Forgive the horribly embarrassingly so-late-it's-early chime-in from a dork on his phone :P but it's worth noting that antistatic bags are generally conductive on one side (and only one side!) -- especially the darkly-translucent aluminized Mylar kind.
ah. that's good to know :)
i've never had any issues with this, perhaps a different type of bag?
still if you are concerned, pablo, use a piece of paper instead. just please not a plastic bag (PC, Nylon, PVA)
it goes without saying that you should not be wearing your favourite polyester shirt, rubber-soled shoes and the 70s nylon fashionable trousers and the brown wool hairy cardigan [i actually had one of those], doing this all on the shag rug carpet.
if you don't have an anti-static mat (with the strap and everything) then a tiled floor, wooden desk, and if you have a radiator nearby or you know *for a fact* that a piece of electrical or electronic equipment has an earth connection (many laptop PSUs *DO NOT HAVE GROUND*) just touch the metal before handling the PCBs ok?
