My 2 cebts worth:
I have used the Space Bags. They are great to keep stuff dry and
clean. Also reduces bulk, somewhat, because they suck the excess air
out.
I cannot comment if they are "archival quality". I imagine that clean
and dry is better than damp.
Fill the bags on a low humidity day, so the fabrics don't bring excess
moisture into the sealed bag environment.

I'm sorry, I can't help give an opinion about those vacuum pack bags
as I haven't used them. I do know that they have those types of bags
for garments, and I'm sure they could be adapted to fabric. I've seen
them advertised on TV with the people packing away sweaters, blankets,
pillows, etc. I don't know how effective they are. Another thought I
had was those zippered bags like the ones that comforters come in when
they are new. I'm sure you could find them in a storage/organization
type store. Or how about tupperware tubs? I know they don't seal
airtight, but unless you are going to be diving into them often, you
could seal the lid with duct tape.
I hope that helps!

Hi, I'm moving and having to put a bunch of my fabric into a storage
locker (climate controlled). The problem is that when I took a bunch
of
stuff out of the attic at my current place, I found a silver fish (a
bug
that eats fabric among other things). I'm repacking, throwing away
the
boxes, and washing all most all the fabric, but I am still concerned
that
I might take a bug or two with me.
Has anyone used the vacuum pack thingies that are for food to pack
fabric
for storage? I was thinking that that way I could at least isolate my
best
stuff.
But I live in the great northwest where it is rather damp and I am
worried
that things might just mold if I do that.
Does anyone have suggestions?
