subject: Static Shielding Bags and specialised packaging for the Electronics Industry [print this page] The sensitivity of the component being packaged and the estimated storage period are both elements to be considered when talking to your specialised packaging provider. Shielding bags are used not only because they prevent ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) sensitive components from charging up via a field induction but also because they minimise the potential damage from the sealed item coming into contact with an ElectroStatic Discharge Event. The Electrostatic Discharge Association (ESDA) provides information on international standards used to package electronic components.
