I've gotten pretty protective of clear ice that I've gone to all the trouble of making, and have found odor-proof bags to be far better than the usual ziplocks available in grocery stores. I like bags better than rigid Tupperware so they can be reduced in volume as the ice gets used (I tend to have the ice stored for many weeks). I used to use OPSAK bags from Loksak, but discovered from an unintended experiment (donating one of my precious ice-preserving bags to address my wife's concern of refrigerator odors from her storing cut garlic) that they don't fully contain the odor. I also grew disillusioned from them in that the press-lock seals delaminated from the bag over time. I tried another one-off experiment of bags from Smellyproof (yes, a dumb-sounding name that belies the actual performance of them) and found they completely locked in all garlic smell. I used the 3 mil bags, but would have gone for the 5 mil thick ones had I seen them before ordering so hastily. I don't have long-term experience to judge their durability, but they appear to be sturdily made. There are other odor proof brands available but I didn't try to extend my experiments as my wife already thinks I've gone off the deep end on this (she would not be incorrect). And of course I'm assuming reciprocity of odor transport performance (i.e., if it can't get out, it can't get in), but that seems reasonable (I'm tempted to put fresh-cut garlic on the outside of a Smellyproof bag that has ice inside to really exercise this, but that really would be off the deep end). I'd love to hear if anyone has found other effective products.
