Seed Storage Question


Hello All,
I am storing seed for several months in the refrigerator. One of the
seed firms I deal with has sent what looks like vacuum-packed seed in
heat-sealed plastic bags. Question: do I have to poke holes in these
bags? I was taught that seed respirates even when dormant, and needs
some oxygen. Or is there enough dissipation through the plastic? The
bags are thicker than typical sandwich or food storage bags, more like
the ziploc pouches some electronic parts come in.

Thanks for your help.

Joshua
