Choosing Between 1g and 5g Silica Gel Packets
Not sure which gram size you need? Match the desiccant pack to your container size:
1g Silica Packets - For Small Containers
Best for:
- Travel-size containers (50-100 capsules)
- Pet medication jars
- Small daily-use containers
- Size 3 and 4 capsule storage
- Containers under 200ml
When to choose 1g: If your jar is smaller than a coffee mug, or you're storing 100 capsules or fewer, the 1g silica packet provides adequate protection without taking up valuable space.
5g Silica Gel Packets - For Standard Containers
Best for:
- Standard supplement jars (250-500 capsules)
- Bulk storage containers
- Size 000, 00, 0, 1, 2 capsule storage
- Containers 200ml and larger
- Multi-month batch storage
When to choose 5g: If you're storing your typical capsule batches (250+ capsules) in standard mason jars or supplement containers, the 5g desiccant bag is your best choice. This is what most DIY capsule makers need.
