Film cotainers for seeds? R They Safe?

 

I was thinking of useing old film containers to store seeds for next year but
someone said that these containers are full of chemicals and aren't safe for
seeds.  Does anyone use these, or has any knowledge in regards to the safety of
using film containers to store seeds in?TIZ

Aren't safe for who?  You, or the seeds?

I use them to store seeds; they work just fine.  But I'm switching to
tiny plastic zipper bags because they take up less storage space.

I put them in a paper envelope and write the info on it, then drop them
in a ziplock. Biggest issue around here is weevils.

I use them for my vitamins. I can't see any reason they'd have problems.

I like to use film containers because they are air tight and, if
packed in low hunidity, will keep the seeds dry.  They do take up more
space than ziplocks, but most ziplocks are not gas tight and difuse
water vapor and CO2.
