Someone I know sends disks to people (including
myself) wrapped in aluminum foil. I keep them
as he sent them, so I can tell which disks he
sent me. The only problem is after getting
them out I have a tough time getting them
back in the box because of the foil.

This brings to mind a question: I have lots of
chips packaged in
static-safe chip tubes which are then put in
metalized anti-static plastic
bags. Is it okay to put packages like this into
said staticy plastic
tubs?
Yes. But to be even safer, you could line the
inside of those bins, and
if you can, the sides and top with aluminum foil.
This will build
something like a Faraday cage which will keep the
chip tubes nice and
safe.
