<< The aim of antistatic bags is to form charge seperations instead of getting rid of the charges. Black plastic, filled with metallic carbon, is volume conductive. The volume conductive plastics, instead of protecting, can actually produce ESD and in turn damage any static sensitive materials... I hope that clears up any misconceptions. >>
What? Charge is "charge seperation". Forming charge seperation is the equivalent of forming clouds in the sky ready to produce lightning. This is exactly the opposite of what you want to do. Anti-static bags undoubtedly work by being conductive and preventing charge seperation.
Further, its Gauss Law that says automatically charge will go to the outside of the bag. By moving to the outside of the bag, like charges are able to increase the distance between themselves. The more to the inside of the bag they go, the closer they must be to each other and we know like charges dont like that. Thats why lightning strikes go on the outside of trees and rarely through the center unless its loaded with sap. And also why static on balloons is always on the outside.
