Calyx Pro 5lb - 50 Cases (5,000 bags)

9-layer MAP film. Self-regulating microclimate. No burping, no packs — at commercial scale.

Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb is a flat-bottom, side-gusset modified atmosphere pouch engineered for licensed cannabis operators who need a passive, labor-free cure at production volume. This 50-case (5,000-bag) configuration is built for facilities running multi-pound batches per harvest and eliminates the daily burping and humidity packs that add labor cost and introduce variability to post-harvest SOPs.

What Calyx Cure Pro Is

Calyx Cure Pro is a purpose-built cannabis curing pouch built on a proprietary 9-layer modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) film. The film passively off-gasses CO₂, excess moisture, and VOCs from inside the sealed bag while its terpene-resistant barrier layer captures evaporated terpene compounds, allowing them to recondense and reabsorb into the flower matrix rather than escaping. The result is a self-regulating internal microclimate that holds stable water activity without active inputs — no burping schedule, no humidity packs, no additional airflow systems required.

The flat-bottom, expanded side-gusset construction stands upright, maximizes surface area for even gas exchange, and eliminates the moisture pockets that collect in standard stand-up pouches with pressed corners. Every pouch is extruded, printed, and converted in the USA from food-contact-safe materials, and the film provides verified UV-A and UV-B blocking (>95%, 190–900 nm range) to protect trichomes from light-induced degradation during the cure window.

Who It's Built For

This 50-case configuration is sized for licensed cannabis and hemp cultivation facilities running multi-pound batch cures per harvest cycle — indoor, greenhouse, or mixed-light operators where post-harvest throughput and labor efficiency are real cost lines. At 100 bags per case and 5,000 bags total, this SKU brings per-unit cost down to a volume appropriate for facilities moving hundreds of pounds per run.

If your current post-harvest SOP involves daily or twice-daily burping of turkey bags, jar rotation, or supplemental humidity packs, Calyx Cure Pro replaces that labor touchpoint entirely. Quality control managers and post-harvest leads can standardize the cure across every bag without relying on technician discretion — the film does the atmospheric management. Craft-positioned operations and multi-facility groups running consistent SKUs will also find value in the batch-to-batch repeatability the passive microclimate provides.

Key Features & Film Technology

The 9-layer MAP film is the core of the product. Each layer serves a distinct function: modified atmosphere control, moisture buffering, terpene retention, UV blocking, oxygen management, anti-static charge bleed, odor lockout, puncture resistance, and structural integrity. The anti-static layer is particularly relevant at scale — static charge is responsible for trichome transfer from bud to bag surface, degrading bag appeal and sellable quality. The UV-blocking layer shields terpenes and cannabinoids from photodegradation throughout the cure and storage window.

The dual-track zipper delivers a firm tactile snap closure between openings. A multi-position heat seal allows the operator to reset a hermetic seal after inspection or partial retrieval — close the zipper for daily access, apply a fresh heat seal for long-term storage. The independent 8-week CRC study showed that Calyx Cure maintained tighter water activity bands and retained significantly more key monoterpenes (including limonene) than turkey bags and competitive cure pouches. Third-party data from the Cannabis Research Coalition found Calyx Cure retained an average of 630 more grams of weight and 14% more terpenes per 100-pound batch versus turkey bags.

How to Integrate Into Your Post-Harvest Build

Target entry water activity of approximately 0.60 aw (roughly 10–12% moisture content) before bagging — the film is engineered to hold and buffer within that range, not compensate for a wet load. Fill each 5 lb pouch to 75–90% capacity to allow adequate headspace for internal gas exchange. Close the dual-track zipper, then apply a heat seal at the top tear notch to initiate the closed microclimate. Store sealed pouches in a cool, dark environment at 60–65°F and 55–60% RH. Calyx Cure's passive system handles CO₂ venting and moisture balance for a 2–8 week cure window with no further intervention required.

After cure, the second tear notch allows the operator to re-open cleanly, inspect, pull product, and re-seal with a standard countertop heat sealer. The bag can move directly into cold storage or distribution staging still sealed, protecting terpene and weight integrity through the distribution window — a relevant consideration as state markets expand distribution timelines. At the 50-case volume, this SKU ships to licensed operators across all U.S. states through HSC's supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What water activity should flower be at before loading Calyx Cure Pro 5 lb bags?

Target approximately 0.60 aw — roughly 10–12% moisture content. The 9-layer MAP film is engineered to buffer and hold within that range. Loading flower that is too wet (above ~0.65 aw) exceeds what the passive system is designed to manage and increases mold risk regardless of bag type.

Do I still need to burp or use humidity packs?

No. The MAP film passively off-gasses CO₂, excess moisture, and VOCs continuously once the bag is heat-sealed. There is no burping schedule and no humidity pack required. The internal microclimate self-regulates throughout the 2–8 week cure window.

Can I re-seal the bag after opening for inspection or partial retrieval?

Yes. Each pouch includes a second tear notch so you can re-open, inspect or pull product, then apply a fresh heat seal with a standard countertop heat sealer. The dual-track zipper maintains the microclimate for short-term access; re-heat sealing is recommended for extended storage after opening.

What does the third-party CRC study show?

The Cannabis Research Coalition conducted an independent 8-week curing study comparing Calyx Cure against turkey bags and other commodity cure bags. Results showed Calyx Cure retained an average of 630 more grams of weight and 14% more terpenes per 100-pound batch. The study also found stronger trichome preservation, more consistent water activity, and better cannabinoid potency protection.
