That was my similar confusion with esd bags though. At

thought they weren't conductive but later found they were which just

Varying degrees of conductivity..
Are tubes not good or is it that most folks don't
have plastic ic
tubes? (I fall into the latter category but I don't have any stock of
ics to protect either).
It's not like they're tough to find, or expensive. There's really no
excuse for not storing ICs properly. Some people (not directed at you)
are just loathe to spend even a couple of dollars to do something the
right way, and somehow they still feel justified complaining about (say)
blown ICs. I just don't get it.
