The Surgery Is Now Open

Hi Gareth,

You're absolutely right — many computer components, especially things like graphics cards and motherboards, are extremely sensitive. One of the biggest threats is static electricity. Even a small static charge can permanently damage these delicate parts. To prevent that, the first step is to place each item in an anti-static bag. Our open-top metallized shielding bags are perfect for this — they help dissipate static charges and protect your components from harm.

Once the item is in the anti-static bag, you can add an extra layer of protection by placing it inside an anti-static bubble bag. This not only helps cushion the item against shocks and impacts during transit but also adds another barrier against static electricity. If you’re packaging items for in-store sales, these two steps should be enough. However, if you're shipping them out, I'd recommend putting everything into a single-wall box for added security.

Remember, even the smallest details can make a big difference when it comes to protecting your products. Always double-check your packaging before sending anything out.

Thanks, The Packaging Doctor
