List of products by brand Boveda
Boveda products solve numerous problems for cigars enthusiasts.
Boveda, creator of a popular brand of humidifier inserts, has announced that it has created a container that completely replaces the humidifier.
Boveda Inc., formerly known as Humidipak Inc., is a manufacturing company based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, United States. It specializes in humidity control for a multitude of industries and applications.
It was founded on July 1, 1997.
The company's technologies are used by cigar companies for shipping and distributing cigars, cigar connoisseurs for storing and aging fine cigars, art museums and collectors for conserving fine art, food manufacturers for extending shelf-life and improving the flavor delivered to consumers, musical instrument manufacturers and musicians for maintaining instruments over a lifetime, to extend the shelf life of cannabis, and by users for many other applications.
The technology behind Humidipak was co-engineered by formulations chemist Albert Saari and by Robert Esse, a packaging expert, in 1996.
Saari and Esse both came from General Mills Corporation.
The company was then founded on July 1, 1997.
The company owns patents related to two-way humidity control for packaging, including multi-purpose Humidipaks that manage moisture, absorb oxygen and control mold.
In 2008, Rocky Patel Premium Cigars started to manufacture a custom-printed Humidipak humidity control packet in order to make the cigars properly humidified.
Between 2010 and 2014, Ashton Distributors Inc., was the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Humidipak and Boveda brands for the premium cigar market.
Humidipak Inc. was re-branded as Boveda Inc. in the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association (IPCPR) 2012 convention.
Numerous companies use the Boveda technology in their product packaging to maintain relative humidity throughout the supply chain.
Internationally, Boveda has numerous distributors in Italy, Canada, South America, Southeast Asia & East Asia, Europe and South Africa.
The initial market application for Humidipak was engineered for cigars. As of 2014, Boveda is carried in over 2,500 stores globally.
Because 2-way humidity control is engineered to maintain a very specific, predetermined level of relative humidity (+/- 2% RH), the technology is being used to solve moisture-related packaging problems for many different industries and applications.
Some of these new applications are herbal medicine and medical cannabis, wooden instruments, pet food, and electronics.
Boveda products are available in many relative humidity (RH) levels ranging from 32% to 83% RH.
