Egg Cartons and ESD

WILLIS COOKE
I used the plastic box method.  I like the idea of having a lid that closes when you are not working so maybe you will not spill all those little screws on the carpet or even the desk.  I bought mine at Fry's and it was about $7 or 8.  Don't put the ESD sensitive stuff in the box or tray.  Keep the boards wrapped in the original foam until you are ready to install them.  ESD will not hurt the screws, bolts and nuts.

I'd say you don't need the foam, as long as you leave the boards in  
their ESD bags
