📦 What Is a Dry Box?
A dry box is a sealed storage container designed to maintain a controlled, low-humidity environment. It protects sensitive items such as cameras, lenses, electronics, documents, cigars, leather bags, and even medical supplies from moisture-related damage like mold, corrosion, fungus, or warping.
In countries like Malaysia and Singapore, where humidity levels often exceed 80%, a dry box is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity.
🛡️ What Does a Dry Box Do?
A dry box:
-
Absorbs or removes moisture from the air inside the cabinet
-
Maintains optimal humidity levels (typically between 25%–55% RH)
-
Protects items from mold, oxidation, and dust
-
Can be manual (with silica gel) or electronic (with dehumidifying modules)
