Individual polybag, master carton or container? Each level needs a different sachet size.
Use 1g per litre of enclosed volume as a starting point. 1–2g for polybags, 50–100g for standard cartons.
White for standard export. Blue indicating for quality-sensitive exports where you want to see if silica gel is saturated.

Silica gel is one part of the export packaging workflow. Most manufacturers order it alongside these accessories — each protecting the product at a different stage.
Tag pins attach the price tag and care label to the product before it goes into the polybag. The silica gel sachet goes into the same polybag alongside the tagged product. Both are used at the same packaging station in Tiruppur factories.
View ProductAfter tagging with tag pins and packing with silica gel, many home furnishing products are hung on plastic hangers for retail display. Hangers are ordered alongside silica gel and tag pins for a complete finishing and packaging solution.
View ProductZippers are sewn into the cushion cover or pillow cover earlier in production. Silica gel goes into the polybag after the product is finished and zippered. Both are used in the same product — at different production stages.
View Product💡 Note on polybags: Silica gel sachets are always placed inside the polybag with the product — not outside. For 1–2g sachets (standard for pillow covers and cushion covers in Tiruppur), place one sachet per polybag before heat-sealing. For carton-level protection, place 50–100g sachets at the four corners of the export carton.
These four products are most commonly ordered alongside silica gel by home furnishing manufacturers and exporters in Tiruppur.
