If you want to avoid this significant cost, you should consider the packaging you’re using. Depending on your products, you may want to consider a variety of materials that offer general protection through to specialist electrostatic discharge packaging
So, what electronics packaging should you use?
For general damage protection

For specialist anti-static protection
If you’re packing sensitive electronic components you will want to use anti-static packaging. You may also hear this referred to has electrostatic discharge packaging.
Anti-static packaging products can include bags, films and foams that are manufactured especially to dissipate static charges. You’ll often find this packaging is pink in colour, to clearly indicate it’s anti-static.
For your highly sensitive electronics, you may want to invest in metallic barrier bags. These protect your goods from electronic static discharge by forming a Faraday cage around each item, which disperses the static. These bags can also be clearly printed with special warnings, which helps remind people to handle your goods with care.
