Abstract: An anti-static package for containing and manipulating an electronic component susceptible to damage from electrostatic charges. The anti-static package is comprised of a container body and a lid, wherein the lid is adapted to allow indirect manipulation of the electronic component through the use of an adhesive surface on a compressible member attached to the lid to form an adhesive bond between the lid and the electronic component, and two camming surfaces, controlled by a user's fingers or an analogous tool The adhesive is specially selected for both its anti-static properties and the lack of residue left on the electronic component as a result of forming an adhesive bond.
