Definitely antistatic (conductive) foam, and avoid high static materials like many plastics. When handling, stay in a static safe environment: don't wear clothing that produces a lot of static, ground your body with a wrist strap, and work on a conductive surface. My experience comes from electronics manufacturing and repair jobs. I saw a really good video made by Apple and Woz back in the day but I can't find it now.

Is storing these in antistatic foam and in a (3D printed) plastic drawer of some kind OK? should i be buying/using IC Chip tubes instead? What's the best way to get reasonably priced supplies for safely storing vintage chips? Thanks! John
