12x18 Pink Anti-Static Bags - Static-Safe Protection for Electronics
These 12x18 pink anti-static bags from LK Packaging provide reliable static dissipative protection for sensitive electronic components during packaging, storage, and shipping. The pink material contains specialized anti-static additives that safely discharge static buildup, protecting circuit boards, semiconductors, and other ESD-sensitive devices from damaging electrostatic discharge.

Anti-Static Technology
The distinctive pink color indicates anti-static properties that meet industry standards for ESD-sensitive component handling. Unlike standard polyethylene, this material incorporates anti-static additives throughout the film that create a controlled static dissipative surface. The 10¹² ohms/sq.in. surface resistivity allows safe, gradual charge dissipation without the sudden discharge that damages sensitive electronics.
Amine-Free Formulation
This anti-static material uses an amine-free formulation specifically designed for electronics applications. Traditional amine-based anti-static additives can cause corrosion on sensitive polycarbonate circuit boards and certain metal contacts. The amine-free formula in these bags eliminates this risk, making them safe for direct contact with polycarbonate boards, connectors, and other corrosion-sensitive components.
Industrial Applications
- Electronics Manufacturing: Packaging PCBs, modules, and subassemblies during production
- Component Storage: Long-term storage of ICs, chips, and sensitive parts in inventory
- Shipping Protection: Safe transport of electronic goods and replacement parts
- Repair Operations: Organizing and protecting components during service work
- Cleanroom Packaging: Non-contaminating static control for controlled environments
When to Use Pink Anti-Static vs. Static Shielding
Pink anti-static bags are ideal when static control is necessary but Faraday Cage protection is NOT required. These bags prevent static buildup on the bag surface and dissipate charges safely. For components requiring complete electromagnetic shielding from external static fields, consider static shielding (silver/metalized) bags instead. Pink anti-static bags offer cost-effective protection for most assembly, storage, and shipping applications.
Key Features
- Consistent Protection: Anti-static properties throughout entire bag, not just surface treatment
- Transparent Pink: Easy visual identification of contents while indicating ESD-safe packaging
- Flexible Closure: Heat seal for permanent closure or tape for reusable applications
- Durable Construction: 2 mil thickness provides tear resistance for handling and storage
Size Applications
The 12x18 inch size accommodates larger circuit boards, multiple smaller components, tablet-sized devices, laptop motherboards, power supplies, and assembled electronic modules. This generous dimension provides adequate clearance for proper sealing while protecting larger assemblies common in industrial electronics.
