Gel Desiccant

How much desiccant (silica gel) needed when vacuum packing clothing?

Hey all, I’ll be moving soon and I’m worried about shipping my clothing. I will be vacuum packing my clothing. I’ve bought a few bags of silica gel and was wondering is there a ratio for weight of clothing to grams of desiccant needed?

I would highly recommend it, we moved to Hawaii to Fl, then FL to Hawaii. First time we didn’t use silica and my stuff smelled musty. Second time we did and really helped, eliminated the musty and mildew smell on everything. Just go to Google and you will find several vendors, search: Silica Gel Packets

I used a 10 gram packet of silica gel in my home depot moving boxes, worked great!
