Calyx Pro 5lb - 100 Cases (10,000 bags)

What It Is

The Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb is a proprietary 9-layer modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) pouch purpose-built for cannabis and hemp flower curing. Each layer performs a distinct mechanical role: an outer abrasion-resistant shell, a UV-filtration layer that blocks harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation, reinforced micro-strand puncture resistance, a high-density oxygen barrier that slows O₂ ingress, a modified-atmosphere membrane that self-balances CO₂ and O₂, a moisture-control layer that holds humidity in a stable range without packs, a terpene-lock barrier that prevents aromatic oils from escaping, an anti-static discharge layer that keeps trichomes on the flower rather than stuck to the film, and a food-safe, non-leaching contact layer.

The net result is a self-regulating microclimate inside the sealed pouch. Excess CO₂, moisture, and VOCs vent out through the membrane; the terpene-barrier layer captures evaporated terpene molecules and allows them to recondense back into the flower matrix. The bag does the environmental management — the operator does not.

Who It's For

This SKU — 100 cases, 10,000 bags — is structured for licensed commercial cultivators and processors running multi-pound harvests on a recurring basis: indoor and greenhouse facilities that harvest by room or zone, multi-site operators standardizing a single post-harvest SOP across locations, and processors who receive bulk flower and need a consistent cure and short-term hold format before packaging.

At 5 lb per bag, this size fills the gap between the 1 lb bag used for final QC and sample batches and the 10 lb bag suited for macro-bulk holds. It's the practical unit for room-by-room harvest logging — each bag is a discrete, trackable lot. The dual-track zipper and multi-position heat seal mean the bag can be re-accessed, re-purged, and resealed multiple times without losing atmosphere integrity, which matters for facilities that stage cure over several weeks and spot-check water activity mid-cycle.

Key Features & Third-Party Performance Data

Calyx partnered with the Cannabis Research Coalition (CRC) for independent third-party testing. A CRC study conducted in a 60°F / 60% RH environment without active humidification found that Calyx Cure retained an average of 630 more grams of weight and 14% more terpenes per 100-pound batch compared to turkey bags and other common curing formats. The study also showed stronger trichome protection, more consistent water activity, tighter vapor control, and better cannabinoid potency preservation.

Functional features operators rely on: UV-screening layer blocks the wavelengths that degrade cannabinoids and bleach color; anti-static layer prevents trichome transfer to the film; the flat-bottom, expanded side-gusset design eliminates the moisture pockets common in standard stand-up pouches by maximizing internal surface area and promoting even airflow around the contents. The dual-track zipper delivers a firm tactile snap; the multi-position heat-seal design includes a second tear notch so the bag can be resealed and re-heat-sealed after access without losing closure integrity.

How to Use & How It Fits a Commercial Build

Protocol is straightforward: dry flower to approximately 10–12% moisture content (roughly 0.55–0.65 aw), load the pouch 70–80% full to maintain optimal headspace for microclimate formation, close the dual-track zipper, add a heat seal at the top tear notch, and store in a cool dark environment at 60–65°F and 55–60% RH. Cure window is 2–8 weeks. Progress can be checked through the UV-blocking transparent window panels without breaking the seal.

For operations running weekly or bi-weekly harvests, the 5 lb format aligns naturally with per-strain or per-room batch tracking — each sealed bag is an isolated lot. The 10,000-bag case pack supports a high-volume throughput cadence without requiring frequent reorders. Because the bag handles atmosphere management passively, post-harvest labor is reduced: no daily burping schedule, no humidity pack restocking, no manual RH checks for each individual lot. Fewer touchpoints per batch means more consistent outcomes and lower handling cost per pound cured.
