I buy fresh film and immediately freeze the film unless I am going to immediately use it or packing for a trip.
I wouldn't trust the standard packaging if stored over a longer period of time. Doubt that these are all 100% impermeable with respect to diffusion of gases, humidity etc. I seal my films additionally before putting them into a fridge.

I do the same with croissants that I buy in bulk from Costco.
You are supposed to bag them up, not tip them in loose. Same goes for Costco muffins. Mr Ziplock is your friend!Generally croissants fresh will taste better than film, however croissants dry out in the freeze while film which is sealed does not.

My wife says it's never enough.I do the same with film in ziplocks. Remove the air, bag them up into flat parcels and into a Tupperware container.
My wife, however, is getting a bit cheesed off with losing a complete upper shelf in one of our fridges. I keep telling her that we have 800 litres of fridge freezer and that MUST be enough for two people!!
Seriously people you need to shoot moreI don't bother freezing 35mm, it gets used within 6 months of purchse at most. I do freeze 4x5 though, as I shoot a lot less. I do freeze/unfreeze/refreeze film, it is not meat, you can refreeze it however many times you want. Just put it in a ziploc and that's that, never had a problem.

I buy a cr@p tonne of it when I get it at a good price, or it's recently become available, because the prices always go up and often - Fuji C200, Lomo 800 etc - availability disappears for months.
I shoot a lot of film, and my freezer is also full, because I do not want to ever run into a no film available issue.
Yah, I don't get it. Freezer zip lock bags work great and are reusable, and you don't have that guillotine thing sitting there which musta cost some $.But you have to reseal a new bag every time you need a box of film. Aren't Ziplocks more convenient?

Well now you can freeze your steaks if anyone can afford to buy meat anymore.My method is just one route to go. I like the 4mil plastic and I have a good supply, plus I can size the bags to my needs and the seal is definitely better than a ziplock bag. Lol, that being said I just received a 300 count box of 1 quart and a 200 count box of 1 gallon Ziplock freezer bags so I do find the useful. Now I just got notification from the View Camera Store that that are shipping my 7x17 FP4 film, and that will definitely go in the 4mill bags and with the impulse sealer. As far as cost my impulse sealer came from Uline and cost about $250 so yes a pricey but it’s a high quality unit and big enough to handle 16x20 paper.
