I've never been much for canning and preserving, but now I've got a load of film to put up in the freezer. Seems to me that film to be frozen should be stored in airtight plastic bags (especially for manual-defrost freezers as have been recommended elsewhere). The problems with Ziploc and similar bags is that they don't come in custom sizes to fit large format film boxes. A bag which fits may be unnecessarily large, taking up valuable extra space. And ideally boxes would be individually bagged so that you wouldn't have to defrost several boxes to get to one.
Any ideas? Are vacuum bagging food storage systems practical for film? (I could use it for food, too.) Will stretch film like I use for packing for shipping work? Seems like it wouldn't be airtight enough. I'm primarily storing 10x12 and 7x17. The box sizes are 12x15 and 8x18. Suggestions welcome.
