Cleanroom and ESD Bags

ESD bags are available with different levels of protection depending on the application. Common options include static shielding bags for ESD-sensitive electronics, pink antistatic bags for controlling static generation, moisture barrier bags for moisture-sensitive components, and black conductive bags for conductive packaging applications.

Antistatic bags are designed to reduce the generation and build-up of static charge. Static shielding bags provide additional protection by helping to shield sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge and external static fields.

The right bag depends on the sensitivity of the component and the type of protection required. Static shielding bags are commonly used for ESD-sensitive electronics, while moisture barrier bags may be more suitable when components also require protection from humidity.

Moisture barrier bags are designed to protect moisture-sensitive electronic components during handling, storage and transportation. Their multi-layer construction helps reduce moisture vapour transmission while also providing ESD protection.

Cleanroom bags are designed for packaging, storing and handling products in contamination-controlled environments. They help protect contents from particles and other sources of contamination where cleanliness requirements need to be maintained.

Consider whether the item needs protection from electrostatic discharge, static generation, moisture, contamination or a combination of these risks. The required level of protection will determine whether pink antistatic bags, static shielding bags, moisture barrier bags, black conductive bags or cleanroom bags are most suitable.
