Hi folks,
What about the blue poly bags which used to contain the electronic components? Is it the same type of pink poly bag?

The pink bags have been treated to be hygroscopic, so that they will retain some moisture. The pink color is a dye used to identify the treated bags.The main advantage is that the bags do not generated static when the board is withdrawn from inside. You should be aware, however, that several years back some vendors were selling pink bags without the anti-static treatment. Some of these may still be around. For actual protection the bag must act as a Faraday cage. Thus the foil or metallized lining. The older (black) carbon loaded bags do provide some limited protection.
