Every carton needs a pack, so choose one that fits the budget

Garment, shoe and furniture factories often pack thousands of cartons in one run, and every carton needs a desiccant pack. Put an expensive one in all of them and your packaging cost climbs noticeably. Skip it, and shoes, leather, fabric and wood can go moldy right in the warehouse. For dry food, the buyer also asks whether the pack inside the carton is safe.

Clay is a natural clay (bentonite) in 2 to 4mm granules that absorbs about 30 to 35% of its weight at 90% humidity. A pack works steadily across a wide temperature range, from 0 to 50°C and best at 20 to 40°C. The pouch keeps the granules inside so no fibers shed, and the clay does not corrode your goods. Two things to know first: clay absorbs more slowly than silica gel, and once saturated it must be replaced, though for stored cargo or fairly short routes both are usually acceptable.

How to read the clay specs before you choose a pack

Composition
Activated bentonite, 95% or higher; the 30g Kraft pack lists montmorillonite at 90% or higher
Moisture absorption
30 to 35% of its weight, measured at 25°C and 90% humidity
Granule size
2 to 4mm
Working temperature
Effective from about 20 to 50°C and best at 20 to 40°C; some sizes list use down to 0°C
Pack weights
5g, 10g, 25g, 30g, 50g, 100g, 500g, a set of 2 bags of 500g, a set of 4 bags totaling 1,000g
Packaging
OPP film, non-woven fabric, Tyvek, Kraft paper; some sizes can carry your logo
Typical pack dimensions

Reuse
No, replace with a new pack once saturated
Shelf life and storage
24 months while sealed (the 4-bag 1,000g set lists 18 months), kept below 30°C and below 60% humidity

How to read the specs and choose well

01

How much water 30 to 35% is

A 500g pack absorbs about 150 to 175g of water and a 50g pack about 15 to 17.5g. Compared with a 500g silica gel pack (about 175 to 200g), clay takes roughly 25g less per pack. In return the clay pack costs less, so add packs when you need the extra capacity.

02

Temperature and trip length

Clay works best at 20 to 40°C, which suits routes to Japan, Korea and ASEAN, where the weather is hot and humid. The product page says the 500g pack suits trips of up to 25 days and suggests 4 to 6 packs for a 20ft, about 600 to 1,050g of water. For trips longer than 25 days, switch to silica gel, and ask us about the powder for very moisture-sensitive cargo.

03

Choosing packaging and size for your cargo

The 5g and 10g packs suit small boxes, and the 500g pack with a hook or string suits containers. Packaging comes in four types, OPP, non-woven fabric, Tyvek and Kraft, so if your cargo has its own packaging requirements, tell us first and our staff will pick the right one.

These figures are reference values under test conditions, and our staff will confirm the size and number of packs against your actual cargo and trip.

Frequently asked questions

Clay absorbs more slowly, while silica gel absorbs faster. Once clay is saturated you throw it away and fit a new pack, because it cannot be reused. In return, clay is a natural clay that works steadily across a wide temperature range and costs less than silica gel. If your cargo has to dry fast, silica gel fits better. Tell us the cargo and our staff will compare the two for you.
