Which are preferred, coin paper envelopes you cant see thru but can staple shut as the glue may fail......

Or Plastic that really needs a seal or lable to prevent easy tampering anywise......

I found the plastic ziplocs to be cheaper when i bought 2 years ago. 5,000 should last me another year or two.

I think paper is better. If you havent dried the seeds properly, or even if you have, paper lets the seeds breath. Of course, plastic can protect the seeds from getting wet (should be protected from water regardless of envelope typee), but I think plastic can promote mold since it may hold moisture in.

Plastic.....if you are storing something for a long time you do not want your packaging to breath. Once dried properly seal them and your done.
