I think we'll be working mostly with trays as they're much easier to work with (and test) in the quantities usually needed by DIYers. One full box of trays is 2600 chips.
'Mostly' means that there still will be reels I guess, but are the boxes vacuum sealed or it's each tray separately or neither and chips baking will be necessary?
We are thinking of testing the chips at the packaging facility after which reel packaging could be made available. Cut tape will not be made available, as it ruins the vacuum.
