Do you wrap cryovac packs when freezing?

I just bought a case of cryovac'd butts. I'm gonna cook 2 butts/1 cryovac tomorrow (smokin' in the snow mod ). So, when I freeze the other cryovacs, should I wrap, or foodsaver, or just throw in the freezer?
Inquiring minds want to know . . .

I've never noticed any problems with just having the cryovac only meat in the freezer. If I have some laying around, I'll usually throw them in a few plastic shopping bags as well. I don't own a foodsaver yet so I can't comment, but I'm sure that's a good option if available.

Just make sure there are no holes in the cryovac.

Enjoy the cook tomorrow !

I freeze the cryos all the time. Not ever a problem. When I split the pack to cook one of the butts, I completely remove the cryo and rewrap the others in heavy duty aluminum foil.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Weather tomorrow is light snow and clouds in AM, clearing slightly in PM. As long as it doesn't get windy and rain I'll be OK.
