(Laptops) Is it possible, if so where, to buy RAM shock protections? (sopuli.xyz)

I am going to add an additional RAM stick to my laptop in the empty RAM slot on the motherboard, same exact RAM stick model.

Where can I get the protective layer I have on the first stick? Or do I just wrap it in electrical tape if even necessary?

It's just a precaution taken by the manufacturer, you don't need it.

It shouldn't be necessary. Just put another stick in, and go.

Asked as the manufacturer has wrapped the original stick in what seems to be just a neatly cut piece of electric tape. Maybe it's not necessary at all, as this stick doesn't seem to touch anything else inside the system.

Shouldn't be necessary, but you can just kapton tape.
