You can get a product called "Damp Rid" at the supermarket, usually in the "detergent/cleaners" aisle, typically near the drain openers. Damp Rid is nothing but dessicant.

I worked Falcon missiles back in my USAF days and we had to keep 8 to 10 bags of dessicant in each missile case, and change them every 6 months.

I would not recommend Damp Rid for packaging purposes. It is a type of desiccant that becomes liquid as it absorbs moisture. Quite messy, I would think, it nothing worse, in a package.

Damp Rid is designed for closets and other semi-open spaces. It would work in packaged applications if you can be sure it won’t spill.

Re: “Damp Rid”

You need to replace “Damp Rid” every several months, by buying NEW “Damp Rid”. Buying Rem-Dri or other dessicants which can be recharged in an oven is a much better option.....at least it is what I do.
