Polaroid is a special case because of the chemical pod that's included
with
the film.  Normal film can be frozen without problem, although film that
isn't in a sealed package (e.g. Ilford 35mm 100' rolls, sheet film) should
be put in a ziploc bag first.



  For the record, it was in the fridge, not the freezer.

  I had put the box in a plastic freezer bag. But because of the size of
the box, the bag didn't close.. so I left it open. Big Mistake.

  The envelope would not detach from the metal clip for the remaining 5 or
so that were left. Not sure what happened, but I am thinking that the metal
somehow bound itself to the paper given the moisture.

  Oh well, lesson learned.. the hard way *sigh*

  I really like Polaroids but they are so expensive..
