Your local scrap electronics dealer. They pull everything out and throw
away the bags and foam. They are very happy to give it to you - It saves on
what goes into the dumpster that goes to the landfill. They have to pay for
everything that goes to the landfill. I have scrapper trained to save all
of it for me. Sometimes he even gets in boxes of brand new bags and foam.
:)
For DEC Unibus and Qbus boards I use the BA11 expansion boxes and fill them
up. I fit 5 BA11's in a rack and can still see quickly what I have and
don't have to use my limited supply of bags until I have to final test and
ship the board.
For other items I have thought about using RL02/RA8X slide rails and making
boxes lined with foam to hold them in the rack. Anything to help keeping
things easy to find and protected.

What is a recommend source for inexpensive pink
antistatic foam rolls
or
bags? I've looked in several industrial supply
catalogs, like Consolidated
Packaging, but want to see if there is a better price out there.
I've got so many boards...and so little time!
