use pink-poly bags.
allow any standard plastic packaging materials to touch the electronic
Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or
bin.
1. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to
dissipate:
 If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist
strap is connected to a ground point.
 If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the
conductive work surface.
 In either case wait several seconds.
2. Place the item in the container.
3. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-
ESD tape.
 Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the
effects of static fields.
 Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed
prevents the bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the
device.
