Top-load electrostatic discharge bag for components

A system, comprising:

• a component;
• and
• an electrostatic discharge bag that includes:
• a bottom portion for supporting the component,
• a front portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and including a first inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion,
• a first side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a second inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a first pair of outside-in creased edges,
• a second side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a third inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a second pair of outside-in creased edges,
• wherein the first pair of outside-in creased edges and the second pair of outside-in creased edges enable the electrostatic discharge bag to collapse inward and downward toward the component supported by the bottom portion, and
• a rear portion integrally connected to the bottom portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion and including a fourth inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion.

A method, comprising:

• providing a component in an electrostatic discharge bag that includes:
• a bottom portion for supporting the component,
• a front portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and including a first inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion,
• a first side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a second inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a first pair of outside-in creased edges,
• a second side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a third inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a second pair of outside-in creased edges, and
• a rear portion integrally connected to the bottom portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion and including a fourth inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion;
• forcing the first side portion and the second side portion inward based on the first pair of outside-in creased edges and the second pair of outside-in creased edges to cause the electrostatic discharge bag to collapse inward and downward toward the component;
• overlapping the rear portion over the front portion to form a seam;
• and
• applying an adhesive material to the seam to seal the component in the electrostatic discharge bag.
