Specs
There are two main types of humidity indicator cards: reversible and irreversible. Reversible humidity indicator cards work much like a thermometer, fluctuating to indicate the current relative humidity level. Maximum, or irreversible, cards are designed to indicate the highest relative humidity level to which goods have been exposed.
