Because the bulk feeding system uses a compact packaging form, the storage space for electronic components can be reduced.
With taping packaging, electronic components remain lined up. Therefore, the volume of taping-packaged components ends up being 70 to 170 times greater than the volume of the components themselves. On the other hand, with bulk case packaging, electronic components can be packaged in bulk in the case. Therefore, the volume of space required for storage is only 5.4 to 9 times larger than that taken up by the components themselves.


| Packaging form | No. of components | No. of packs | Contents of packs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulk | 1,000,000 pieces | 1 pack | 20 bulk cases |
| Taping | 20 packs | 100 reels (178-mm dia.) |
