[sdiy] Trays for through hole resistors?

I thought my question made it clear that I wanted to know what  
prevents oxygen from contacting the parts. Is all oxygen evacuated  
from the bags before vacuum sealing? Most standard plastic is porous  
to atoms like oxygen and iodine. It takes a well-controlled process  
and very specific plastics to actually prevent oxidation.
