I had a fight with a customer onetime when we shifted from mylar to the
pink bags. He was all pissed off and read me the riot act that the bags
were no good.
He was sitting at his desk with a voom and no way he could find any
conductivity in the bags. No good. Never mind they only needed to be
there for shipping, he never inventoried them at his end. Never mind
this was irrelevant.
Never mind that the mylar bags we used had no conductivity except in the
megohms either.

Rub the bubble wrap against itself and see if you get a reading on a

Like the pink poly bags, it has less potential to
create static than
regular bubble wrap. I never wrap boards in it alone, although I've
gotten a lot of boards that way (as well as wrapped in regular
bubble wrap and everything else one could possibly use).
How do we actually even know ? Other than it being 'pink' is there a
way to actually check it has any effect at all ?
