Humidity Indicator Cards: Saviors Barrier Packaging

Humidity and moisture are invisible yet caustic elements that can cause quick worsening of products in contact. To shun their destructive effects, companies generally rely on packaging experts who can provide them with the required moisture barriers to protect their goods. Although moisture barrier bags or vapor barrier bags one shortcoming and i.e. it is often difficult to moderate the actual levels of humidity within. But there exists a solution for this problem and that is humidity indicator card. Indicating cards are confirm the presence of moisture and hence can make the packaging process a success. These little cards are positioned inside the moisture barrier bag and can be checked time to time at regular intervals during the process of storage. These cards can also be checked at the time of the arrival of shipment and damage can be predicted.  These cards work on an easy color-coded system; they point out dampness levels, and hence show the successful working levels of the desiccants and barrier bags. These cards provide low cost solution for indicating humidity conditions inside a vacuum packaged barrier bag.

Air Drying Desiccant to Absorb Moisture Efficiently!

Desiccants are said as those substances which have the ability to absorb moisture and odor. Having excellent absorption capacity it has the capacity to maintain the originality of the product by preventing any microbial activities. Although moisture is present everywhere, but its presence at unnecessary places can prove to be quite disastrous. Most of the desiccants are available in granular or powdered form. The reason that these desiccants are in this form is that in this way it gets more surface area for absorption. This form allows the desiccant to absorb more moisture content from the atmosphere. However these desiccants cannot be used loosely, so they are used in packets. Now the size of the packets depends on the requirement. You must have seen small packets of moisture absorbing desiccant in leather jackets, plastic containers. While at the same time huge bags of desiccants are also used while transportation that is cargo in a ship.
