- Step-by-Step Instructions
HOW TO USE:
BEFORE USING BOVEDA:
- ALWAYS insert Boveda into a holder before using in your instrument case. The holder acts as a liquid barrier if a packet is accidentally punctured and extends the life of your Boveda packets. The patented interior material allows water vapor to pass through to your instrument. The exterior is soft, like a polishing cloth, so it doesn’t scratch your instrument.
- DO NOT mix different Boveda RH levels including Boveda B49HA within the same instrument case.
- DO NOT use other humidification products with Boveda in the same case because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Remove the clear overwrap from the packet. (DO NOT OPEN the Boveda itself.)
- Insert one (1) unwrapped Boveda into each pouch of each holder.
- Place in the case anywhere that allows for airflow and prevents puncture when you close the case.
- Close the case's lid. Always keep your instrument case closed when using Boveda.
PLACEMENT IDEAS:

- Into the sound hole

Really appreciate 365 days a year more so right know when unable to play the instrument. I feel this helps to keep it safe.

Bought one a year ago and it had 4 packets. This one only had 3. Too soon to tell if it is a success.
- LLorantVerified ReviewerRated 1 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoNe maitient pas le taux d'humidité
J’utilisais Boveda 49 depuis près de 3 ans-sans problème pour ma guitare.-taux toujours proche de 49%). J’ai commandé un pack de 10 dont deux ont été placés dans un étui étanche. Résultat : 63% dans une pièce où le taux est de 68%. J’ai retourné le produit pour recommander un nouveau lot : même problème ??Pas de réponse du SAV Boveda.
BOBoveda® Official Site3 weeks agoThank you for your review and feedback. Boveda products will never over humidify. Please reach out to us at info@bovedainc.com for troubleshooting assistance. Please always use the B49 standard for guitar storage.
Music industry experts recommend that wooden instruments be stored between 40 and 60% relative humidity (RH). The Boveda patented 2-way humidity control system automatically maintains 40 to 60% RH inside of your instrument case. This stable humidity level helps prevent damage, like cracking, warping, and swelling, caused by humidity fluctuations. Because Boveda is zero-maintenance humidity control, your instrument will always be protected.
