Glass Jars - This could be a small glass concentrates jar with a plastic lid, or a glass mason jar. Use a container size that is relative to the amount of concentrate you have. You don't want to use something too big as the air inside the container could degrade your product. Glass is great to store products that don't stick, such as CBD crumble.

Silicone Jars - Although not completely airtight, food grade silicone containers are amongst the best options to use when storing CBD concentrates. Silicone is a great option for storing CBD concentrates because of it's non stick material. You can peel any sticky concentrates straight off and avoid blunting your dab tool reclaiming sticky concentrates off hard sticky surfaces! There is research that suggests high terpene concentrates can actually damage silicone, and with silicone not being air tight this is definitely storage for the short term.

Parchment Paper - Perhaps the easiest way to keep your concentrates fresh in the short term. Simply fold and wrap them in a small parchment paper parcel. The non-stick properties of parchment paper will leave 100% of your dry concentrate left ready for use.

Once you have selected your chosen storage method you must then be mindful of where you store your storage! In general you will want to keep your storage in a cool, dark and dry place.
