Pooling Options

PCBs are manufactured in a so-called production panel. Circuit boards of different customers with identical specifications can be produced in the same production panel. This grouping of similar orders is called pooling.

Pooling reduces manufacturing costs and increases flexibility. Our customers take advantage of both benefits.

Especially for customers with low quantities / 1 piece, pooling of printed circuit boards is advantageous. The remaining area of the production panel is not discarded, but filled up with other circuit boards. Even with medium quantities (e.g. 20-100 pieces), there are advantages through pooling and the use of standard specifications in the production: an attractive price and short production time

Whether pooling or conventional manufacturing has no influence on the product quality. Our PCBs are manufactured to IPC-A-600 class 2 (class 3 optional). If your layout or specification allows it, you should opt for Multi-CB's pooling options.

Our Printed Circuit Board online calculator is always preset to the lowest cost pool specification (standard).
