Description
Precise 62% RH Moisture Control for Dried Herbs & Botanical Storage
Boveda 62% Humidipak is a maintenance-free 2-way humidity control pack designed to automatically regulate moisture inside sealed storage containers at 62% relative humidity (RH).
Unlike conventional humidifiers that only add moisture, Boveda works in both directions. When conditions become too dry, the pack releases purified water vapour. When humidity becomes too high, it absorbs excess moisture. This creates a stable storage environment without manual adjustments, refilling, or activation.
The 62% RH formulation is particularly suited to dried botanical material where a slightly higher moisture profile, softer texture, and maintained stickiness are preferred. Boveda identifies both 58% and 62% RH as appropriate for cannabis and hemp storage, with 62% providing the higher-moisture option.

How Boveda 62% Works
Each Boveda pack contains a specially prepared solution of purified water and natural salts enclosed inside a water-vapour permeable membrane.
The pack responds automatically to the environment inside the storage container.
When Humidity Is Too Low
Boveda releases purified water vapour into the container until conditions move toward the specified 62% RH.
When Humidity Is Too High
The same pack absorbs excess moisture from the surrounding environment.
This two-way process continuously responds to changing storage conditions, helping maintain a much more consistent moisture level than uncontrolled storage.
Why Choose 62% RH?
Boveda offers both 58% and 62% RH options for dried cannabis and hemp storage.
The 62% Humidipak is the higher-moisture option and is ideal for users who prefer:
- Slightly softer stored material
- Greater retained moisture
- Stickier texture
- Drier climates
- Higher-altitude environments
- Rehydrating overly dry material
- Long-term moisture stability
For those wanting a slightly drier texture or living in naturally humid environments, 58% RH may be preferred.
Helps Preserve Aroma & Terpenes
Humidity fluctuations can negatively affect dried botanical material during storage.
When material becomes excessively dry, volatile aromatic compounds can be lost more quickly. Boveda's controlled storage environment helps reduce unnecessary moisture fluctuations and supports the preservation of the material's original aroma, flavour, and physical characteristics.
Rather than adding artificial flavours or aromas, Boveda is designed to help protect what is naturally present in the stored material.
Helps Rehydrate Overly Dry Material
Boveda 62% can also be useful when dried material has become excessively dry.
Place the appropriate Boveda pack inside an airtight container with the material and allow the pack to gradually release purified water vapour.
The process is controlled by the 62% RH formulation, rather than introducing uncontrolled moisture directly to the stored material.
For particularly dry material, moisture restoration may take 24–48 hours or longer, depending on the quantity, dryness, container seal, and pack size.
Available Boveda Sizes
Choose the pack size according to the amount of material being stored.
| Boveda Size | Recommended Capacity |
|---|---|
| Size 1 | Up to 3.5g |
| Size 4 | Up to 14g |
| Size 8 | Up to 28g |
| Size 67 | Up to 450g |
| Size 320 | Up to approx. 2.3kg |
Using a larger pack than required will not increase the RH beyond the pack's designed level. Additional capacity can instead help the humidity control work more efficiently and potentially extend service life.
Simple to Use
Using Boveda requires virtually no maintenance.
- Remove any clear outer packaging if present.
- Do not cut or open the actual Boveda Humidipak.
- Place the intact pack inside your airtight storage container.
- Add the material being stored.
- Seal the container.
- Boveda automatically begins regulating humidity.
- Check the pack periodically and replace when it becomes hard.
There is no soaking, filling, activation, or daily maintenance required.
When Should You Replace Boveda?
Boveda gradually becomes firmer as the water contained within the pack is depleted.
A fresh pack will contain soft areas and feel flexible. As it reaches the end of its useful life, it becomes increasingly firm.
Replace the pack when it becomes hard with very few or no soft areas remaining.
Pack lifespan varies according to:
- Container quality
- How frequently the container is opened
- Ambient humidity
- Storage temperature
- Quantity being protected
- Initial moisture level
- Number and size of Boveda packs being used
A well-sealed container generally allows the pack to work more efficiently.
Ideal Storage Containers
Boveda 62% Humidipaks are ideal for use in:
- Glass storage jars
- Airtight containers
- Sealed storage bags
- Stainless steel storage containers
- Botanical storage containers
- Bulk storage vessels
- Suitable commercial packaging
For best performance, use Boveda inside a properly sealed container. Frequent exposure to outside air makes the pack work harder and can reduce its lifespan.
No Activation Required
One of Boveda's major advantages is simplicity.
There is no need to:
- Add water
- Soak the pack
- Spray the pack
- Refrigerate it
- Activate it
- Monitor it daily
- Manually adjust humidity
Simply place the appropriate pack inside the sealed container and allow the two-way humidity control technology to work automatically.
Important Usage Information
For optimum performance:
- Use the correct pack size for the amount being stored.
- Keep the storage container properly sealed.
- Do not puncture or cut the Boveda pack.
- Do not mix different Boveda RH levels inside the same container.
- Do not combine Boveda with other humidification products.
- Replace the pack when it becomes hard.
- Use additional packs for larger quantities when required.
Mixing different RH packs is not recommended because the packs can work against one another instead of efficiently maintaining a single target humidity.

Why You Should Buy Boveda 62% Humidipak
Storage conditions can have a major impact on the texture, aroma, flavour, and overall quality of dried botanical material.
The Boveda 62% Humidipak removes the guesswork from humidity management by automatically responding to changing moisture conditions inside a sealed container.
If conditions become dry, it releases moisture. If conditions become too humid, it absorbs moisture. Once equilibrium is reached, the pack continues working to maintain conditions around its specified 62% RH level.
For growers, collectors, and consumers who want a simple, maintenance-free method of controlling storage humidity, Boveda provides a proven solution without pumps, electronics, water reservoirs, or manual adjustment.
FAQs
What does Boveda 62% do?
Boveda 62% automatically adds or removes moisture to help maintain approximately 62% relative humidity inside an airtight container.
What is the difference between Boveda 58% and 62%?
Both are designed for controlled botanical storage. 62% RH maintains a slightly higher moisture level, while 58% provides a somewhat drier storage environment.
Does Boveda need to be activated?
No. Boveda is completely maintenance-free and requires no activation or added water.
Can Boveda restore dry material?
Yes. The 62% RH formulation can gradually release purified water vapour to help restore moisture to overly dry material.
Can Boveda make the container too humid?
Boveda is a 2-way humidity controller, meaning it both releases and absorbs moisture to regulate conditions around its specified RH rather than continuously adding humidity.
Can I use more than one Boveda pack?
Yes. Multiple packs can be used when required. Using additional packs of the same RH level can improve humidity-control capacity and may help packs last longer.
Can I mix 58% and 62% Boveda packs?
No. Do not mix different RH levels inside the same container because the packs can work against each other.
When should I replace the pack?
Replace Boveda when the pack becomes hard and has very few or no soft areas remaining.
Should I open the actual Humidipak?
No. Remove any external plastic wrapper where applicable, but never cut, tear, or open the Boveda pack itself.
What size Boveda should I use?
Select the size according to the amount being stored. Common options range from Size 1 for up to 3.5g through to Size 320 for bulk storage up to approximately 2.3kg.
