The National Center for Food Preservation (Harison, 2006) states that storage containers for freezer use should not become brittle or crack at low temperatures. They should be the following:

 resistant to moisture vapor

 durable and leak-proof

 resistant to oil, grease, and water

 able to protect foods from absorbing flavors or odors

 easy to seal

 easy to mark

Vacuum sealing

A vacuum sealer can be used to remove air from a bag or container. Without oxygen, microbes are unable to form. Vacuum sealing can be used in conjunction with other preservation methods. Upfront costs for this method include the vacuum sealer and plastic bags. The purchase of additional plastic bags, which can be specific to a particular brand or model of vacuum sealer, is an ongoing cost.
