9-layer MAP film. Passive microclimate control. Zero burping. 2,500-bag commercial pallet.
The Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb is a flat-bottom, side-gusset curing pouch built on a proprietary 9-layer modified atmosphere film that passively off-gasses CO₂, excess moisture, and VOCs — maintaining a stable internal microclimate through the full cure without burping or humidity packs. This SKU ships as 25 cases / 2,500 bags (100 bags per case), sized for mid-to-large commercial curing operations.
The Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb is a purpose-engineered cannabis curing pouch from Calyx Containers, designed to replace the turkey-bag-and-jar workflow at commercial scale. The core technology is a proprietary 9-layer modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) film that functions as a passive gas-exchange membrane: it vents excess CO₂, off-gasses surplus moisture and VOCs, blocks oxygen, bleeds static charge, and contains a dedicated terpene-barrier layer that captures evaporated volatile compounds and allows them to recondense back into the flower matrix.
The flat-bottom, side-gusset construction stands upright, maximizes internal surface area for even airflow, and eliminates the moisture-pocket problem common in round-corner stand-up pouches. Every pouch is extruded, printed, and converted in the USA using food-contact-safe materials. This 25-case pallet format — 100 bags per case, 2,500 bags total — is the correct procurement unit for facilities running regular 5 lb cure batches and wanting a consistent, documented post-harvest protocol.
The 5 lb / 25-case format targets licensed cannabis and hemp cultivation operations that are curing meaningful volume each harvest cycle: multi-light indoor facilities, greenhouse operators pushing several pounds per room turn, and multi-site MSO groups that need a standardized curing container across facilities. If your post-harvest team is manually burping bags or chasing RH with humidity packs across dozens of containers, this SKU is the direct operational fix.
Operators who have already trialed the 1 lb Calyx Cure for premium SKUs and want to scale the same microclimate protocol to their mid-tier and bulk lines will find the 5 lb format works identically — same film, same closure system, larger vessel. Quality control managers benefit from the consistency: every bag runs the same passive curing chemistry, removing the technician-to-technician variability that makes turkey-bag cures unreliable across a shift.
The 9-layer MAP film is the functional core. It maintains stable water activity in the 0.55–0.65 aw range, which keeps trichome cell walls pressurized and intact — preventing the micro-cracking that accelerates monoterpene off-gassing. The turgor-preservation layer specifically resists the cellular wall collapse that causes weight loss during cure, directly protecting yield value. An anti-static layer prevents trichome adhesion to the bag wall, protecting bag appeal and potency.
The closure system pairs a dual-track zipper — audible tactile snap, one-hand operation — with a multi-position heat-seal and a secondary tear notch for re-sealing after the first break. For commercial operations, the recommended protocol is: dry to approximately 0.60 aw (≈10–12% moisture content), fill the pouch to 75–80% capacity, close the dual-track zipper, add a heat seal at the top notch, then store at 60–65°F / 55–60% RH for 2–8 weeks. No further intervention required. UV-blocking film construction protects cannabinoid and terpene integrity during storage under ambient lighting conditions.
Third-party testing by the Cannabis Research Coalition in an 8-week study comparing Calyx Cure against Grove Bags and turkey bags documented measurable advantages across weight retention, terpene preservation, water activity stability, and trichome integrity. That data is available directly from Calyx Containers.
At 2,500 bags per pallet, the 5 lb / 25-case SKU is a supply-chain commitment, not a trial order. Operators running a structured harvest cadence — pulling rooms on a set cycle, weighing out into standardized batch containers, and tracking lot data — use this format to maintain consistent pack-out without reordering pressure mid-harvest. The 100-bags-per-case count makes it straightforward to allocate by room or lot.
From an ROI standpoint, the relevant comparison is not bag cost vs. bag cost — it is retained flower weight and terpene profile at the point of transfer or sale. Every percentage point of moisture and terpene loss during a turkey-bag cure is revenue that does not recover. The Calyx Cure Pro's passive microclimate control is the mechanism that narrows that loss. For operations where price-per-gram is tied to aroma and bag appeal, the film's terpene-retention layer is operationally significant.

Calyx specifies approximately 0.60 aw — roughly 10–12% moisture content. The flower should be dried to the point where exterior surfaces are dry to the touch and small stems snap rather than bend. The bag's MAP film is designed to stabilize and fine-tune water activity during the cure; it is not a drying tool and cannot compensate for flower that is significantly over or under dried at fill.
No. The 9-layer modified atmosphere film passively manages CO₂ off-gassing, moisture, and VOC exchange without any manual intervention. Fill to 75–80% capacity, close the dual-track zipper, add a heat seal, and store in a stable environment. The recommended cure window is 2–8 weeks with no burping or supplemental humidity control required.
Yes. The pouch includes a secondary tear notch that allows the bag to be re-sealed with a standard impulse heat sealer after the first seal is cut. The dual-track zipper provides day-to-day access between heat seals. For long-term storage after opening, Calyx recommends re-purging the headspace and applying a new heat seal; for short-term access, the zipper alone maintains the modified atmosphere.
This SKU (5lb-25) ships as 25 cases, each containing 100 bags, for a total of 2,500 bags. This is the standard commercial procurement format for the 5 lb size through HSC.
Yes. Calyx Containers partnered with the Cannabis Research Coalition (CRC) for an 8-week controlled curing study comparing Calyx Cure against Grove Bags and turkey bags, measuring weight retention, terpene levels, water activity, cannabinoid content, chlorophyll, and trichome preservation.
