Anti-static and static shielding bags are designed to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can silently damage or destroy circuits. Anti-static bags help prevent the buildup of static electricity by dissipating charges safely, making them ideal for storing or transporting non-static-sensitive items or components already protected by other packaging. Static shielding bags go a step further by creating a protective barrier that blocks external static fields, safeguarding highly sensitive electronics such as circuit boards, chips, and hard drives. Available in various sizes and thicknesses, these bags are an essential part of ESD-safe packaging programs for manufacturers, assemblers, and distributors who need reliable protection throughout shipping and storage.
Anti-Static &
Static Shielding Bags
Simple rule of thumb:
Anti-static = prevents static buildup
Static shielding = prevents static damage
Anti-Static Poly Bags
Pink Anti-Static flat bags provide excellent protection for sensitive electronic components. The pink anti-static material contains additives that effectively eliminate the hazard of static damage during packaging, storing and shipping. They have high surface resistivity and are amine-free, so they won't damage sensitive polycarbonate boards. Bags can be heat sealed or taped shut. Some sizes also available in seal top.

Static Shielding Bags
Static shielding bags provide a higher level of protection by blocking external static charges from reaching the contents. They use a multi-layer construction, often including a thin metal layer, to create a Faraday cage effect that protects highly sensitive electronics such as circuit boards, processors, and hard drives during shipping and storage. These bags are typically silver or metallic in appearance.
