Are these in a bottle or are they a push-through package? Could I put them in a plastic bag without them going bad?

I have used these before, but prefer the Katadyn Micropur Water Purification tabs. I know Katadyn are push through packs and do last. I treat water for 20+ people in Africa with the Katadyn tabs every year and double the process with a Katadyn filter for safe measure.

They're tablets in individual flat foil packages that are in the box. You can remove them from the box to save space but I think they should probably be left in the foil until used.

I'd say awhile if you keep them sealed in a plastic bag. I had mine for about 2 weeks before our party-didn't open them and they were fresh and tasted good when we opened them.

This, I cannot answer other than to say I have had mine over a year and they are still good. I keep them in a cabinet away from moisture and a fluctuation in heat or cold, with the bottle tightly sealed.

The packaging is strong and will resist heat and cold a lot better. Harder to puncture too. They pack fairly flat and are easier to store than a few bottled water. I will say they do have an odd plastic kind of taste, but it is emergency water after all. I probably wouldn't buy more of these though. But they remain in my bug out bag nonetheless.

Hi Chris N.!Sandy is correct:-) They come wrapped individually, but placed inside a plastic bag/pouch. Let me know if I can be of more help here at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede

These are packaged in a single foil bag. You can easily put them in Ziploc bags and separate them. They are really worth the money!

It's best to seal them in an airtight plastic bag. I also add silicon packs to the box. So far, everything has remained dry and it's been over a year.

You would probably have to ask the manufacturer but I imagine they stay compressed for longer than that before shipping. They are wrapped in air tight plastic so as long as the seal isn't broken I would think it would be OK.

sorry - I transferred them to a zip lock bag in my frig so I don't have the original package. I thought they were good, though.

No - they are in a larger plastic bag. There are versions that are packed individually in plastic.

The ones I ordered and received were in glass bottles. I have purchased plastic bottles in the past and little packets too.

For what it's worth, I just keep mine in the original bag, tied with a twisty-tie, on a shelf in the basement and they do just fine. (I only use about a tablespoon every two weeks so a bag lasts a very long time too.) Maybe someone with a greener thumb will have a better answer.

I don't know, as I bought my bottles one at a time. Just keep them unopened in a dry area and they should be OK.

They come in a bag. I then put them in a sealed glass jar and took each one out as I needed them

They are dried and sealed... I have kept them in the bag sealed for a year without spoiling.... Once opened I keep on the shelf in the pantry - a dark cool place in a dry climate. If you have concerns put them in the fridg...

I put them in a ziploc in case they leaked but didn't put them in my liquids bag when going through TSA, had no problems.

Sorry, I don't know. I opened the original package and put them in a zip lock bag. I thought it would be on the packaging but threw it away.
