Transparent box for protecting against damage from electrostatic discharge and sheet material to be cut into a box blank for forming same

A box for protecting electronic components from electrostatic discharge, formed from a box blank comprising:

• an electrically insulating, transparent, polymeric sheet;
• a continuous, transparent, electrically conductive layer disposed on at least one surface of polymeric sheet;
• said polymeric sheet having grooves on first surface of said box blank forming said fold lines;
• said box blank, when folded into said box, having sufficient stiffness to enable said box to hold its shape.

A box for protecting electronic components from electrostatic discharge, formed from a first and a second box blank, each of said first and said second box blank comprising:

• an electrically insulating, transparent, polymeric sheet;
• a continuous, transparent, electrically conductive layer disposed on a first surface of said polymeric sheet;
• said polymeric sheet having grooves on one surface of said box blank forming fold lines along which said box blanks are folded to form said box;
• said first box blank being formed into a container having an open top, said first box blank being folded with said first surface of said polymeric sheet being exterior of said box;
• said second box blank being formed into a lid which can cover said open top of said container and having edges securing said lid to said container, said second box blank being folded with said first surface of said polymeric sheet being exterior of said box, said edges of said lid being formed with said second box blank being folded back on itself making said electrically conductive layer present on the interior surface of said edges.
