Wisesorb30 Pack 62% RH 8 Gram Two-Way Humidity Control Packs for Storing 1 oz, Size 8 Moisture Control Packets Individually Wrapped

Q: What is the typical lifespan of each packet after it is opened and used?

The typical lifespan of an 8-gram humidity control packet after it is opened and used depends on several factors, including the humidity level it is designed to maintain, the container size, the ambient conditions, and how often the container is opened. For Wisesorb humidity control packets, they are designed to last around 2 to 4 months in a properly sealed container. After that period, the packet will become hard and crunchy, indicating that it has exhausted its moisture-holding capacity and needs to be replaced. However, if the container is frequently opened and closed, the lifespan of the packet may be shorter because it will work to restore humidity every time the container is opened. Additionally, in extremely dry conditions or if the container is not well-sealed, the packet might need to be replaced more frequently. It's important to monitor the condition of the packet and the humidity level inside your container regularly. When the packet becomes rigid and brittle, it's time to replace it with a fresh one to ensure proper humidity control.
