Not in this size. Most PCIe cards tend to be smaller in length and can be 
significantly thicker (think video cards) so the bags that would have fit ISA 
full length cards are no longer needed/manufactured.

Hi Grant,

Yes. Looking for a catch all bag for cards from half to full size ISA/EISA/MCA 
cards. I did find 6x14 heat seal bags but that doesn't work for me. I also 
found some places that do manufacture them but they were all out of stock.

I am currently using 9 x 13 zippered ones. They work fine but cards are not 
snug. However, at $100 for $23 shipped I am not complaining too much.

Thanks!

I bought a few dozen in several sizes, with zip-lock and plain tops, a 
couple of years ago from McMaster-Carr.  Search their site for "antistatic 
bags."

Hello,

Does anyone have a REASONABLY priced source for 6" x 14" anti-static bags
with zip lock tops? I've looked on eBay and Amazon with no luck. I have also
looked online and have only found heat sealable bags. I am not sure if it is
the sizing which the issue or what as other size bags seems to be easy to
find. TIA!


I buy shield bags from Digi-Key, but not the zip-lock style.  I think Uline has 
them.

I don't recall 6 x 14 bags, especially with zip lock tops, when I was 
recently looking for a recent need.


Are you wanting to put full sized PC expansion cards in bags?

I ended up buying bigger, (near) 12 x 14 non-zip-lock bags for my full 
sized cards.  I simply wasted part of the bag, or put two cards in with 
a fold down the middle to separate them.


ProTip:  Put the component sides away from each other so that the boards 
lay together best.  --  If you want to, put a piece of card board 
outside the bag between (like jelly) the two cards (bread) as a buffer.

Amazon may be another option, especially if you have Prime.  eBay might be 
another.  Do the math though to be sure.
