Static Shielding Bag Selection Guide
When it comes to preserving electronics, the packaging is king! The correct packaging will keep products from accumulating dust, physical trauma, moisture, and maybe most importantly, electrostatic discharge (ESD). Most electronics are so vulnerable to ESD that even a tiny fraction of electricity could ruin most devices. This is why we provide static shielding bags. […]
What’s the Difference Between Anti-Static and Static Shielding Bags?
Manufacturing, transportation, and delivery of electronic circuit boards, flat-panels, motherboards, hard drives, microchips, and more require the use of ESD-safe, static controlled bags. Problematically, the confusion of terminology between anti-static, static-shielding, and static dissipative bags risks errant voltage, improper handling, and compromised electronic devices. The Difference Anti-static bags prevent triboelectric charge build-up but do not […]
