Bob, is the shelf liner conductive? What about thin lines of conductive ink in a grid pattern on a clear plastic film? Note that some antistatic bags are still insulating but are treated with a chemical which reduces their tendency to create areas of electric charge. The ones which have a metallic sheen to them have a very thin metal layer, but it is sandwiched between two non-conductive plastic layers and I've never been able to, for example, use an ohm meter to pierce through the plastic and make contact with the metal film inside. You may have trouble making a connection to it. LCDs (not touchscreen LCDs per se, but just regular LCDs) use a very thin layer of Indium Tin Oxide to make contact between the segments and the edge connection, but that must be applied by sputtering so it is not something easily done for one-offs.
