TIL that storing my sandpaper in a sealed box keeps it fresh

I used to leave sandpaper sheets loose in my toolbox and they'd get damp or clogged with dust. Started keeping them in a plastic container with a lid. Now they last way longer and cut better on every project. What's your go-to method for storing abrasives?

After ruining three sheets last month, I now see that sealed storage is a universal shop need.

Moisture got mine too, so yeah, sealed bins are a must.

Wait, you guys are just figuring this out now? Hearing @jason_henderson lost three sheets finally explains the dusty sandpaper I see at garage sales. It seems so obvious once you ruin a few yourself.
