Greetings, all.
Dave Jones, who runs the EEVblog, has a few videos relating to anti-static
bags and mats. The first one that talks about anti-static bags is worth
watching. It shows the difference between the common pink anti-static bags
and the silvery static shielding bags. Those pink bags and the related
"anti-static" chip carriers don't do as much to protect your components as
you might think.

The first part of the third video (mainly starting around 2.5 minutes in)
talks about ESD matting that Dave was putting down on his lab benches.
