6x14 StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags - ESD Protection for Sensitive Electronics
StratoGrey static shielding bags from LK Packaging deliver comprehensive electrostatic discharge protection for sensitive electronic components. The buried metal construction creates a true Faraday cage that shields contents from static charges during handling, shipping, and storage. These 6x14 bags are sized for circuit boards, memory modules, and elongated electronic assemblies requiring reliable ESD protection.

How StratoGrey Protection Works
Unlike basic anti-static bags that only prevent charge generation, StratoGrey static shielding bags provide active barrier protection. The buried metal layer embedded within the film creates a conductive enclosure—a Faraday cage—that blocks external electrostatic fields from reaching sensitive components. This dual-action protection combines surface dissipation with electromagnetic shielding, meeting the stringent requirements of MIL-PRF-81705 Type III for static-sensitive electronics packaging.
Applications
The 6x14 dimension accommodates a wide range of electronic components and assemblies. Circuit board manufacturers use these bags for PCBs up to approximately 5.5x13.5 inches. Memory module distributors rely on this size for RAM sticks and SSD drives. Computer repair facilities store replacement parts including graphics cards, expansion cards, and I/O boards. The elongated format also suits cable assemblies, ribbon cables, and sensor arrays that require ESD protection during transport between workstations or to customers.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal layer blocks external static fields completely
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces—no corrosion or outgassing concerns
- Semi-Transparent Material: Identify contents without opening, maintaining ESD integrity
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seam ensures packaging integrity during handling and storage
- Seal-Top Closure: Resealable design for components accessed multiple times
- LK Packaging Quality: Defect prevention manufacturing builds reliability into every bag
Industries Served
Electronics manufacturing facilities depend on static shielding bags throughout their production lines. Contract manufacturers (CMs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) specify StratoGrey bags for component storage and shipping. Aerospace and defense contractors use these bags for mission-critical avionics components. Medical device manufacturers protect sensitive diagnostic equipment. Data center operations store replacement server components in ESD-safe packaging. The amine-free construction makes these bags particularly suitable for optical and polycarbonate components where outgassing could cause damage.
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between anti-static bags and static shielding bags?
A: Anti-static (pink) bags only prevent static generation from the bag material itself. StratoGrey static shielding bags provide true Faraday cage protection with a buried metal layer that blocks external electrostatic fields from reaching components inside—essential for sensitive semiconductors and ICs.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate lenses and displays?
A: Yes. The amine-free and amide-free interior will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or produce outgassing that could fog optical components. This makes them suitable for camera modules, display assemblies, and precision optics.
Q: Can I reuse these bags for storing components?
A: Yes, the seal-top closure allows repeated access while maintaining protection. Inspect bags for punctures or damage before reuse. For shipping to customers, always use new bags to ensure full protection.
