    Is it safe to pack my graphics card with plastic bags

    I got a GTX 670 from my cousin and I need to pack it for the 4 day drive home. I have a cardboard box that is around the same size of the card but the only packing material I have is plastic bags like you get at grocery stores, will the card be safe from electrostatic discharges and parts breaking?
