Plastic Bags: Why You Should Avoid Them

Problems:

• Static removes trichomes
• Not truly airtight
• Allows terpene evaporation
• Crushes buds

Plastic should only be temporary transport packaging.

Vacuum Sealing: When It Makes Sense

Vacuum sealing can:

• Extend shelf life
• Reduce oxidation
• Protect bulk storage

However:

• Crushing can damage buds
• Not ideal for frequent access

For bulk buyers ordering from Cannabis Hub flower online, vacuum storage can help — but use gently.

Do You Need Humidity Packs?

Yes — for flower.

Ideal humidity: 58–62% RH

Humidity packs:

• Prevent overdrying
• Reduce mold risk
• Maintain terpene profile

They are especially useful for long-term storage of premium strains.

Best Containers for Concentrates

Concentrates should be stored in:

• Silicone containers (short term)
• Glass jars (long term)

Products from the Cannabis Hub concentrates collection benefit from cool storage and minimal air exposure.

Conclusion

Best storage setup:

• Airtight glass jar
• Humidity pack
• Cool, dark environment
