Abstract
Abstract An anti-static package composed of a multiply flexible film. The inner ply is an anti-static material and the outer ply is an electrically insulating material. A conductive metallic ply is sandwiched between the inner and outer ply. The conductive material is sputtered onto one of the two plies and the other ply is bonded by an adhesive bond to the metal ply.
