Abstract
Abstract A printed circuit board transporter which is durable and highly reusable and which provides a maximum of electrostatic discharge shielding. The box has a unitary outer shell fabricated from conductive polypropylene having a double wall separated by I-Beams. The outer shell is folded to provide a bottom, four sides, a top and a closing flap. The closing flap has at least one buckle which affixes to a clip affixed to the top. An inner layer of anti-static cushioning material is affixed to the inner surfaces of the bottom and top so that a printed circuit board can be held within the transporter and be safe from electrostatic discharge or radio frequency interference.
