Having just received all my foundation for the year would it be best stored in a tupleware box or not?
 
I use a large version of a tupperware box (60ltr volume) because this protects against any moth or rodent attack - I store in a garage.. I leave the original primary plastic packaging in place as well.
Lay it flat and interleave the packs with a layer of corrugated cardboard to even out the loads and allow some air flow (including under the 'bottom' layer). Goes without saying a cool north facing wall is best - but often easier said than done.
 
I keep mine in the garage laid flat in a cardboard box until needed. A few days before I fit it in the frames I bring it indoors to warm through or it can be a little brittle and will break.
