Calyx Pro 5lb - 2 Cases (200 bags)

What It Is

The Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb pouch is a purpose-engineered modified atmosphere curing bag designed for licensed cannabis and hemp cultivators who need repeatable, hands-off post-harvest results at batch scale. The bag is built on a 9-layer MAP film stack — each layer performing a discrete function: outer puncture resistance, UV filtration, reinforced micro-strand tear resistance, an oxygen barrier, the central modified-atmosphere membrane that self-balances CO₂ and O₂, a moisture-control buffer layer, and an anti-static inner surface.

Together, those layers create a passive, self-regulating microclimate inside the pouch. Excess CO₂, VOCs, and moisture permeate out through the film; the terpene-resistant inner barrier captures evaporated volatile compounds and allows them to recondense back into the flower matrix rather than escaping. The result is a stable water activity window — targeted at 0.60–0.65 aW — held throughout the cure without operator intervention. Every Calyx Cure pouch is extruded, printed, and converted in the USA using food-contact-safe materials.

Who It's For

The 5 lb format is sized for commercial and craft-commercial cultivators who cure in multi-pound batches per strain per harvest. At 100 bags per case and 200 bags per order, this SKU is structured for operations that move volume — indoor, greenhouse, or light-dep facilities running regular harvests where post-harvest consistency directly affects sellable yield and shelf life.

It's also the right choice for post-harvest managers standardizing cure protocols across multiple harvest rooms or multiple facilities. The flat-bottom, side-gusset design stands upright for organized room storage and easy batch auditing — a practical advantage when you're tracking water activity and cure duration across dozens of bags simultaneously. If your current process involves daily burping, humidity pack replenishment, or inconsistent batch-to-batch terpene outcomes, the Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb is a direct replacement with measurable performance data behind it.

Key Features

Passive MAP off-gassing: The 9-layer film bleeds CO₂, excess moisture, and VOCs without operator involvement. No burping schedule. No humidity packs. Fill the bag, heat-seal, and the film manages gas exchange for the duration of the cure cycle — typically 2–8 weeks depending on strain and target aW.

Turgor preservation: The moisture-buffer layer keeps water activity in the 0.60–0.65 aW range, preventing the trichome head collapse and monoterpene rush-out that occurs when flower dips below 0.58 aW. Keeping trichomes pressurized and intact protects both aroma quality and structural appearance at point of sale.

UV blocking and anti-static: The UV filtration layer shields cannabinoids and pigment from light degradation, while an anti-static ionizing additive in the film prevents trichome transfer to the bag wall during handling — protecting top-shelf structure through cure, transfer, and packaging.

Dual-track zipper + multi-position heat seal: The double-profile zipper snaps closed with a tactile, one-hand confirmation. An extended header with dual tear-notches supports multiple sequential heat seals — useful for re-purging headspace mid-cure or transitioning to long-term storage without changing bags.

How It Fits a Commercial Build

Replacing turkey bags or single-layer cure pouches with Calyx Cure Pro at the 5 lb scale directly impacts two post-harvest KPIs: weight retention and terpene profile consistency. Third-party testing conducted in partnership with the Cannabis Research Coalition — run in a 60°F / 60% RH environment without active humidification — showed Calyx Cure maintaining a tighter, higher water-activity band than commodity bags, with measurably better weight outcomes and higher retention of key monoterpenes including limonene versus both standard turkey bags and competitive cure pouches.

For a post-harvest workflow, the operational math is straightforward: fewer daily touchpoints per batch (no burping rotation), no consumable humidity pack cost, and a more auditable curing room because each bag stands, labels face-out, and water activity trends predictably. Ordering in the 2-case / 200-bag configuration gives multi-room operations enough volume to standardize across an entire harvest cycle without mid-cycle re-orders.
