Hi Paul,

We took a look at the Tyvek packaging that some desiccant comes in and it generated a lot of static. You can take you packaging material and check it with a static meter to see how bad it is.

One of our operators asked a silly question that I should know, but
cannot find the answer.

"Are the packages of desiccant ESD safe?" Since we package complete
boards with it, it is a valid question.
