StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags 12x16 - Reclosable ESD Protection for Electronics
StratoGrey 12x16 static shielding bags deliver true Faraday cage protection with the convenience of a reclosable seal top closure. The buried metal construction provides double protection against electrostatic discharge, safeguarding sensitive circuit boards, components, and electronic assemblies during storage, handling, and shipping. Ideal for operations requiring repeated access to ESD-sensitive contents.
Specs: 12 x 16" | Buried metal static shielding | Reclosable seal top | 500/case | 3/8" side seal | Amine-free
Commercial Applications
These StratoGrey ESD bags serve critical roles in electronics manufacturing, repair, and distribution operations. Computer assembly and refurbishment facilities use this 12x16 size for motherboards, graphics cards, and larger circuit board assemblies. Medical device manufacturers protect sensitive diagnostic equipment components. Aerospace and defense contractors rely on static shielding for avionics modules and instrumentation. Data center operations stock these for server components, hard drives, and replacement parts. The reclosable design makes these ideal for inventory that requires multiple access cycles during testing, quality control, or staged assembly processes.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Construction: Buried metal layer provides true static shielding, not just dissipation—blocks external ESD events from reaching contents
- Reclosable Seal Top: Zipper-style closure allows repeated access without compromising protection—ideal for parts that must be accessed during testing or assembly
- Amine-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or cause outgassing—safe for sensitive optics and PC-based components
- Semi-Transparent Material: Easy visual identification of contents without opening—reduces handling and improves inventory management
- 3/8" Side Seal: Strong seam construction ensures packaging integrity during storage and transport
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding and anti-static bags?
A: Static shielding bags like StratoGrey create a Faraday cage that blocks external electrostatic fields from reaching the contents. Anti-static (pink poly) bags only prevent static buildup on the bag surface—they don't protect against external discharge events. For sensitive electronics, static shielding provides superior protection.
Q: What size components fit in a 12x16 static shielding bag?
A: The 12x16" size accommodates standard ATX motherboards (up to 12x9.6"), most graphics cards, laptop motherboards, and medium circuit board assemblies. Allow 1-2" clearance for comfortable insertion and seal closure.
Q: Why does amine-free matter for electronics packaging?
A: Amine compounds can cause corrosion on polycarbonate and certain metal surfaces over time. StratoGrey's amine-free interior prevents this chemical interaction, making it safe for long-term storage of optics, lenses, and polycarbonate-housed components.
