Part number in the Pocket (PNP) prints part numbers on the bottom of a tool or component-silhouette pocket and protects them with a clear, plastic laminate. Developer UFP Technologies, Georgetown, Mass., (ufptech.com) says PNP provides for a positive component identification. It adds that PNPs are useful when reordering components or specialty tools.

Containers come in a variety of colors and materials such as fabricated foams, laminated composites, and conductive or anti-static materials. The company says case inserts and tote liners with PNP labeling improve inventory control, component accountability, organization, security, and aesthetics. Case inserts or tote liners can be water-jet cut or CNC routed, which make them easily revised without tooling, providing a cost-effective solution for low to medium volume applications. The company provides case inserts and totes for applications ranging from emergency response kits to high-aesthetics sales sample kits in one or more colors.
