8x12 Pink Anti-Static Bags - Heavy-Duty ESD Protection for Electronic Components
These 6 mil pink anti-static bags from LK Packaging provide robust static dissipative protection for sensitive electronic components during packaging, storage, and shipping operations. The heavy-duty 6 mil thickness offers excellent puncture resistance for handling sharp-legged components and heavier assemblies, while the anti-static material safely dissipates electrostatic charges that could damage circuitry.

Anti-Static Properties
The pink polyethylene material contains proprietary anti-static additives that provide reliable static dissipative performance. With surface resistivity of 10¹² ohms per square inch, these bags effectively eliminate static buildup during handling operations. The formulation is completely amine-free, making it safe for use with polycarbonate circuit boards and other sensitive materials that can be damaged by amine-based anti-static agents.
When to Use Pink Anti-Static vs. Shielding Bags
Pink anti-static bags are designed for applications where static control is required but Faraday Cage protection is NOT needed. Use these bags for:
- Components that need protection from static buildup during handling
- Parts storage and organization in ESD-controlled environments
- Internal transfers within a static-controlled facility
- Secondary packaging inside shielding containers
For highly sensitive components requiring full electromagnetic shielding and Faraday Cage protection during external shipping, consider metalized shielding bags instead.
Commercial Applications
The 8x12 size accommodates a wide range of electronic assemblies and components used across multiple industries:
- Electronics Manufacturing: Packaging circuit boards, PCB assemblies, and populated boards up to approximately 7x11 inches
- Computer Hardware: Storage of hard drives, SSDs, memory modules, and expansion cards
- Telecommunications: Protection of network cards, modems, and communication modules
- Medical Devices: Packaging of electronic diagnostic equipment components
- Aerospace & Defense: Sensitive avionics and control system components
- Automotive Electronics: ECU modules, sensors, and control boards
Key Features
- 6 Mil Heavy-Duty Construction: Extra-thick material resists punctures from component leads, standoffs, and sharp edges
- Amine-Free Formula: Will not damage or discolor polycarbonate boards or sensitive plastics
- Static Dissipative: Safely bleeds off electrostatic charges during handling
- Visual Identification: Industry-standard pink color immediately identifies ESD-protective packaging
- Versatile Closure Options: Heat seal for secure permanent closure or use tape for reusable access
- Transparent Material: Allows visual inspection and barcode scanning without opening
Storage & Handling Recommendations
Store bags in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight. For optimal anti-static performance, use within 12-18 months of receipt. When heat sealing, use standard polyethylene sealing equipment at 275-325°F with 1-2 second dwell time. Always handle with grounded wrist straps or in an ESD-safe workstation environment.
