Storing unexposed sheet film

After opening a box of film, say a 100 sheet box, What is best way to store the unexposed film? I stored loaded cassetes in the fridge one time and forgot about one of them, the film was so stuck to the cassete, paint came off the film holder. Thanks for the help.

I wrap the box in plastic wrap, then put that in a zip-lock bag. I've

also put loaded film holders (in zip locks) in the refrigerator, but

not the freezer.

Bure to allow warm-up time before you open them.

Your problem was likely not temperature, but condensation. That's the

reason for the plastic wrap and zip locks.

You can put the film in the freezer, just remember to take it out

long enought to thaw before you try using it. I have stored film

and paper this way and have never had a problem. The baggies are

a very good idea, just be sure to open them when you defrost so the

condensation can escape. Pat
