FAQ 01What is a 1g silica gel sachet?
A 1g silica gel sachet is a small breathable packet containing about one gram of white amorphous silica gel beads. Placed inside a sealed product pack, it adsorbs water vapour and keeps relative humidity low, preventing condensation, corrosion, mould, and caking during storage and shipping.
FAQ 02What is 1g silica gel used for?
Pill and capsule bottles, vitamin and supplement packs, electronics accessory pouches, small PCB and component bags, shoe boxes, watch and jewellery boxes, small leather goods, and any sealed retail pack up to roughly 0.01 m³. It is the standard unit-pack sachet in pharma, electronics, and footwear export packaging.
FAQ 03How many 1g silica gel sachets do I need?
One per sealed pack up to about 0.01 m³ with a reasonable moisture barrier. Use two, or move to a 2g sachet, for larger packs, hygroscopic products, porous card-only packaging, or humid sea routes of three weeks or more. DryGelWorld's Silica Gel Calculator gives a figure from pack volume, target humidity, and transit time.
FAQ 04Does DryGelWorld manufacture 1g silica gel sachets?
Yes. DryGelWorld is a silica gel manufacturer and exporter based in Karachi, Pakistan, producing since 1983. 1g sachets are filled and packed at its Karachi facility and supplied to packagers, distributors, and exporters worldwide.
FAQ 05What is the MOQ for 1g silica gel sachets?
There is no minimum order quantity. Trial quantities are supplied before any bulk commitment, and volume pricing applies at recurring monthly quantities. Printed private-label sachets carry a higher minimum than plain sachets because of print setup.
FAQ 06What does a 1g silica gel sachet cost wholesale?
DryGelWorld publishes an indicative ex-factory USD reference for the 1g size on its pricing page, in the range of a few tenths of a US cent per piece before freight. The firm price depends on sachet material, plain or printed, order quantity, carton packing, and Incoterm. Request a quote for a binding figure.
FAQ 07Can 1g sachets be custom printed with our brand?
Yes. Private-label printing with your logo, warning text in the languages you need, and lot or batch codes is available. Send artwork or exact text with the RFQ; printed runs add roughly 5-10 days after artwork approval.
FAQ 08Which sachet material should I choose for 1g?
Breathable paper is the standard and lowest-cost outer for general unit packs. Technical-fibre and non-woven outers reduce dust and increase tear strength for electronics, precision parts, and automated insertion. The silica gel inside is identical in every material.
FAQ 09Is 1g silica gel food-grade or FDA approved?
No such certification is claimed. DryGelWorld holds ISO 9001:2015 and issues an SDS, COA, and DMF-free statement. It does not hold FDA, food-contact, pharma GMP, Halal, or REACH certifications, so direct food-contact or FDA-DMF pharma applications should confirm their requirement before ordering.
FAQ 10How should 1g sachets be stored before use?
Keep sachets in the sealed factory pouch or liner until the packing line needs them; unopened they hold capacity for 24-36 months. Once opened, reseal the pouch and use the sachets within days, because they begin adsorbing moisture from the workshop air immediately.
FAQ 11Can you export silica gel sachets worldwide?
Yes. DryGelWorld manufactures in Karachi, Pakistan and exports sachets to importers, distributors, and packagers on EXW, FOB Karachi, CIF, and DAP terms. Country-specific routing, customs, and document notes are on the export pages for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA, UK, Germany, India, Australia, and other markets.
FAQ 12What is the HS code for silica gel sachets?
Silica gel desiccant is classified under HS 2811.22 (silicon dioxide). National suffixes vary, so confirm the full code with your customs broker. The site's import and customs guide covers the common variations.
