SQE auditors.
How Guann-Ming's EIA-481 reels, vacuum-formed IC trays and custom injection serve three semiconductor segments — packaging & test (OSAT), IC design (fabless) and component makers — from a Hsinchu base.
How recyclable PET trays and freight-saving reel designs help electronics buyers hit ESG and green-procurement targets, backed by Halogen-Free, RoHS and REACH documentation.
How fabless IC design firms and IDM component makers can standardize carrier-tape reels and IC trays across the supply chain to cut jams, ESD failures and freight.
What global electronics buyers need to know about plastic packaging compliance — RoHS, REACH, Halogen-Free and EIA-481 — and the documentation Guann-Ming provides.

Since 1990, Guann-Ming Industrial has been a professional manufacturer of SMD plastic reels (carrier tape reels). The G.M brand covers 6 sizes — 4" / 7" / 10" / 11.25" / 13" / 15", plus 17" and 20" packaging reels. Since 2010, we also operate a plastic injection OEM division — taking on precision parts, brackets, and electronic enclosures — and offer plastic vacuum forming OEM services.
View Reel Products →13" reel (GM-13E-X, Ø 330 mm) — the SMT production-line mainstream, using a two-piece + ultrasonic welding process. It ships as two separate flanges plus one center hub, saving significant export shipping space.
15" reel (GM-15A-X, Ø 380 mm) — large-format two-piece design, holds significantly more carrier tape per reel, reducing SMT machine changeover frequency — ideal for high-throughput production lines.
In-depth read: 13" vs 15" selection guide →The three ESD options serve different IC sensitivity levels:
Yes. G.M Reels are fully EIA-481 compliant with the Electronic Industries Alliance carrier-tape packaging standard, supporting tape widths of 8 / 12 / 16 / 24 / 32 / 44 / 56 mm. They are compatible with all mainstream SMT Pick & Place machines, ensuring smooth automated tape feeding throughout the production line.
Stock specs (13" / 15" mainstream) have fast lead times; free trial samples are available per customer requirements. 4" small-format reels are particularly convenient for initial sampling — free samples available.
