9x12 StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags - ESD Protection for Sensitive Electronics
StratoGrey static shielding bags from LK Packaging deliver professional-grade ESD protection for circuit boards, electronic components, and static-sensitive assemblies. The buried metal construction creates a true Faraday cage that shields contents from electrostatic discharge during handling, shipping, and storage. At 9x12 inches, this size accommodates PCBs, hard drives, graphics cards, and mid-sized electronic assemblies.
Specs: 9 x 12" | Buried metal layer | Static shielding | 500/case | 3/8" side seal | Amine-free interior
Industrial Applications
Electronics manufacturers rely on StratoGrey bags to protect PCBs and components throughout assembly and distribution. Computer refurbishment operations use this size for hard drives, RAM modules, and expansion cards. Data center technicians store replacement drives and network cards in static shielding bags for safe inventory management. Aerospace and medical device manufacturers specify amine-free ESD packaging to meet strict contamination control requirements. Repair depots and RMA processing centers use these bags to protect customer returns and warranty replacements during transit.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal construction provides double-layer shielding against static discharge and electromagnetic interference
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces and sensitive optics—produces no outgassing that could damage components
- Semi-Transparent Material: Easy visual identification of contents without opening the bag—reduces handling and secondary ESD exposure
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seal ensures packaging integrity during storage and handling in warehouse environments
- Seal Top Closure: Fold-over seal allows multiple access without compromising protection—ideal for frequently accessed inventory
- Reusable Design: Contents can be accessed multiple times while maintaining ESD protection throughout product lifecycle

Common Questions
Q: What electronics fit in a 9x12 static shielding bag?
A: The 9x12" size accommodates standard ATX motherboards (with slight overhang), most graphics cards, 3.5" hard drives, SSD arrays, laptop motherboards, and mid-sized PCB assemblies. Allow 1/2" clearance for the fold-over seal.
Q: What's the difference between anti-static bags and static shielding bags?
A: Anti-static (pink) bags only prevent static buildup from the bag itself. Static shielding bags like StratoGrey contain a buried metal layer that creates a Faraday cage, actively blocking external ESD from reaching contents—critical for sensitive ICs and assembled boards.
Q: Why does amine-free matter for electronics packaging?
A: Amine-based materials can outgas and leave residue that corrodes polycarbonate lenses, optical sensors, and certain IC packages. StratoGrey's amine-free formulation is safe for cleanroom environments and sensitive optical components.
