Boveda specializes in creating precise humidity control packs that maintain cannabis at the ideal moisture levels of 58% or 62% relative humidity. Their signature product, the Original Terpene Shield™, creates a monolayer of purified water that protects cannabis trichomes from damage and prevents terpene evaporation, preserving the flavor, aroma, and potency that consumers seek.Available in various sizes to accommodate everything from small one-gram containers to large bulk storage, Boveda's humidity packs work automatically using their patented two-way humidity control. Unlike one-way humidifiers that can cause mold or desiccants that dry out flower completely, Boveda packs both add AND remove moisture as needed, maintaining perfect conditions.Made with all-natural food-grade ingredients (purified water and salts), Boveda packs are completely safe in direct contact with cannabis. Each pack provides 2-6 months of protection, ensuring consumers experience the full effect of their flower every time they open their container, from the first use to the last.
Boveda began in 1997 in Minnetonka, Minnesota, founded by a team that included Sean Knutsen and Tim Swail, alongside formulation chemist Albert Saari and packaging expert Robert Esse from General Mills. Originally named Humidipak, the company was born from a simple problem: how to maintain perfect humidity in small cigar humidors. The founders' breakthrough came with their patented two-way humidity control technology, something no one had successfully achieved before.For their first decade, Boveda (rebranded from Humidipak in 2012) focused primarily on the cigar industry, slowly building a reputation for excellence in humidity control. In 2007, the cannabis industry discovered Boveda's perfect solution for preserving flower quality and freshness. Since then, Boveda has experienced explosive growth, becoming the gold standard in cannabis storage. Today, Boveda is globally recognized as the creator of the Original Terpene Shield™, revolutionizing how cannabis is stored, shipped, and enjoyed by consumers everywhere.
Boveda's mission is simple yet profound: to protect the quality, consistency, and full experience of cannabis through perfect humidity control. They strive to preserve the essential characteristics that make each strain unique – its terpene profile, cannabinoid potency, and sensory qualities.At their core, Boveda believes that consumers deserve to experience cannabis exactly as intended by the grower, without the degradation that comes from improper storage. They're dedicated to using science-based solutions to address the industry-wide problem of terpene loss, which can diminish effectiveness and enjoyment.Boveda is committed to education, helping consumers understand that up to 40% of cannabis terpenes are lost within the first week without proper humidity control. By creating products that solve this problem, they're ensuring that medicinal and recreational users alike get the full benefit and value from their cannabis purchases.
