Highshield ESD bags and boxes: pack once, protect twice!

I’m sure you know it: just a short, unfortunate bump on a conductive object – and you immediately get a characteristic discharge. This is due to the electrostatic charge, which is felt by humans from about 3,500 volts. Depending on the situation, values in excess of 20,000 volts can even arise, but fortunately common cases do not pose such a danger. However, what people perceive as pain for a while can pose a real danger to electronic devices. Anyone who frequently ships electronic components will be familiar with this problem. The electrostatic charge (or ESD as it is also known, Electrostatic Discharge) that is generated by the friction of the product against the packaging can damage or even completely destroy the delicate products inserted. The solution is ESD bags.

ESD bags for reliable protection

While it is not possible to prevent the generation of an electrical charge, it can be controlled quite well thanks to the expert packaging. For example, Highshield metallic ESD bags protect electronic products twice. They are made of a 4-layer, metallic Highshield film that protects your product from static charge as well as moisture and dust. The Highshield film is particularly insulating. When the ESD bag is fully sealed, a Faraday cage forms around your product, which deflects dangerous charges – much like sitting safely in your car during a thunderstorm.

If you want to seal your ESD bags quickly and reliably, then use the Highshield metallic bags with zipper, which you can also find in the Rajapack shop. Thanks to the zipper closure, you can not only close these bags in a flash, but also reopen them.

A recent innovation in the electrostatic protection range is the Highshield foam-fixed boxes, see picture above. These boxes protect your sensitive products against electrical discharge and, thanks to the soft foam, also against damage due to impact or shock during transport.

HighshieldESD bags and boxes are clearly the best solution for your delicate electronic products, avoiding any hazards associated with electrostatic electricity!
