Preserve Your Herb Packages With Boveda Packs

Herbs need to be stored under the right moisture conditions and Boveda packs are a perfect tool for maintaining a perfect environment. Boveda packs are moisture control packs that keep the humidity levels in the container where the herbs are stored at a good level to keep them fresh.

Boveda is a two-way humidity control product. If the container is too moist, the package reduces it to optimal levels, and the other way around if it is too dry. Businesses in areas where the humidity levels are extreme on either end use these products a lot.

If you need to use a humidity pack to preserve your product, these are some simple tips to follow:

• Get your herbs and an airtight container
• Tear open the plastic wrapper on the side of the Boveda pack carefully
• Remove the product and fit it into the container that has the hemp products
• Seal the container shut with its airtight lock
• Keep the container in a safe location and change the Boveda pack every three months.

Asides from flowers, this Boveda product is also used to preserve cigars, wood instruments, brown sugar, dried herbs, spices, and others, so you can rest assured that it is efficient. Protect your product from moldy contamination by storing it in a container with Boveda packs today.

Try Integra Boost Humidity Control Packs

Like the Boveda products, Integra Boost humidity packs are also useful for controlling moisture in a container. The packs are two-way humidity regulators, perfect for preserving herb products in airtight containers. Depending on the level of control the environment requires, Integra Boost packs are delivered as 55% or 62% packs.

When packaging herbs, preserving the product’s potency and color is a very important requirement because these are the features consumers are interested in. If moisture is uncontrolled it can cause the herbs to lose these two important features, but with Integra Boost packs, you have nothing to worry about.

Integra Boost has packs specially for pre-rolls and packs for other containers that can carry herbs.

Glass Jars for Storing Herbs With Humidity Packs

Out of all the packaging containers available, glass jars have always been a favorite. A glass container is durable enough to protect the herbs, and it looks attractive when it's holding a full load of flowers. Furthermore, since the containers are reusable, they are also great for businesses looking to build a sustainable brand image.

In terms of storage, glass jars can be covered with airtight covers to protect them from dangerous elements in the atmosphere. When storing a product as delicate as herbs, even oxygen can make the product lose potency. With an airtight cover, a glass jar also becomes fit to hold moisture control packs to ensure that the herbs stored in it have the perfect humidity conditions to stay fresh.

If you are interested in using your container for marketing, you can get your glass jars customized with your brand information. There are also rules on labeling flower packaging containers. Our designers can make covers that include all your design preferences and meet the statutory labeling requirements.

Final Thoughts on Using Humidity Packs

You can do everything right, by drying the herbs properly and storing them in airtight containers, but the flowers will still go bad if they are in a bad environment. Humidity packs are the one extra preservation step that can solve this problem. Whether you prefer Boveda or Integra Boost products, you should get one of these packs to control the humidity in all your packages.

Each Boveda packet contains three ingredients; purified water, natural salts, and odorless food-grade thickener. Depending on the conditions, these components enable the Boveda packs to absorb or release moisture into your stash and maintain favorable conditions. This is also what makes Boveda 2-way humidity control packs. Furthermore, the ingredients of Boveda create a compound shield, a monolayer of purified water that prevents the evaporation of flavored compounds. Boveda packs also consist of an outer biodegradable kraft paper wrapping and a patented water-vapor permeable membrane that acts as a reverse osmosis layer.

Boveda begins working instantly. As soon as you place the packs inside an airtight container, Boveda packs start regulating humidity inside it. They bring the relative humidity inside containers to the precise percentage indicated on the sachets within 20 minutes. It also maintains this relative humidity for as long as the container remains closed. Hence, Boveda is much faster and more effective than other humidity control solutions.

Boveda packs can last from two to six months when actively protecting your herbs, depending on your container and its surrounding environment. On the other hand, Boveda has a two-year shelf life when not in use. Even so, there are techniques you can employ to increase the lifespan of your Boveda. One of the approaches you can harness is using the biggest Boveda pack that fits your container. Doing this will reduce the workload of the Boveda by increasing its surface area. You can also use an airtight container or ensure that your jar is tightly closed to minimize airflow. This will prevent drastic changes in humidity and help your Boveda last longer.

To ensure you always get optimal protection, Boveda manufacturers advise against recharging exhausted packs. Essentially, this is because the Boveda packs will not reach their precise relative humidity. Therefore, opting to use a rehydrated Boveda means you risk damaging your precious goods due to extreme humidity fluctuations. Moreover, when Boveda packs are depleted, the salt residue inside crystallizes and develops sharp edges that could penetrate the pack’s inner membrane and cause leaks. The leaking moisture could damage your goods without your knowledge.

No. Avoid mixing Boveda relative humidity levels in the same container. Mixing Boveda packs with other humidification products within the same confinement can cause the packs to cancel each other out and reduce their efficiency. Consequently, this would create a hostile environment for your products and lead to damage.
