Be careful, some antistatic bags are conductive!

For jobs like this I use laminating film. I take an empty A4 laminating 
pouch and feed it through the hot laminator at work. This produces a 
sheet of clear, high-temperature plastic, of just the right flexibility, 
which can easily be cut to the right shape.
