What's the best way to ship internal memory cards?

I have 2 memory sticks for a laptop I am mailing. I know that when you purchase things of this nature they are in an antistatic plastic bag but I don't have those. How should I mail these?

What's the best way to ship internal memory cards?
First place them in antistatic bags





Then rap them in bubble rap





Then place them in reasonably firm containers caboard or plastic (sturdy plastic containers would be safer)





To be extra carefully ensure that the container is sealed to keep moist or water out





Then mark the container "FRAGILE ELECTRONIC MATERIAL"





And for as long as the delivery people are genuinely trying their best to do their job there should be no problems at all and the goods shod get there safely
Reply:anti static bags are made of polyester, a.k.a. mylar for the comic book fans. it's the same type of bag that potato chips are put in. so finish off that bag of doritos ranch, wipe the inside of the bag clean, then wrap your memory sticks in them. then wrap the entire thing well in a padded envelope, or a padded cardboard mailer








you know those silver solar eclipse sunglasses? those are made of mylar too (thicker than potato chip bags mind you...)
Reply:you can purchase anti-static bags at shipping stores like fed ex kinkos. i would not suggest shipping any sort of low voltage electronic device without one.
Reply:wrap in newspaper, then bubble-wrap;or cardboard backing
