If you're talking assembled and working boards, you probably want to put
them in static-dissipative (primary) packaging and put that in antistatic
(secondary) packaging that's capable of protecting them mechanically. The
totes aren't all they're cracked up to be unless you have a way of sealing
them. The "nickel" bags as primary packaging with pink-poly
(non-static-generating) secondary packaging to protect them from physical
trauma and the whole thing in a sturdy box together with other similarly
packaged and protected boards should do the trick. A little dessicant to
prevent condensation inside the primary packaging is helpful as well.

Subject: [CCTECH] PC board storage
Hello, all:
I'm seeking opinions on long-term PC board storage. Is it better for
longer term storage of "classic" boards to individually pack them in
"metal
out" static bags and store them in conventional cardboard boxes or should I
buy a few static dissipative cardboard boxes or Bentron plastic totes and
store the boards there?
Rich
