It has long been understood that humidity is the single strongest contributor to the performance of a reed. If reeds are not kept at a humidity level between 42% and 60%, they will not perform at their best. When this occurs, the inconsistency experienced is not only frustrating but expensive to the musician. FlowPacks (named for the process of packaging used by Vandoren) are now packaged in every box of Vandoren reeds. It's a huge innovation in a small package.
Products - Flow Packs - Every so often an innovation comes along that changes how the industry thinks of a certain product. The introduction of humidity barrier individual reed packaging by Vandoren is just such an innovation.
