Passive modified-atmosphere curing at commercial scale — 5,000 bags, no burping, no humidity packs.
The Calyx Cure Pro 1lb is a flat-bottom, side-gusset pouch built on a proprietary 9-layer modified atmosphere film that passively off-gases CO₂, excess moisture, and VOCs — holding a stable internal microclimate through the full cure without burping or humidity packs. This listing supplies 50 cases (5,000 bags, 100 bags/case) for licensed cannabis and hemp operators running high-throughput post-harvest programs.
The Calyx Cure Pro is a purpose-engineered cannabis curing pouch, not a repurposed food or retail bag. Its flat-bottom, side-gusset construction stands upright on cure-room shelves, maximizes internal surface area, and eliminates the moisture pockets that form at the pressed corners of standard stand-up pouches. The core technology is a 9-layer Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) film that performs three distinct functions simultaneously: it vents excess CO₂, bleeds residual moisture, and releases VOCs — while a dedicated barrier layer traps and recondenses evaporated terpenes back into the flower matrix. The result is a self-regulating microclimate that holds water activity in the 0.58–0.65 aₓ range without any operator intervention.
Every Calyx Cure pouch is extruded, printed, and converted in the USA using food-contact-safe materials. Manufacturing tolerances are controlled at the micron level, which is why the film's gas-permeation behavior is consistent batch to batch — critical when you're running hundreds of pounds per harvest and need repeatable cure outcomes across every bag.
The 50-case (5,000-bag) configuration is sized for commercial cultivators — licensed cannabis operations, vertically integrated MSOs, and hemp flower producers — who are curing volume measured in hundreds of pounds per cycle. At 1lb capacity per pouch, a single case of 100 bags handles up to 100 lbs of finished flower. A full 50-case order supports up to 5,000 lbs of cure throughput before restocking.
The 1lb format specifically serves operations that sort flower by strain, run SKU-level traceability, or maintain distinct cure batches per cultivar. It's the right size for premium or small-batch cuts where per-bag accountability matters — and where terpene profile and bag appeal at retail are part of the product's value proposition. Bulk ordering at the 50-case level reduces per-bag cost and ensures consistent supply across a full harvest season without reordering mid-cycle.
The 9-layer MAP film does work that active curing systems (environmental controllers, humidity packs, burping schedules) attempt through external inputs — but passively, from inside the sealed bag. The film's turgor-preservation layer prevents the cellular wall collapse that causes weight loss during cure; the terpene-retention barrier stops monoterpenes from volatilizing out of the headspace. Calyx's data — from an 8-week third-party study run by the Cannabis Research Coalition using the 'Peaches & Cream' cultivar at 60°F / 60% RH — showed Calyx Cure outperforming comparable products on weight retention, terpene preservation, and cannabinoid conversion metrics.
Additional functional layers provide UV shielding (blocking light-driven cannabinoid degradation), anti-static protection (preventing trichome transfer to bag walls), puncture resistance, and odor containment. The dual-track zipper delivers a firm tactile snap for daily-access reseal. A multi-position heat-seal zone with a tear notch allows operators to break and re-establish a heat seal without losing zipper functionality — important in operations where bags are sampled mid-cure and then resealed for continued curing.
Calyx's protocol is straightforward: dry flower to approximately 10–12% moisture content (roughly 0.55–0.65 aₓ) before bagging. Fill each 1lb pouch to 75–90% capacity — enough flower to minimize dead headspace, while leaving room for the microclimate to form and gas exchange to occur. Close the dual-track zipper, then apply a heat seal at the top tear notch to lock in the modified atmosphere. Store bagged flower in a stable environment of 60–65°F and 55–60% RH. The film takes over from there for a 2–8 week passive cure window with no burping, no pack replacement, and no daily monitoring.
For operations using traceability software, the upright flat-bottom form factor makes label placement and scanning consistent across shelf rows. For large harvests, the 100-bags-per-case pack-out integrates cleanly into standard pallet and shelving configurations.

Calyx's protocol targets approximately 0.55–0.65 aₓ (roughly 10–12% moisture content) at the time of bagging. Bagging too wet risks anaerobic conditions; bagging too dry limits the film's ability to buffer moisture back into the flower. The 0.60 aₓ midpoint is the stated sweet spot for optimal enzymatic activity and terpene preservation through the cure cycle.
No. The 9-layer MAP film passively manages CO₂ off-gassing, excess moisture release, and VOC venting without any external inputs. Humidity packs and daily burping are not part of the Calyx Cure protocol — that's the core value of the modified atmosphere film technology.
Yes. The bag includes a dual-track zipper for reseal and a multi-position heat-seal zone with a second tear notch. After breaking the original heat seal for a mid-cure sample pull, you can re-purge the headspace and apply a new heat seal, then rely on the zipper for routine access. For long-term continued storage, re-heat-sealing is recommended over zipper-only closure.
This listing is sold as 50 cases, 100 bags per case, for a total of 5,000 individual 1lb curing pouches. At 1lb per bag, the full order supports up to 5,000 lbs of cure throughput. Cases are the standard unit for warehouse and shelf management. Contact HSC if you need to discuss different case quantities or pallet-level ordering.
Yes. Calyx partnered with the Cannabis Research Coalition (CRC) to conduct an independent 8-week curing study comparing Calyx Cure against other common curing methods. The study measured weight retention, terpene preservation, cannabinoid conversion, moisture stability, chlorophyll levels, and trichome integrity. Results and the full research data set are available directly from Calyx Containers.
