I think the issue here is that you want to get your shop traveler slips into
dissipative carriers and your work instructions into static dissipative
binders and such.  The goal would be to protect the work in progress from
these plastic carriers, not the paper inside.  As a rule paper is not a
problem unless it is laminated, lacquered or has some other (usually glossy)
coating on it.  Paper, being naturally hygroscopic, will absorb humidity
from the air, be somewhat dissapative and will not normally will not
generate or hold a charge ( does not apply to Tyvek and other synthetics).
Try to charge up a piece of paper and check it with one of those small, hand
held, static field meters.
