Integra Boost 8g 72% Humidity Packs Suit Dry Climates
The gap between 69% and 72% looks like nothing and behaves like something. Integra splits them by climate rather than by product: 69% for wetter rooms, 72% for dry ones. Air that is already dry pulls moisture through a seal faster. The higher setpoint is there to keep up, not to make anything wetter. This is the 8 g size at 72% RH, covering up to 28 g of contents, which is the ounce jar. The fill is the ordinary Integra blend, plant-based glycerin and water with no salt in it. Integra also lists this tier for humidor seasoning and for stepping humidity down during a cure.
8g Humidity Packs for Humidors, and Why 72% Rather Than 69%
Seasoning a humidor is the clearest use, so it is worth walking through. A new cedar box arrives dry and will pull moisture out of anything put inside it. You close a pack in the empty humidor and leave it alone for a week or two. The wood takes what it needs and the reading settles. Only then do cigars go in. The case ships 500 packets loose, with no overwrap and no indicator cards, inside a double-overwrapped master carton. That configuration is built for volume rather than for a shelf, and the saving is real. The cost is that a bare packet gives no reading, so seasoning runs on a calendar and a hygrometer rather than on a color change.
Key Features
- 72% RH Two-Way Control: Holds the dry-climate setting rather than only adding or only removing water.
- Dry-Climate Tier: Integra separates 69% and 72% by ambient climate, not by what is being stored.
- Covers Up To 28 g Per Packet: Sized to ounce containers, so headspace and pack weight stay matched.
- 500 Packets Per Master Case: Volume for a packaging line rather than a retail shelf or a single humidor.
- No Individual Wrap or Card: The bulk trade-off that brings the per-packet cost down for high-volume work.
- Double-Overwrapped Case: Holds the 2 year shelf life for as long as the case stays sealed and unopened.
- Also Used for Seasoning: Integra lists 72% for humidor seasoning and for stepping RH down during a cure.
- 100% Salt-Free Formula: Plant-based glycerin and water, so no salt crystals transfer to the contents.
- Spill-Proof and Tear-Resistant: Stays pliable through hopper and hand-fill handling without splitting.
- FDA Compliant, Food Grade Inks: Cleared to sit in direct contact with the product it is packed beside.

Does This Case Include Indicator Cards?
No. Packets ship loose with no individual wrapper and no cards. The overwrapped cases are the configurations that carry them.
What Is the Difference Between 69% and 72%?
Climate. Integra points 69% at wetter rooms and 72% at dry ones, where air already low in moisture pulls it through a seal faster.
Is 72% Right for Storing Flower?
No. Integra directs cured flower to 55% or 62% RH. 72% runs well above that window and suits smokeable goods and seasoning work.
How Should an Opened Case Be Stored?
Move unused packets into an airtight tote and rotate stock. The two-year figure applies to a sealed case, not an open one.
