Boveda: the original terpene Shield
With an increasing number of terpenes being studied for their pharmaceutical benefits in cannabis, along with the rising demands of the international craft market, commercial growers are focusing on optimizing the quality and quantity of these vital compounds. However, drying and curing aren’t the final stages where terpenes and moisture content can be compromised. Even premium packaging can lead to moisture loss through evaporation, with some estimates suggesting that up to 30% of a flower’s moisture is lost to the packaging headspace alone.
Packaging - more than just a container
Packaging and design of the product play a significant role in the overall user experience, as well as the ultimate buy decision. Having a great product alone is not enough, as buyers are looking for something with a “look and feel” that they can relate to.
For example, in the U.S., where cannabis remains federally illegal, millennials account for over 22% of cannabis consumption. It is well documented that, in general, millennials care deeply about the ethos of a brand and what it stands for.

The role of active water management
Active water management is the key factor when it comes to preserving the quality of the terpene profile on dried flower:
- Too moist, and the flower is susceptible to mould, yeast and bacterial pathogens.
- Too dry, and the quality and quantity of the terpene profile is greatly diminished. This inevitably leads to the associated loss of potency, texture, aroma and flavours.
The solution: Boveda’s two-way active water control
Boveda offers an innovative solution to this moisture management challenge with its two-way active water control sachets. These sachets are designed to maintain the optimal range of 52% to 62% relative humidity (RH), as defined by ASTM International standards. By managing moisture levels through a reverse osmosis membrane, Boveda sachets ensure the terpenes remain intact, preserving the product’s quality for a longer period.
How do Boveda sachets work?
The two-way membrane in each Boveda sachet works by releasing or absorbing water vapor as needed, maintaining the ideal moisture level for your cannabis flowers. This process coats the trichomes with the precise amount of moisture required, locking in terpenes and minimizing loss. Studies show that Boveda sachets outperform glycerin-based alternatives, with some cases requiring up to six glycerin-based sachets to achieve the same performance as a single Boveda sachet.
Sizing and customization
There are a range of sizes available in the sachets, your requirement with be determined by the quantity of flower you need to manage. The sachets handle flower quantities from 3.5 g (1/8 oz) incrementally to 2.25 Kg (5 lbs) and multiple packs can be used for greater quantities. Your local Can-Hub representative can advise on the perfect choice for your requirements.
