Grove Bags – Opaque Curing Bags

The ultimate dry herb curing climate exists at long last, & it comes in these durable dry herb curing bags by Grove Bags.

Opaque Curing Bags by Grove Bags is the greatest way to actively cure your organic matter without lifting a finger, whilst knowing that it’s always at the correct humidity level.

Opaque Curing bags by Grove Bags are the only curing option of choice for the modern gardener  because it allows the product to retain the quality it was initially produced with and enables the quality to be constant from cultivation to consumption. Terpenes are a pivotal aspect of the end product’s quality. Grove Bags minimises terpene loss in your organic material by combining humidity control with out-gassing & anti-static film layers to maintain the perfect environment for your goods. Humidity control is a crucial aspect of weight retention, as moisture content is directly linked to the product’s final weight, so any improperly stored material will impact the bottom-line revenue.

Grove Bags are constructed using proprietary TerpLoc™ Technology, merging six distinct film barrier layers to guarantee active humidity control and protection of your organic material. Grove Bags have been designed so that moisture is constantly flowing in and out of the bags, keeping everything at the optimum level. This will keep your organic matter fresher for longer and also permits the manufacturer to package up the product sooner than competing brands. TerpLoc™ is the first of its kind, a genuinely passive atmospheric packaging solution that perfectly cures your dry herb, food & nuts. Every single gram of product matters when looking at margins; preservation and storage are integral to protecting your bottom line. Moreover, in contrast to other curing and & storage packaging agents, Terploc has been designed around the unique properties of terpene-rich dry herbs to create the most effective packaging possible. Moreover, Terploc succeeds in slowing down terpene degradation to a rate never seen before; this extends both the shelf life of your product and maximises the resulting margins. Incredibly, Grove Bags’ unbeatable active humidity control also combines with antimicrobial properties to create a super-effective packaging solution that implements low oxygen levels to form the ideal curing climate.

The Terploc™ technology underpinning Grove Bags comprises six unique high-barrier films with fundamental permeability properties explicitly designed for dry herbs but are equally suited for food & nuts. All unwanted gasses & water vapour are actively diffused through the film barriers forming a mould-free environment to cure and retain the quality of your material.
These film barriers all target a different issue that can affect the quality of your end product. This multi-tiered approach guarantees your herb is always receiving maximum protection. The first layer is the durability layer, which protects your dry herb material with a thick puncture-resistant layer which helps ensure the carefully controlled climate is safe during transit/ delivery. The next film barrier provides serious odour protection enabling you to trap the smell until you’re ready to enjoy it. Next up is the oxygen film layer, designed to ensure that it can create and sustain low oxygen levels and limit the oxidation of terpenes. The oxygen layer protects against weight loss and maintains your product’s efficiency. The following layer uses anti-static, a welcome addition as many plastics create static which can strip dry herbs of essential properties; this layer ensures terpenes stay in your herb rather than on the packaging. Next up is the humidity barrier, which works with the oxygen layer to maintain active humidity control. Low oxygen levels slow the respiration process, so excess water vapour built up inside the headspace of the Grove Bag is diffused through the packaging to prevent mould from developing. Finally, the Terploc™ UV film layer, combined with opaque packaging, provides excellent protection from harmful UV rays; UV breaks down organic material rapidly, which means that the compounds within the material are degraded, lessened and weakened.

TerpLoc™ creates the optimal microclimate for storing fruits, nuts & herbs by regulating the relative humidity in the packaging while protecting your product from exterior elements that would degrade its quality. In addition, TerpLoc™ is designed to provide peace of mind.

For curing dry herbs, Grove Bag Generally recommends drying the material for 10-14 days, depending on the structure of your herbs, fruits or nuts & the relative humidity should be between 10-12% ideally. When filling the bags with material, Grove Bags recommends leaving the bag a minimum of 25% empty, with this headspace permitting the bag to work correctly. Once the bag is closed, the technology will work to ensure your internal environment is between 58-62% Relative Humidity. The bag should be placed in a well-ventilated and cool area below 21 degrees Celsius. The hotter the environment, the moisture related weight loss.
Grove Bags are also sealable in the temperature range of 230F-285F using an impulse sealer, hair straightener or household iron.

Grove Bags are as committed to sustainability as they are to perfecting herb-curing climates and creating the best active humidity control possibilities. This commitment means they produce zero waste in the manufacturing process and use only soy & vegan inks to produce them in the US. These practices help to ensure they have a neutral carbon footprint and maximise the sustainability recognised by the end consumer.
