OK, so what's wrong with taking plastics out of their original packaging and keeping them sorted (by color, etc) in the various compartments of a Plano box? Is there a "freshness" factor if you keep them in their original packaging? I go through the basics (flukes, senkos, brushhogs) fast enough that a full package of baits rarely last longer than a few months. I wouldn't do this with Power baits. In addition to space saving, it allows me to know what is what and when the bag is empty i know i need more. I buy multiple bags of high use plastics and then combine two bags in one, the normal package doesn't carry enough if you are on a hot bite or co-angler needs that color.

I keep my color choices to 3-4 and bait style to 3-4. I will combine 2 or 3 packs of same color / style of bait and then put those on a metal shower curtain ring with all like styles of plastics. Plus two 3700 boxes of hard baits.
I usually have a ring for: 10 inch worms Senkos Flipping bugs Brush hogs Swim baits for A rigs
I then keep a tote to replenish those in my boat storage shed. Reduces weight in boat and keeps things simple.

I sure hope my wife never hears this. Everyone could actually make life a lot simpler and still catch as many fish with this approach. I probably have soft plastics in my boat that have been in there for nearly the entire 6 years I've owned it that I have never used.
