Lasinoh storage/ freezer questions

SLO2005

Do you get all the air out before freezing or leave a little air for expansion?

 Do you lie the bag down flat first in the freezer then move it?

What do you store your frozen bags in within the freezer?

I have no idea if I do things properly or not...but this is what I do:

I do try and squeeze as much air as possible out before closing the bag and freezing.  I have one of those storage bins where you freeze the bag upright in it and it has a thing that slides and squeezes the bags together so they are as flat as possible (and any leftover air would go to the top).  I keep the bags in the bin until I use them...on maternity leave, I had enough to store in both the bottom and top of the bin---you can use the top for storage, too, instead of using it as a cover.

I try to get as much of the air out as possible, there is always a little left.

 I put the bag down flat to freeze it and then I move it to a cardboard box inside the freezer and try to keep the bags mostly standing up. We have a seperate upright deep freeze so I have plenty of space.
