Packing steps

Step-by-step0 / 6 checked

Ground yourself with a wrist strap connected to a grounded point
Select the correct size anti-static (pink) pouch: 10-20mm clearance per side
Handle the component by edges only, avoiding pins and contacts
Slide the component into the pouch with bubbles facing inward
Seal the pouch (self-seal strip or fold and tape)
Place the sealed pouch inside rigid outer packaging with void fill

Quick answer

Ground yourself, select the right size pink pouch, handle by edges, slide in with bubbles inward, seal, and place in outer packaging. The entire process takes 15-20 seconds. The anti-static pouch provides ESD and cushioning protection. The outer packaging provides structural protection against crushing and heavy impacts. Never skip the grounding step or use standard (clear) bubble.

Pro tips

Have the right sizes within arm s reach for speed.

Part number and ESD-sensitive labels for identification.

Anti-static pouch inside a moisture-barrier bag with desiccant.

Mistakes to avoid

❌
Not grounding yourself: transfers body static to the component
❌
Using standard clear bubble: generates static, zero ESD protection
No outer packaging: pouch alone does not protect against crushing
