Antistatic bags too big

[LardMaster]

I'm shipping some components by air but only have very big antistatic bags, like motherboard size, that I also need to use for things like RAM, the HDD and the wireless card. I'm worried that because the bags are so big the components will move around in the flight too much, and I read somewhere that you're not allowed to fold antistatic bags. Is there anything I can do about this (buying other bags is not an option). I thought of maybe tightly wrapping tape around the outside to make the bag a tight fit around the parts. Also is it safe (from the antistatic perspective) to put more that one component in each bag if they all have plenty of room? Thanks in advance chaps.

The bags are only to stop static from the outside. Pack stuff inside to fill it up with all your bits. You can fold it. Just tape it down.

Hi LardMaster
you can wrap your HDD's, Ram and Cards in bubble wrap they will be fine , place the mobo in the antistatic bag , you can fold and tape it and it will be fine
once all components are wrapped pack them in a cardboard seperating components with bubble wrap, make sure motherboard goes on top.
I recommend you take them in your hand luggage to avoid damage in transit

So it's fine to fold an antistatic bag in half length ways or width ways?
