Passive MAP curing at scale — 1,000 bags, no burping, no humidity packs.
The Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb is a 9-layer modified atmosphere pouch engineered for mid-to-large commercial harvests — passive CO₂, moisture, and VOC off-gassing holds a self-regulating microclimate through the full cure cycle without manual intervention. This 10-case order (1,000 bags, 100 per case) is sized for operations that run continuous cure rooms and need consistent throughput.
Calyx Cure Pro is a purpose-built cannabis curing pouch, not a repurposed food or mylar bag. The film is a proprietary 9-layer modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) stack that performs a specific set of passive gas exchange functions: it off-gasses excess CO₂, residual moisture, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while a dedicated terpene-resistant barrier layer captures evaporated terpenes and allows them to recondense back into the flower matrix — rather than escaping the bag entirely.
The flat-bottom, expanded side-gusset construction is deliberate. It maximizes internal surface area for even airflow around the flower mass, eliminating the moisture pockets common in conventional stand-up pouches with pressed corners. The result is a self-regulating internal environment that maintains stable water activity through the cure cycle — no burping schedule, no Boveda or humidity packs, no daily touch points.
Each of the nine layers in the Calyx Cure film performs a distinct role. The outer layer handles physical protection — scuff and pinhole resistance for warehouse handling. Layer 8 is a UV barrier that blocks over 95% of UV-A and UV-B radiation, protecting cannabinoids from photo-degradation during storage. A high-density oxygen barrier layer slows O₂ ingress between opens, while reinforced micro-strands in the puncture-resistance layer disperse impact force rather than concentrating it at a single point.
The film also incorporates an anti-static ionizing additive throughout, which bleeds off static charge that would otherwise cause trichome heads to detach from the flower surface and stick to bag walls — a common and costly quality issue in dry trim environments. The transparent side-gusset panels allow visual inspection of cure progress without breaking the seal. This combination of UV block, anti-static performance, odor containment, and gas permeability is specific to cured cannabis; it's why the Calyx Cure outperformed Grove Bags and standard turkey bags across every metric in independent testing by the Cannabis Research Coalition.
Every Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb pouch ships with a dual-track, double-profile zipper that delivers a firm tactile snap on close — it seals with one hand and stays sealed. Above the zipper is an extended header with dual tear-notches that supports multiple heat seals across the same bag without compromising the pouch body or the zipper below.
Workflow is straightforward: bring flower down to approximately 0.55–0.65 water activity (roughly 10–12% moisture content) before bagging. Fill to 75–80% capacity — enough headspace for the microclimate to form without over-compressing the canopy. Close the dual-track zipper, then heat-seal at the first tear notch. Store at 60–65°F and 55–60% RH and cure for 2–8 weeks depending on target aw and strain. The pouch manages the internal environment passively for the duration. For long-term hold after initial cure, reseal the remaining headspace and apply a second heat seal at the lower notch.
At 100 bags per case and 10 cases per order (1,000 bags total), this SKU is sized for operations running weekly or bi-weekly harvest rotations across multiple rooms. A 5 lb bag handles a standard mid-harvest pull from a single light or a portion of a table without requiring operators to split or consolidate flower awkwardly — it's a practical batch size that keeps strain lots cleanly separated through the cure.
Calyx Cure is USA manufactured and CRC-tested. Independent data backs the weight retention and terpene preservation claims — not marketing copy. For operations where cured flower weight is a direct revenue variable, the ROI case on a bag that actively retains moisture and terpene mass versus a passive turkey bag or commodity mylar is measurable against your actual per-gram out-price. This order quantity supports consistent availability across a full cure cycle without reordering gaps that force a fallback to inferior packaging mid-harvest.

No. The 9-layer MAP film passively off-gasses CO₂, excess moisture, and VOCs while maintaining a stable internal microclimate. Once heat-sealed at the correct fill water activity (0.55–0.65 aw), the bag manages the environment for the full 2–8 week cure without manual intervention.
Calyx recommends drying to approximately 0.55–0.65 water activity, which corresponds to roughly 10–12% moisture content, before loading. The bag is designed to continue and stabilize the cure from that point — it cannot compensate for flower that is loaded wet.
Yes. The extended header includes dual tear-notches to support multiple heat seals. After breaking the first seal, you can re-purge the headspace, apply a new heat seal at the lower notch, and use the dual-track zipper for short-term daily access. For long-term hold, Calyx recommends relying on the heat seal rather than the zipper alone.
The 10-case (1,000-bag) format is the SKU stocked for commercial operations running consistent harvest rotations. It eliminates per-order reorder gaps mid-cure cycle. Contact HSC to discuss smaller quantities or case-break options based on your harvest cadence.
Independent testing by the Cannabis Research Coalition in an 8-week comparative study found Calyx Cure outperformed Grove Bags and turkey bags on weight retention, terpene preservation (including limonene), and cannabinoid conversion. Turkey bags in particular show rapid moisture loss within the first 30 days without active atmosphere control.
