Explanation
RAM modules and other electronic components are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Even a small static shock that a person cannot feel can permanently damage a memory chip. Antistatic containers (such as antistatic bags or foam-lined cases) are specifically designed to dissipate or prevent the buildup of static electricity, protecting the component during storage or transport. Mylar bags are reflective packaging materials not designed for ESD protection. Cardboard boxes and paper envelopes can actually generate and hold static charges, making them unsafe for storing sensitive electronics.
