WHY ANTI-STATIC PACKAGING?

According to research by industry experts, it was concluded that 33% of electrical item failures are caused by static. Most of the electronic thermal mass is restricted due to the small size of its components. All the electrical components are susceptible, so it is more likely that even the most minor charge can cause electrical device failure. Even human contact is enough to cause damage, as our bodies carry electrical charges. Although there are static-resistant garments, mats, and gadgets are available, it still requires a permanent solution. Anti-static packaging materials are specifically created to resist static and are available in different forms like bags, tubes, or stretch films. 

TYPES

Some of the common kinds of anti-static packaging are:

1. PINK ANTI-STATIC BAGS: The pink anti-static bags and tubes available in the traditional pink or red color (due to the dissipative chemical layer), is an economical option that gives protection against static dissipation, so they are also called Static Dissipative Bags. In a low-density polyethylene, a humectant additive is added, which attracts the moisture from the air and produces a shield of protection around the packaging and decreases the accumulation of damaging static. 
2. BLACK CONDUCTIVE TUBING: The black conductive tubing could be customized into any form, but it is mostly available in tube-stock and lay-flat bagging. It is manufactured of a single layer of conductive material, mostly carbon-load polyethylene. It guards the contents against the build-up of separate static charges.
3. STATIC-SHIELDING BAGS: The static-shielding bags are also referred to as transparent metallic shielding. These bags are multi-layered, and the tube-stock are metallic and transparent that shields the sensitive products from electrostatic fields. The static shielding bags manufacturers have made three layers of these bags for complete protection. The external layer is static-dissipative and low-charging; the middle layer is a conductive layer that consists of metal and retrains electric fields. The tear and puncture strength are provided by the interior layer that is made of polyester.
