Anti-Static, ESD-Safe & Clean Packaging for Electronics
Electronics manufacturers, assemblers, and distributors need packaging that prevents electrostatic discharge damage, protects sensitive components during shipping, and maintains cleanliness throughout the supply chain. Flexible Poly Industries is your source for anti-static bags, clean poly bags, and protective packaging for the electronics industry — from semiconductor packaging to consumer electronics fulfillment.
Our ESD-safe materials protect your products from manufacturing floor to end customer. Pink anti-static polyethylene bags prevent static charge buildup and dissipate existing charges, providing proven protection for circuit boards, integrated circuits, electronic assemblies, and sensitive components at every stage of handling, storage, and shipping.
Electrostatic discharge is the invisible threat that costs the electronics industry billions of dollars annually in damaged components, field failures, and warranty claims. An ESD event of just 25 volts can damage sensitive semiconductor devices, yet a person walking across a carpet can generate 35,000 volts or more. Proper ESD-protective packaging is the first line of defense, and it must be maintained from component manufacturing through assembly, testing, packaging, shipping, and final delivery. Our anti-static bags provide this continuous protection throughout the distribution chain.
The difference between anti-static and static shielding bags is important for electronics packaging decisions. Anti-static (pink) bags are made from polyethylene treated with an anti-static agent that prevents triboelectric charge generation — the static that builds up when materials rub together. These bags are cost-effective and appropriate for most electronics packaging applications. Static shielding (silver/metallized) bags create a Faraday cage effect that blocks external electrostatic fields from reaching the contents. For most standard electronics packaging, anti-static bags provide adequate and cost-effective protection.
Consumer electronics packaging has its own requirements beyond ESD protection. Products sold to consumers through retail and online channels need suffocation warning bags, tamper-evident packaging, and attractive presentation. Our suffocation warning bags meet FBA and retail requirements while providing a clear view of the product inside. Shrink film creates sealed, tamper-evident retail packaging with excellent clarity.
Southern California is home to a significant electronics manufacturing, design, and distribution ecosystem. From the defense electronics companies in El Segundo to the consumer electronics brands in Irvine to the component distributors throughout the region, electronics businesses in Southern California need a local packaging supplier that understands their ESD requirements and can deliver quickly. Our Pasadena location serves this market with nationwide shipping on stock items and rapid custom manufacturing for specialized requirements.

Common questions about poly bags and packaging for electronics & tech product packaging.
Anti-static (pink) bags prevent static buildup on the bag surface and dissipate charge through the anti-static treatment in the polyethylene. They protect against triboelectric charge generation during handling. Static shielding (silver/metallized) bags create a Faraday cage that blocks external electrostatic fields from reaching the contents. Anti-static bags are sufficient for most applications and cost 40-60% less than shielding bags. Use shielding bags only when components are extremely sensitive or when external ESD fields are a documented risk in your environment.
Common PCB bag sizes range from 3"x5" for small boards to 12"x18" for large assemblies, and up to 24"x36" for the largest populated boards. We stock 7 standard sizes that cover the most common PCB dimensions. For boards with tall components (heatsinks, connectors), choose a bag with enough clearance to avoid contact with the seal area. Custom sizes are available for boards that do not fit standard dimensions.
Yes. Suffocation warning bags for Amazon FBA and retail compliance, shrink film for tamper-evident retail packaging, anti-static bags for products containing sensitive electronic components, and clean poly bags for accessories and packaging inserts. We supply the complete range of packaging that consumer electronics brands need from manufacturing through retail distribution.
Store anti-static bags in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment. Keep bags away from direct sunlight and high humidity. The anti-static treatment has a shelf life of approximately 2-3 years under normal storage conditions. Do not store anti-static bags in close contact with highly charged materials like styrofoam packing peanuts, which can overwhelm the anti-static treatment.
Assembled PCBs should be packaged in anti-static bags sized to prevent board movement during transit. Use 4 mil bags for puncture resistance from component leads and connectors. For high-value assemblies, consider double-bagging or using anti-static bags inside cushioned packaging. Seal the bag to prevent dust and moisture entry during shipping. Label the outside of the bag with ESD sensitivity markings.
Yes. Our anti-static bags provide effective ESD protection for component storage periods of 1-2 years under normal warehouse conditions. For longer storage periods or humid environments, verify that the anti-static treatment is still effective by testing surface resistance periodically. For critical long-term storage of expensive components, consider moisture barrier bags in addition to anti-static protection.
Yes. Electronics repair shops and rework facilities need anti-static bags for storing removed components, protecting replacement parts, and packaging repaired assemblies. We supply small-quantity bags for repair operations as well as volume quantities for larger rework facilities. Stock sizes ship with competitive lead times with low minimums required.
Lithium battery products have specific shipping regulations under DOT, IATA, and USPS rules that govern packaging, labeling, and documentation. Our poly bags can serve as inner packaging within approved lithium battery shipping packages, but the overall packaging system must meet applicable hazmat shipping regulations. Consult your shipping carrier for current lithium battery shipping requirements and contact us for the poly bag component of your packaging system.
