StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags 12x18 - Industrial ESD Protection by LK Packaging
These StratoGrey static shielding bags provide advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for sensitive electronic components and assemblies. The 12x18 inch size accommodates medium to large circuit boards, laptop motherboards, server components, and industrial control modules. LK Packaging's buried metal construction creates a true Faraday cage that shields contents from external static fields while dissipating any charge buildup.

ESD Protection Applications
The 12x18 StratoGrey bag size serves critical applications across electronics manufacturing, repair, and distribution operations. Contract manufacturers use these bags for packaging finished PCB assemblies before shipment to OEM customers. Electronics repair depots store replacement motherboards, graphics cards, and industrial PLCs in static shielding bags to prevent latent ESD damage during warehousing. Data center operations rely on this size for spare server memory modules, RAID controller cards, and network interface cards. The semi-transparent material allows visual inspection and barcode scanning without opening the package.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal layer creates complete electrostatic shielding against external static fields and discharge events
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces, outgas harmful compounds, or contaminate sensitive electronics
- Semi-Transparent Material: Allows visual identification of contents and barcode scanning without opening
- Resealable Top: Seal top closure enables repeated access during assembly or testing operations
- 3/8" Side Seals: Wide seals ensure packaging integrity during storage, handling, and shipping
- LK Packaging Quality: Consistent material thickness and seal strength across every bag in the case
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Static shielding bags like StratoGrey contain a buried metal layer that creates a Faraday cage, blocking external static discharge from reaching contents. Standard anti-static bags only prevent static buildup on the bag surface—they don't shield against external ESD events. For high-value components, static shielding bags provide superior protection.
Q: What size electronics fit in a 12x18 static shielding bag?
A: The 12x18 size accommodates components up to approximately 11x17" with minimal clearance. This fits standard ATX motherboards (12x9.6"), most graphics cards, server memory modules, industrial PLCs, and medium-sized PCB assemblies. Allow 0.5" clearance for sealing.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate components?
A: Yes. StratoGrey bags feature an amine-free and amide-free interior that will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces, cause stress cracking, or produce outgassing that could contaminate sensitive assemblies. Safe for optical drives, display components, and polycarbonate housings.
