Hi,
Newbie here.
How do I package loose gold's pins and other small connectors that contain gold? It will be included with memory, cell phones and some peripheral boards.

Thanks

Be sure you don't put the bags in with other boards, they'll get shredded , put them in a small box if you're gonna put them in with other boards and label the box. Everything's got to be separated in separate boxes, boxes inside boxes, etc.And clearly labeled.

As suggested, pins go great in a plastic container with a good lid and if your material isn't packed really tight it will shift and circuit board are great at destroying bags. I like to box different material and then put those boxes in another box, tetrised as tight as possible and then tape the shipping box well so even if it gets roughed up it won't fall apart.

A bit late.
Use pill bottles and related double twist or child locking lids.
My personal fav is to grab bottles of gummy vitamins on the $1 table a week before they expire. Dump the gummys in a bag. Drop the bag in a medication drop bin, and have a $1 bottle I can fill with many many clean gold pins.
I actually prefer the otc style white HDPE bottles. Think pain killers and vitamin style. Those bottles really hold up.
