<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 564892, member: 111&quot;]Doubtful there&#039;d be any damage from the plastic off-gassing through a cotton sheet, though silver should never be displayed or stored touching some plastics, rubber, or latex paint, some cardboard can affect it, and even wood, especially oak - so for me, a plastic bin is just as good a choice as a cardboard box, or the painted interior of a closet, or an unlined wood storage chest, so long as it&#039;s wrapped appropriately - can&#039;t see that this set would be worth investing in an inert, acid-free container.&nbsp; Have seen a lot of silver pieces in their decades-old sealed manufacturer plastic bags, still in mint condition, and conversely, have seen awful damage from silver wrapped with plastic wrap or rubber bands - a clean cotton sheet, pillowcase, or even a plain t-shirt is a safe, inexpensive wrap for holloware - other than some flannel and silvercloth pouches, I use laundered natural cotton muslin for any silver I pack away, though I have some acid-free tissue for fragile pieces (not sure it&#039;s really necessary)...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
