stepping over Lwert's post :-)

The Polariod packs should last at least 6-10 years in a fridge
as long as you store them in an airtight container with a moisture
zapper.  Amazingly enough they lasted 5-6 years when left in
a non insulated shed in Kalgoorlie (Western Australia - summers
= 40°C and higher)

Cheers
Ian
