The packaging of the TIM is also of critical importance and is often neglected as part of the design process. For large volumes, kiss cut sheets or rolls of materials may be an economical solution whereas for fully automated systems, a grease may be rapidly dispensed for a low cost of ownership solution. Additionally, for ease of handling, tabbed liners may also be beneficial to the manufacturing process. All of these items must be carefully considered and will be very influential in the selection of a TIM.
