Overall good advice, but this quoted bit is incorrect. The anti-static (dissipative-type) bag has a conductive coating on it to "wick" away any shocks/static electricity from reaching the Pine64 inside. Placing the Pine64 on top of the bag would cause it to make contact with a conductive surface, and possibly short-circuit if powered on.
This is rediculous ^^ ^^
... the coating is highly resistive and is designed to bleed off excesive electrostatic charge slowly. The bag will NOT short the board; any more than a static mat on the technicians work-station will short the board. Not a problem.
Failing to follow the advice on the previous post in proper handling of static sensitive boards IS a big problem; words to the wise.
