I've bought (and use) the bins ULine sells of the

packets are very economical if you will be packing a lot, as the bin is not
tiny. When I box and bag something for long term storage, I throw a few in
the box, then into the bag surrounding the box, and tape up the whole thing.
Before silica gel became ubiquitous as a dessicant, toasted rice was
used. Very inexpensive if you could keep your package vermin-free,
but a real rat-and-mouse-lure otherwise.
Silica gel can be recycled by heating in an oven.
