A desiccant container ( 10 ) includes a cylindrical body ( 12 ) having a first end ( 14 ) and an opposed second end ( 16 ). The cylindrical body ( 12 ) defines a desiccant chamber ( 18 ) within the cylindrical body ( 12 ) for holding the desiccant material within the chamber ( 18 ) between the first and second ends ( 14, 16 ). The cylindrical body ( 12 ) is made of a flexible, gas permeable, liquid impermeable material. A first disk ( 20 ) is secured adjacent the first end ( 14 ), and a second disk ( 22 ) secured adjacent the second end ( 16 ) to facilitate closing of the ends ( 14, 16 ) and to support maintenance of a cylindrical shape of the container ( 10 ) during usage of the desiccant container ( 10 ) in high-speed automated packaging machinery.
