5g silica gel sachets explained for buyers
A 5g sachet can hold roughly 1.5g of water vapour near saturation (up to about 33% of own weight at 25 °C and 90% RH) and about 0.5g at 40% RH. That is enough to keep a shoe box or similar sealed carton dry across a long sea voyage, provided the carton is closed and not soaked by container rain, which is a job for container desiccant strips.
How many 5g sachets per carton?
One 5g sachet per sealed pack of roughly 0.02-0.05 m³ (a typical shoe box is about 0.01 m³, so 5g gives a comfortable margin for leather). For master cartons, use one 10g packet or two to three 5g sachets depending on volume and route. The Silica Gel Calculator sizes it from volume, target RH, and transit days.
Breathable paper, technical fibre, or non-woven
Small sachets are supplied in breathable paper as standard, with technical-fibre and non-woven outers for lower dust, higher tear strength, or automated insertion. The outer controls dust and print quality, not adsorption capacity: the silica gel inside is the same amorphous silicon dioxide (CAS 7631-86-9) in every material.
Warning text and private label
Every sachet carries a 'Do not eat' / 'Throw away' warning as standard. Custom-printed sachets with buyer branding, multi-language warning text, or lot codes are available as a private-label run; printed orders add roughly 5-10 days to the standard lead time and are confirmed at artwork sign-off.
ISO 9001:2015, SDS, COA, DMF-free
DryGelWorld holds ISO 9001:2015 (certificate 9101225) and issues an SDS, a batch-level COA, and a DMF-free product statement on request. FDA, food-contact, pharma GMP, Halal, and REACH certifications are not held; buyers in those regulated lanes should confirm the requirement before ordering.
Pricing, MOQ, and lead time for 5g sachets
Indicative ex-factory USD references for the 5g size are published on the pricing page. MOQ is negotiable with trial orders supported; plain sachets ship in about 3-7 days from stock and printed runs add 5-10 days after artwork approval. Footwear and leather buyers should read the leather and footwear export guide and the leather and footwear industry page. For the container itself, see container desiccant strips.

What is a 5g silica gel sachet used for?
Shoe boxes, garment cartons, boxed electronics, instrument cases, tool kits, and other sealed packs of roughly 0.02-0.05 m³. It is the standard packet for footwear and leather exporters shipping by sea to the EU, UK, and Gulf.
How many 5g silica gel packets per shoe box?
One 5g sachet per shoe box is the usual dose for leather footwear on a sea route of three to five weeks. Synthetic footwear on short routes can use 2g; boots and large boxes may warrant 10g. Container-level moisture should be handled separately with hanging desiccant strips.
Does DryGelWorld manufacture 5g silica gel sachets?
Yes. 5g sachets are filled and packed at DryGelWorld's Karachi facility in breathable paper or low-dust non-woven outers, plain or custom printed, and exported worldwide with SDS, COA, and a DMF-free statement.
What is the MOQ and lead time for 5g sachets?
MOQ is negotiable and confirmed at quote, with trial orders supported. Plain sachets typically ship from stock in 3-7 days; printed private-label runs add about 5-10 days after artwork approval.
Can 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.
What 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.
How long do sealed silica gel sachets last before use?
Unopened sachets in the sealed factory pouch or liner typically keep their capacity for 24-36 months. Once the outer pouch is opened, sachets start adsorbing ambient moisture, so reseal unused sachets and use them within days, not weeks.
