-===== Density =====+Typically ESD bags are aluminum coated mylar. Pink bags are dissipative, while blue bags offer no protection, but don't generate static. Do foams carry the same convention?
  
-Vendors talk about low and high density foams.  There doesn't seem to be any agreement whatsoever as to what these mean, even within the same vendors.  Look at the kg/m3 ratings I guess if you care about density
