AVOX cuvette storage

The Ziploc function on our AVOX cuvettes keep breaking and doesn't seal anymore. The desiccant packet indicator turned completely pink.  We are wondering what other facilities keep their cuvettes in? We considered using a airtight container but are worrying about things like the pathlength not being saved if we take them out of the original container.  Looking for suggestions...

I keep mine in the original bag and have not had a problem - maybe this is just one bad bag you have?  You can get extra dessicant packs from Accriva to keep on hand.  The procedure manual indicates that you do not need to discard the cuvettes if the dessicant turns pink, but you do need to replace the dessicant pack to continue using.  As long as it's staying blue, probably doesn't matter what kind of container you use.
