Yes, Rubbermaid is good, but failing that, re-wrapping the paper in 
its original wrapper and taping it up is good too.

As a commercial printer, we must ensure that our environment is 
around 50% humidity. Below 35%, the paper is too dry and causes 
static problems (clinging to each other) - and oddly enough something 
like Static Cling helps in the machinery. Over 70%, there are other 
problems because the paper acts like a sponge.
