Shipping ESDs

Conductive As a matter of policy, modules and components should be stored and shipped
packing
only in conductive packing – for example, metalized plastic boxes, tin cans.
Should packing not be conductive, modules must be conductively wrapped
before they are packed. You can use, for example, conductive foam rubber,
ESD bags, domestic aluminum foil and paper (under no circumstances should
you use plastic bags or foils).
Protecting/covering
With modules containing fitted batteries, make sure that the conductive
batteryconnections
packing does not come into contact with or short-circuit battery connections;
if necessary, cover battery connections beforehand with insulating tape or
insulating material.
