There are a handful of holdover techniques and processes that some growers have stuck with since the ‘old’ days, one of the more common being the use of “turkey bags” for storing flower. Turkey bags, or nylon roasting bags, might have been an easy, off-the-shelf option for storing a pound in the past, but as the industry has grown and evolved, innovative solutions have emerged to replace these outdated methods. Enter: the Terpy Bag®.

If you’ve been trusting TerpLoc® with your harvest for awhile now, you might know these as our ‘wicket’ bags, but after hearing (and smelling) the results from growers, we knew they deserved a name that describe what they do best – keeping your flower terpy with superior curing and storage.
The Terpy Bag® Difference
Terpy Bags® offer multiple advantages over roasting bags that streamline processes and improve your product quality:
- Optimal Climate Regulation: Terpy Bags® are made using our TerpLoc® technology, enabling cultivators to create the perfect, burp-free curing environment. By maintaining this ideal microclimate, growers minimize the risk of over-drying or mold growth from excess moisture that can compromise the quality, aroma, and product safety, while also eliminating the need to “burp” containers.
- Terpene Preservation: Terpy Bags® help preserve delicate terpenes by minimizing their degradation during the curing process and preserving them for the long haul. TerpLoc® has also been shown to better preserve the full spectrum of volatile compounds found in cannabis compared to glass. The result: more robust and distinct flavors that deliver for consumers (something turkey bags only deliver with poultry…).
- UV Protection: The UV protection element in TerpLoc® shields cannabis from harmful light rays. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes, reducing the potency and quality of the buds. With their added layer of UV protection, Terpy Bags® ensure that the most valuable components of your cannabis remain intact.
- Anti-Static Properties: Terpy Bags® have anti-static properties, unlike roasting bags, significantly reducing the risk of static electricity buildup. Static electricity can cause trichomes to cling to surfaces, leading to potency loss and product damage. By preventing this buildup, Terpy Bags® help preserve the integrity and potency of your bud.
- Weight Retention: By maintaining an ideal microclimate and preventing terpene and cannabinoid degradation, Terpy Bags® ensure that your product weight, along with potential revenue, doesn’t evaporate. Terpy Bags® help prevent over-drying, protecting your potency, and your bottom line.
While turkey bags may initially seem like a convenient, low-cost option, the potential loss of product quality and potency over time can result in lost revenue for cultivators. Terpy Bags’® ability to cure and preserve cannabis, on the other hand, will help save processing time, maintain product integrity, and ultimately drive demand for your flower.
It comes down to using the right tool for the right job.
For a tender bird and crispy skin, use a turkey bag.
For higher quality cannabis, use a Terpy Bag®.
