3 min readUpdated April 2025

Preparation

Ground yourself before handling any components
Use anti-static (pink) pouches never standard bubble
Handle by edges only avoid touching pins, contacts, and traces

Quick answer

Ground yourself, place the component in a correctly sized anti-static bubble pouch, seal, then pack inside a rigid outer box with void fill. The pouch provides ESD protection and cushioning. The box provides structural protection. For GPUs and larger PCBs, use a pouch 20-30mm larger than the board. For RAM and small components, use the smallest pouch that fits with 10mm clearance. Always ship with tracked delivery for accountability.

Outer packaging

The anti-static pouch provides ESD and basic cushioning. For postal transit, always add a rigid outer box with void fill around the pouch. The box protects against crushing and heavy impacts that the pouch alone cannot resist.
