If you want to store replacement bearings for an extended period until you need them I recommend coating them with the same wheel bearing grease you will eventually pack into them, like # L11380, and placing them in a zip-lock type plastic bag to keep out moisture and dust. Coating the bearings with grease and using an air-tight bag will keep them in like-new condition for years. You can even squeeze most of the air out of the bag before sealing it.
