For the PCB I sold on KLOV, I wrapped it in a bunch of foam and tossed some packing peanuts in the corners to make it nice and tight... the packing peanuts got me a proper chewing out from the buyer. :angry: Glad to hear you sold it, hope you were able to offset the cost of the cab a bit. I've had good luck doing the same. |

Apparently packing peanuts are like PCB kryptonite because of the possibility of static (but more likely just a collector being anxious- it only bugged me because I always try to pack things very well). He said newspaper would have been better. ??? --- Quote from: yotsuya on September 12, 2011, 06:31:53 pm --- --- Quote from: thefearsomefearful on September 11, 2011, 01:43:22 pm ---For the PCB I sold on KLOV, I wrapped it in a bunch of foam and tossed some packing peanuts in the corners to make it nice and tight... the packing peanuts got me a proper chewing out from the buyer. :angry: Glad to hear you sold it, hope you were able to offset the cost of the cab a bit.

Newsprint has a tendency to leave ink residue everywhere. Not a huge deal, but it can be a mess and tends to gather other potentially conductive dirt and debris. Unbleached brown packing paper is actually a really good option. If you don't want to buy it, go down to the grocery store and get a few paper bags to chop up :) I also like the Geami Greenwrap stuff that Digi-Key uses. Packing peanuts can be static generators, yes, but if you've got the board in a well sealed full shielding bag, it's not a big deal (but avoid them nonetheless). They do make special anti-static packing peanuts; they're usually pink. Anti-static foam sheets are also made and are also usually pink. Note that old TTL based designs are actually not particularly static sensitive, though there's of course no reason to cause unnecessary exposure. Some CMOS designs are worse than others, but always assume a good zap will do a CMOS design in. |
