Shielding vs Pink, Uses & Selection Guide
ESD Anti Static Bags: Which Type Do You Actually Need?
Intro
ESD anti static bags fall into different categories—shielding, antistatic (pink), and other dissipative/conductive options. Choosing the wrong category can leave sensitive electronics exposed.
Quick Comparison (table)
| Bag Type | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Static shielding (metallized) | Limits external fields/discharges | ESD-sensitive electronics |
| Pink antistatic | Reduces charge generation (not shielding) | Non-sensitive items in EPA / secondary use |
| Antistatic bubble | Cushioning + low charging | Secondary packaging, physical protection |
Standards buyers look for
Highlight IEC 61340-5-3 + ANSI/ESD S541 as “what serious programs reference.”
Shop by application (mini landing blocks)
-
PCB/IC shipping → shielding
-
Warehouse kitting in EPA → pink antistatic for non-sensitive items
-
Fragile parts → bubble bag/roll as secondary cushioning
