Tips:
 The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– plastic containers for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
 The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
 Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
