How to store VHS tapes without damaging them?

The best way to store VHS tapes is in a cool, dark place to prevent deterioration. Store tapes in airtight plastic cases and place them upright in watertight storage totes. Avoid storing them flat to prevent the tape from sagging. Rewind tapes after watching or before storing to keep the tape tight. Don’t store tapes near magnetic devices or speakers. Pack them tightly together to avoid cracking or breaking.
