If you're talking assembled and working boards, you probably want to put
them in static-dissipative (primary) packaging and put that in antistatic
(secondary) packaging that's capable of protecting them mechanically. The
totes aren't all they're cracked up to be unless you have a way of sealing
them. The "nickel" bags as primary packaging with pink-poly
(non-static-generating) secondary packaging to protect them from physical
trauma and the whole thing in a sturdy box together with other similarly
packaged and protected boards should do the trick. A little dessicant to
prevent condensation inside the primary packaging is helpful as well.
