You got a real problem with this kind of foundation as no matter how careful
you are it may oxidize over time and become unattractive as cut comb
foundation. But more times then not the bees will clean/shine it up and no
one will be the wiser.

Commercially your foundation supplier makes only what he can sell in any
one year and storage is not a problem. I would suggest for small amounts of
bee foundation a 2nd freezer or an electric ice box in working condition
would be
a low cost solution.
