5x8 Pink Anti-Static Bags - ESD Protection for Sensitive Electronics
These 5x8 pink anti-static bags from LK Packaging provide reliable static dissipative protection for small electronic components, circuit boards, and sensitive parts. The 4 mil thickness delivers excellent durability while the pink anti-static material actively eliminates static charge buildup during packaging, storage, and transport operations.

Anti-Static Technology
The pink polyethylene material contains specialized anti-static additives that prevent static electricity accumulation on the bag surface. Unlike standard poly bags that can generate damaging electrostatic discharge (ESD) through friction, these bags maintain a controlled surface resistivity that safely dissipates static charges. The distinctive pink color provides instant visual identification of anti-static packaging in production and warehouse environments.
Important: Static Control vs. Faraday Protection
Pink anti-static bags are designed for applications requiring static charge elimination but NOT Faraday Cage protection. For components requiring complete electromagnetic shielding from external static fields, consider metal-in or metal-out shielding bags. Pink anti-static bags are the appropriate choice when parts need protection from static generated during handling but do not require shielding from external ESD events.
Amine-Free Formulation
These bags feature an amine-free anti-static formulation, making them safe for use with polycarbonate circuit boards and other amine-sensitive components. Some anti-static agents can cause stress cracking or degradation in polycarbonate materials - this LK Packaging formulation eliminates that concern for electronics manufacturers and assembly operations.
Commercial Applications
- Electronics Manufacturing: Protect ICs, transistors, capacitors, and small PCBs during assembly and inter-station transport
- Component Distribution: Ship and store sensitive electronic parts with static protection throughout the supply chain
- Repair Operations: Safely store replacement components and recovered parts in service facilities
- Quality Control: Hold samples and test units without risking static damage
- Medical Device Assembly: Package electronic sensors and components for medical equipment production
- Aerospace & Defense: Protect mission-critical electronic components during handling and storage
Size Applications
The 5x8 inch format accommodates a wide range of small to medium electronic components. Common uses include packaging integrated circuits, memory modules, small circuit boards, electronic sensors, LED assemblies, connectors, and cable assemblies. The size also works well for bagging multiple small components together with documentation or serialization labels.
Key Features
- 4 Mil Heavy Duty: Thick material resists punctures from component leads and sharp edges
- Heat Sealable: Create tamper-evident sealed packages for shipping and inventory control
- Consistent Protection: Anti-static properties remain effective throughout storage life
- Cost-Effective: Bulk case quantity of 1,000 bags provides economical per-unit pricing
- Industry Standard: Pink color universally recognized as anti-static packaging in ESD programs
ESD Program Compliance
Pink anti-static bags support ESD control programs in accordance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and similar industry standards. When used as part of a comprehensive static control program including grounded workstations, wrist straps, and ESD-safe flooring, these bags provide an additional layer of protection for static-sensitive components.
