May not be news to anyone else but I found the Walmart brand Great Value quart sized zipper storage bags will hold a 4X5 film holder.

Careful - the owners of the "Ziplock" trade name will now have you on their radar .

I have done that for years, I put the loaded film holders and Grafmatics in ZipLok bags before I put them in the refrigerator. I keep them in the bag while I am out shooting and open the bag only when I am ready to use the film. Hence I have not had dust issues.

After the big names made their quart bags smaller these were the first ones I'd found that would fit my 4x5 holders.

I use anti-static bags, they come in different sizes. Picked them up on Amazon.

I find zip lock bags counterproductive as they generate static and attract dust. Good idea to use the anti-static bags.. I save the ones that circuit boards come in..

Insulated soft lunchbox from target holds 5 film holders and doesn't blow away while I'm taking a picture. Never had big dust issues here in south. More eco friendly.
They also make great cases for small wooden field cameras.

Yep, I get those too. Not sure where I got big ones but I have big ones that fit my 8x10's perfectly.
