The defense industry relies on precision, consistency, and reliability in every aspect of production, and Vestal Electronics’ tape and reel services play a critical role in supporting these high standards. For mission-critical applications in aerospace, military, and defense systems, components must be handled, stored, and assembled with extreme care to ensure their integrity and performance under the most demanding conditions. Our tape and reel services provide a secure, efficient packaging solution that optimizes component handling throughout the supply chain, ensuring the highest level of quality and reliability.
In the defense industry, tape and reel packaging is essential for maintaining the functionality and protection of sensitive components such as resistors, diodes, capacitors, transistors, and other high-reliability electronic parts. By securely packaging components in custom carrier tapes, Vestal ensures they are protected from physical damage, electrostatic discharge, and environmental contaminants during transportation and storage. This method also streamlines automated assembly processes, delivering components directly to pick-and-place machines for precise and efficient placement onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) or other systems used in defense applications.
With rigorous quality control and compliance to industry standards, Vestal Electronics’ tape and reel services help defense contractors meet the highest reliability expectations, ensuring that every component is ready for its critical role in safeguarding national security.

Our tape and reel services are especially suited for defense manufacturers who require consistent, repeatable quality in high-volume production. Whether it’s for communication systems, navigation equipment, radar, or avionics, Vestal’s advanced tape and reel technology ensures that each component is presented with accuracy and aligned for automated assembly, reducing the risk of errors or malfunctions in the field. Furthermore, our customization capabilities allow us to create carrier tapes that accommodate non-standard or complex components, meeting the specialized requirements of defense applications.
