Default Freezing paper

Hello - I'm a recently signed-up member and still a bit of a darkroom novice, so it's great to find this forum

I have recently been playing about with lith printing, and has (what I considered to be) some lovely results with Maco Expo RF paper. Sadly, and typically, I believe it's out of production - but I managed to get hold of a few leftover packs.

I would like to preserve its life as best I can (I don't get into the darkroom as much as I would like), and I have read that the best way to do this is by sticking it in the freezer inside a bin liner or two.

Just before I consign this precious paper to cohabitation with the dregs of my old meals...

is this really true and recommended? I don't want to find that ice crystals get in with it and ruin it (in the way they seem to do with my leftover suppers...!).

Is there a maximum time that one should do this for?

Many thanks
jim
